BROOKS IS ONE MONTH OLD!

Brooks turning 1 month old snuck up on me so fast! I can't believe the first month of newborn crazy is over-wow! This little man is calm, chill and a happy camper unless hunger (can't blame him). 

He does what newborns are suppose to do: eat, play and sleep. He is so different from Cooper and it's been a fresh of breath of air. I was so stressed about the newborn phase and I have been able to really enjoy it this time. 

Little guy is out of newborn clothes, size 1 diapers, probably takes 5ish oz.-but he nurses so well I have only done 1 bottle so far. He goes where we go with no trouble sleeping in his carseat. He has already taken many love taps from his brother as Cooper is still learning the idea of gentle-even though we go over it a 100 times a day! He sleeps anywhere from 3.5 to 5 hours during the night. I'm so ready to lose that middle of the night feeding!! He really is a little charmer and it feels like he has been apart of the family forever. 

 we have started back having play groups on Thursdays and it's complete chaos but am so thankful for sweet friends who will walk through this time with me. 

 This weekend Jordan was in a wedding in LR and with our upcoming beach trip I opted out of packing up the boys, so instead Nana and Joe Joe came up here! We ventured to Bentonville on Sat. and went to the Farmer's Market, Crystal Bridges, the splash park and Walmart Museum-it was so much fun and Brooks did awesome. That afternoon we went to Sadie Bell's 1st birthday-she is adorable! 

 This little monkey turns 2 next month-what?!?!?!?

so we will address the potty training soon. He loves going "pee-pee potty" and here is his face trying to go "poo-poo potty" it didn't work but he is getting the idea. Days he is home I try to see how long I can help him keep his diaper dry by asking him and taking him to the potty. I'm dreading this so much but I do think he is ready when I can find time to do it. He is my handful and so challenging at times these days and yet so much fun! He is learning and growing and it's wonderful. Never a dull moment with him and I just love him to pieces.
