Happy Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday in St. Louis with Josh's family. We enjoyed some football Thursday morning with friends, a wonderful dinner with at Grammy's house, a trip to the Transportation Museum (train heaven!) with Grammy, and play time with "Pops" and Kap'em. It was a jammed pack weekend of fun. Thanks to all for the yummy food and good company!

23 months: Mommy's Little Man

I cook!

I do laundry!

I play music....

All for my Mommy!

Look what I learned to do!

This is my favorite song to sing along to...

I ask for it every morning in the car with mommy.

Peek-a-boo!

-Brooks is now 23 months! Only one month to go before we no longer count in months ;) He is learning how to help me out by cooking, cleaning, and even entertaining me. Ha ha.

He did have fun baking cookies with me and always likes to throw the laundry into the dryer. He has been testing us again (wonder if I can blame it on teeth this time?). He is hitting and throwing things because he thinks it's funny. Time out really does not seem to work very well. He does understand what it is...but will do it again the next hour. Oh well....I know it is a phase. I just thought we were out of the phase already. I think he does it when he is bored or we are not showing him complete attention. It is very challenging. The reason why I say it may be teeth is because he has been waking at night crying. He needs rocked for a minute then goes back to sleep. What is up with that??? I am not used to getting up in the middle of the night. I also think it may be nightmares. He always talks about ghosts and these episodes happened shortly after Halloween. Some of my friends said it happened to their child at this age as well. Who knows....but it has to stop soon! Come on molars...pop on through and ghosts be gone!!

Happy Birthday "BruBru"

Brutus has taken over the empty guest room

Don't think you can squeeze through....

Sweet Brutus

Shotgun!

-Brutus turned 5 today! He is such a fun and loyal dog. He brings so much joy to our lives with his funny faces. We spent the day loving on him and even took the family for pictures in the park. It was a beautiful weekend and we took advantage of it.

-Aunt Tammy's Birthday was on 11/3 (Happy Birthday!) and we went out to eat Sunday to celebrate. Uncle Tyler even came back in town from IU (with his new girlfriend ;)). Hope we did not scare her away!
