It's amazing how Brooks is changing week to week.
Although he is our 3rd baby it is remarkable for us to see him grow so quickly...in fact he seems to be getting older faster than Marie and Bennett did - funny how that happens!
Even so, we are soaking in as much of him as possible during this phase as we know it goes so quickly.
We are not quite sure how much he weighs but we do know that he is filling out his 3 month clothes very nicely and stretching the toes in his jammies to the max. We will be moving up in size soon. We are guessing he is right around 11 lbs.
He continues to eat very well with Mommy and from a bottle with Daddy.
He is having a nice awake period during the day where he is very alert and wants to be wherever the action is. The action is usually where his brother and sister are along with the two dogs of course.
He enjoys laying on his boppy pillow while looking around and moving his arms and legs like crazy.
We have started some tummy time too and his neck and head control is getting so much better already.
He is eating every 3-4 hrs at night and sleeps very well in his crib.
He is starting to prefer certain people at certain times which is very funny to see.
Marie likes to hold him in the morning before school starts and Brooks enjoys that time with her while playing with her hair and eventually falling asleep.
Bennett and Brooks lay on the couch or the floor together and I'm pretty sure Bennett will be the one who will get Brooks to laugh out loud first.
The dogs are so gentle with Brooks and are rarely in his space.
All of a sudden we will notice them watching Brooks and sort of asking permission to lay by him or give him a little kiss.
Overall, Brooks continues to be content and a very lovable addition to our family.
Below are comparisons of the 3 kids at 1 month...amazing to see how similar and yet different they looked!
