Monkey

Brooks' cousins, Beau,Daisi, Mattie, and Shep, gave him this monkey when he was still in my tummy. It has recently become his best friend. He loves to take it everywhere, and when he's really upset (as shown in pic 2), his monkey can make him feel better.

Things Brooks is loving these days

Dancing, to any music, especially in his boots!

Blocks, and he can get a pretty tall stack going.

Christmas!

Grandma and Granddad Johns gave Brooks a super fun ride on fire truck. He hasn't mastered driving it around yet, but he loves to push the siren.

Brooks had fun playing the harmonica with Uncle Funky aka Granddad

Justin thought it would be funny to wrap up his old BB gun and Chinese star for Brooks for Christmas.

Brooks loved all the presents. He especially loved stacking them and restacking them. He has a thing for having things "his way."

Brooks wasn't psyched about Santa.  This was right before the major crying :-)

Thanksgiving fun.

We went up to Knoxville for Thanksgiving to visit my family. The trip was filled with many fun activities...
