Ta-Da

When Brooks reaches a milestone it's almost like magic. It unexpectedly happens. Tuesday marks his 3 month birthday and sometime last week it crossed my mind that he wasn't really lifting is head up. I thought to myself, "Man, I have a week to get him caught up. I mean, shouldn't he be pushing up and starting to roll over." Keeping in mind that every child develops differently, I knew doing these things were 3 month milestones.

Well, low and behold my little Einstein surprised me with a little head bobbing last night. Mind you this is at 10pm (The late night is another story), but I couldn't help but be excited.

Here is some video of his magic trick.

Speaking Japanese

Brooks and I had a conversation the other day. It wasn't the first one we've had, but definitely the longest. I call it talking, although it sounds more like Japanese. Here's how it went:

Me: "What are you doing today?"
Brooks: "Ah, goo." (Translation - Hanging out on the couch.)
Me: "Oh really?"
Brooks: "Ohhhhh Ewwww" (Translation - Yep)
Me: "Do you come here often?"
Brooks: "Owwwwwe, goo" (Translation - Every day)
Me: "Let's go play in the rainforest." (His play mat with lights and music)
Brooks: "Ah um." (Translation - Ok)

Video Disclaimer - The camera started to drift so you only see half his face for most of it. :) My bad.

Turn that Frown Upsidedown

Brooks is adding to his repertoire of facial expressions. He now frowns. And, while I should feel sad that he sad, I actually find it more humorous than his squawking happiness. The frown will appear out of nowhere. The smiling, almost laughing child, will in an instant flash that puckered bottom lip. Justin will continue to play with him and Brooks will go back and forth between smiling and frowning... like, "Am I happy or am I sad?"
