Trying to Escape!!

Brooks' newest little trick is scooting to the edge of his pack-n-play and trying to pull himself up. We have it set up at the storage office where mom and I work in the mornings while Landyn is at school. I used to be able to just sit him in the middle and he would play with his toys and I wouldn't have to worry about him. Well, now he can scoot to the edge and that could mean trouble. So it is time for me to lower him down before he ends up on the floor!!

Handprints on the Patio

Mom and Dad are doing some work on their back patio. Part of the work included using some cement. So we had the kiddos make handprints in the wet cement! Cute cute!! I will have to post a picture of the finished product soon!!!

Such a Great Big Sister

From day one, Landyn has loved being a big sis! She is so nurturing and sweet to Brooks. Last week, I put her in charge of feeding him lunch, which consisted of cottage cheese. Brooks eats just about anything and everything that we put in front of him, and he loves textured stuff the most! Cottage cheese is one of his favorites. Along with refried beans! I am not sure where either of those fall on the "schedule" to introduce to babies, but oh well. I did catch Landyn sneaking him a few bites of Starbucks pumpkin loaf yesterday at breakfast. When I asked what she was doing, she told me Brooks looked like he wanted a bite of her pumpkin loaf and then explained to me how she was giving him little bitty pieces that were smooshed flat since he only has two teeth!! And sure enough, he was loving every bite!!I definitely do not know where pumpkin loaf falls into the schedule. At this rate, he will be eating at a full buffet by next month! He also learned to drink from a straw sippy cup yesterday! Which is a really big deal to us since he still will not take a bottle! So he is taking water and juice now! So of course, Landyn loves sharing her drink with him!

My Little Man Turns Six Months!

Colton Brooks turned six months on the 10th! It is so hard to believe that it has been six months since we were blessed with such a precious baby boy!! He has been such a joy!! Everyday is something new and his smile can just melt you heart! I can't wait to go to his 6 month checkup to see how much he has grown. Of course I waited too long to set up his appointment so can't get in until April 1st, at almost 7 months! So, instead of stats, I will fill you in on his sweet little personality and what I love about this little man and what makes him special.

Colton Brooks:

Has the most beautiful eyes that absolutely light up his whole face!

His smile can truly melt your heart!

Absolutely adores his big sister!

Is SO TICKLISH!! I am talking belly rolls ticklish!

Loves to have nothing on but his diaper. Can't wait for summer weather out on the farm!!

Practically falls asleep during bath time. Gets so relaxed!

Eats everything. I mean this boy LOVES TO EAT FOOD FOOD!!

Loves to go. Of course having a busy older sister, this is good. He has to be on the go!

Has his Daddy's feet!! Cutest little monkey toes!! :o)

Is great in the car! Has taken some of his best naps in his car seat!!

I could go on and on!!!!

First Soccer Game

This picture pretty much sums up the first game. I can only imagine what the conversation among the three girls was, " So, which one of us is actually going to kick that ball??? Not it!!" :o) But they sure did look cute in their pink soccer shoes!!

Our Little Soccer Player

Studly coach Daddy

Ready for practice!

I am officially a soccer mom!! Landyn started soccer this season and it has been quite an experience so far! Patrick is the head coach and Blake is his assistant. Even Uncle T. Bear was in town to help out with the first practice! I am not sure how much Landyn is into the game though. She informed me today that she was not going to practice anymore until we went and bought her some "pretty practice clothes!" Really Landyn!!!! What can I say, she is a Diva through and through!

Introducing Brea

There is a new addition to the Pitts' family! Mom and Dad have a new puppy!! Little miss Brea! She is a Westie puppy and so precious. She has blended into the family splendidly and has been amazing with Landyn and Brooks!

WE ARE BACK!!

Yeah! We are back in action!! Let me explain. A couple of weeks ago, I won't name names (Patrick) dropped our lap top accidentally and it was toast! So this past weekend, we finally took the plunge and bought a new PC! Now I don't even know where to begin to catch everybody back up. When you have two little kiddos, it seems like so much happens in only a month! But I shall try my best to get back on track.

These pictures we taken several weeks ago out at my parents house. When all else fails, give the kids a box to play in right?!?! Well, we put Landyn and Brooks in a box and they stayed entertained for a while. Landyn is in one of Honey's pajama tops reading Brooks a book and Brooks is still in his Pj's hanging on her every word. So precious! I think Brooks is just over 5 months in these pictures. They are growing, growing, growing!!
