Play time

Dax went fishing and Brooks is swinging in the backyard. 3/10/12
Them riding in the Dune buggy was the first time Brooks rode with Dax. He was so happy. I tried to get him out and he cried. Dax was such a proud big brother. He wrapped his arm around him and drive him all over. It was the sweetest thing ever! 3/18/12

Brooks turns 1!!!

Brooks turned 1 yesterday. I can't believe it!! We are having his birthday party this weekend, so more photos to come on that special day. We turned his seat around in the car. Can you tell he is a happy camper?

My Little Walker and Baseball

I can't believe "Big Fat" decided to walk!!! And of course it was while I was out of town. He was staying with Mama Carol and Papa and he was walking between the two sofas. We got him home on March 6th and it walked from the breakfast table to the kitchen. I couldn't believe how far. He still prefers crawling. I'm ready for him to walk so we can go outside and he can toddle around.
He has been saying small words like Na Na for nanny, yum yum, done.
Dax has started baseball and he is playing first base. He said he's going to hit to the fence so he can get the game ball. His little team is young so it looks like they will probably lose most of their games. It's starting to fruststrate Dax. He keeps saying "we keep losing" I think it might be a little competitive.

What have we been up to lately...

Well, Brooks is very close to walking. He is holding on and moving very well. I stand out in front of him and he always dives into my arms instead of making walking attempts.

I think he calls me baaaa. He says dada but I think that means daddy, momma, and dax. He has been waving bye bye only sometime. He loves to eat cantelope, cheerios, and yogurt. He's favorite book/song is "old macdonald" he attacks his book (which has finger puppets).
I can't believe his 1st birthday is coming up. It doesn't seem like he's been with us that long. Such a sweet loving baby.

Dax has been working on reading more. I'm trying not to be too pushy.

He wrote down yesterday if he had $100 he would buy a bird. ... Interesting. He has been watching RIO.

The things he says always amazes me. The boy doesn't forget anything. I hope this mind of his stays forever. If I forget he always remembers! Ha!

Brian has been telling him bedtime stories about a boy named Dax and Heyaheya. He looks forward to them every night.

Dax says he is very adventurous. He says he's going to the air force academy when he gets big. We'll see!!!!
