Bye bye baby and hello

Bye bye baby and hello little boy!!

Maybe it is because the weather has changed and Brooks is sporting jeans (rolled of course- he is too tall for one size, and too skinny for the next so they droop plus had length to grow into) and long sleeves- maybe it is because he is no longer toddling around like a drunk but is running like a crazy man- maybe it is because he is so clear about what he wants (as clear as you can be without words) and understands so much- but whatever it is- my little baby is gone and has been replaced by this adorable little boy. And he is ALL BOY. Likes to get dirty, loves transportation items, runs around with boundless energy, tackles us and the dog, etc.

Ohhh, what's this in here?


Look Mom, it's my punching balloon!!!


I'm gonna make you get it for me!

Just like his daddy- loves the remote and is obsessed with the cell!






I took a ton of pictures at the park one day- and am going to put a lot up because I love so many of them. He was just having a blast chasing the dog, running around, and playing. We both enjoyed this early taste of fall :)


His weird new thing- 'standing' on his head like this for about 30 seconds- so bizarre!


Looking like a big boy!



Having fun with his best buddy Ming!





I took these shots in rapid succession as he ran towards me, so funny :) It would make a cute little flip book!








Mischief Maker!



And some other faves- told you I took a ton!
