Brooks has been a part of our family for one month, now. If you look at his size it's hard to believe that he is only one month old. Yet, as he still works on gaining control of his head and little body, it is quite obvious. He is a joy to have around. We are all still working on adjusting to the addition in our family, but we love it! Here are a few things about Brooks.
1. He gives the biggest smiles as he fades in and out of sleep, and does the cutest sly half smiles.
2. He is rather easy going for the most part. His crying is usually for a reason and can be calmed with a little work.
3. He seems to like his big sister and her (sometimes overboard) loving attention; thank goodness!, because she definitely loves him and trying to help him.
4. He likes to eat and is growing fast. He currently weighs over 13 pounds.
5. He, actually, sleeps. His sister didn't do much of that; it's a good change.
In his one month of life, Brooks has met a fair amount of family. Dave's parents came down as soon as he was born, and we later said good-bye to my mom who came to help us for two weeks. My sister Catherine came out with her little boy to help during the third week; Genevieve was in heaven to have a constant little playmate. Dave's sister's family and niece and nephew of his other sister all came down to visit, too. Plus, several friends who have come to visit or help us. It's been an eventful month and, definitely, worth every bit of it!
