Segway

Brooks has decided his push toy can be even more fun when used as a segway.

Happy First Birthday Brooks!!!

Brooks celebrated his first birthday with friends and family on Saturday. What a blast. 
Brooks had lots of help opening his presents.
"Look at all my fun new toys" 
Brooks wasn't so sure about the cake. He didn't really know what to do with it.
"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to."

Thanks everybody who came to celebrate Brooks' big day.

Costumes with Caleb

We got together with Cousin Caleb for a photo shoot in their Halloween costumes.
The little chunky monkey
Neither of them could figure out why the other was dressed so funny.

Brooks didn't want to stop playing to take pictures

One year redo

We thought for kicks we would take a redo pic of Brooks on Justin's arm. Here are the attempts. Brooks was not as sleepy and cooperative as a he was a year ago :-)



My new wagon!

Brooks loved helping Daddy put together his new wagon that Grandma and Pop Chandler gave him for his birthday.

Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Brooks!

Brooks turned one on Halloween. I can't believe he is such a big boy. It was a big day for Brooks. Mommy wasn't thinking and scheduled his doctor's checkup (which included shots), so he wasn't feeling his best come trick-or-treating time. He held up the best he could though.

Trick-or-treating (Brooks thought the candy was toys and kept throwing them on the ground)

Grandma and Pop Chandler gave Brooks a wagon for his birthday that really came in handy for our trip around the neighborhood.

My little turkey was all tuckered out halfway around our loop.

A Trip to Cagle's Dairy.

We went a few weeks ago to Cagle's Dairy with the Reinhardts for some fall fun. There was a corn maze (Ryder got us through it successfully), tractors, and bouncy toys. Brooks was a great sport, but will probably enjoy it more in years to come.
Out plowing his fields.
Ryder, Kent, Melanie, and Marley Reinhardt. And of course the corn maze scarecrow.


Such a big boy.

We went to Aunt Granny's house in Chattanooga for her house warming party. Brooks was the star of the party (in my mind of course).


He wants to be a big boy so bad and loved playing with Cameron's bike and helmet.

Slippers!


Brooks got some fun new Thomas the Train slippers. I wasn't sure if he'd like wearing them, but he loves them. He doesn't want to take them off!

Lately. .

It rained the other day, and Brooks was so sad because he couldn't go outside and play.  He did have fun watching the rain though.
  

Brooks' new tunnel (a.k.a. Mommy's new dining room table) was delivered today. I was worried Brooks would be sad about the loss of his big open play area, but he quickly learned to play under, and around our new dining room table.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Brooks absolutely loves to get into the kitchen cabinets. His very favorite is the one full of tupperware. He is successful in taking pieces of it into every room of the house.
 
Playing in Daddy's boots
Snuggling with Cousin Caleb
Caleb wanted in on that thumb, but Brooks doesn't share that thing with anybody.

Fall photos

Here is a sneak peak of Brooks' Halloween/Birthday costume. More to come when the actual date arrives.
We went to the Autumn Festival of Holly Springs this weekend. Most of the activities were for big boys, but we did get some cute pics.



Brooks wasn't so sure about sitting up on the big tractor tire at first, but he was all grins after a few seconds.

A Bulldog fan even when the chips are down





We had a great time visiting Aunt Ressy and Uncle Gabe last weekend. All except for how the Georgia game turned out :-(

Look at him go!

Since I've been bragging on how Brooks is such a great walker, I figured I should show some proof.
