checking in

Sheesh... I have barely had a minute here and there because we have been so busy. Last Thursday Brooks had a scary incident at breakfast- I *think* his waffle got caught in his throat or something, but he turned red and completely flipped out during breakfast. He cried pretty much immediately, so I don't think he actually reached the choking point- but something happened. I did throw him over my arm and pound on his back a la baby heimlich, and I swept his mouth and got some mucusy waffle. But for 30 minutes straight he did not want to be put down and was just a mess. Then for 3 straight days he was miserable, waking at night, cranky, etc. I think maybe he was sore and the waffle scratched him? (it did have a bit of a burnt edge). I don't know. All i know is that today my baby was finally back to himself, and it makes me feel so much better.

And of course- pictures.

This week- Ming & B are well on their way to becoming BFF's




Today was the Phillies Home Opener- so he got to wear a batting helmet in honor of this at playgroup :)



We also have been enjoying the great outdoors- if this picture does not capture pure joy I don't know what does. The 2nd picture not so much joy- but it cracks me up!



Give him a bag full of toys (I was cleaning out his toy bag- my house normally is not this overwhelmed by baby stuff) he would still rather play with kitchen equiptment





He has 2 working grins- his normal big smile he got from daddy, and then a closed smile where he scrunches his nose and just looks adorably silly

And today we went to meet my friend's new baby- Zoey. Zoey is 2.5 weeks old and she is bigger than Brooks was when he was born- which is crazy because she felt like air to hold and look at him next to her!
