Reading
Brooks really enjoys reading to Colt. This is him showing him the apples in one of his favorite books.
Boys in Diapers
Because of the horribly hot weather lately, we had both boys in just their diapers. Brooks was hanging out on the den chair and wanted Colt to come sit next to him. Gosh they are so freakin' cute (I know, I am biased!)
Pooltime
We have been spending every weekend at my mom and dad's pool. It is just too hot outside not to be in the pool! Brooks has become a little pool rat with no fear it seems. He is jumping off the side into my arms, swimming to the steps out of my arms and hangs on to the edge of the pool and scales the entire thing. He just loves to be in the water. Colt also loves being in the water and has a huge grin on his face the entire time.

The Cast Is Off!
YIPPEE! The cast came off yesterday and now Brooks' leg can breathe. It has been one month since Brooks broke his leg and we couldn't wait to get that darn thing off. We went to the doctor yesterday and Brooks did a great job when the nurse removed the cast. The saw was really loud but she showed it to him first so it wouldn't scare him. When she finally got the cast off and we saw his poor little leg, it was red, rubbed raw, rashed and even green in places from the sweat. It was itching him pretty badly and seemed to be quite uncomfortable. However, he straightened it right away and even took a couple of steps on it.
The doc said that his leg is healing wonderfully. He has lots of new bone growing, which will make his leg very strong; however, it is not completely healed (and won't be for about another month) so we have to be really careful - Yeh right! No parks, climbing, swinging etc. for the next month so this should be really easy and fun!
We slept him in footie pajamas last night so he would not scratch at it. He woke up this morning feeling great, and although the doc said it would be a couple of days before he would probably walk on it, he was walking today! Dr. Brown doesn't know our Brooks very well!!! He walks slowly with his foot turned out a little bit, but I give it a couple of more days (or less) before he is running again. What a little trooper!!!
First Taste of Food
Colt had his first bowl of oatmeal a few weeks ago and did not take to it quite as well as Brooks. The look on his face was too cute! It took a bit but now he likes it - YUM!

Beer Boy!
We spent Memorial Day at Bill and Kelly Love's house, our friends here in Coppell. The boys have a pool volleyball tourney every year and the gals hang out, watch the kids, eat and drink. Brooks decided he would be the beer boy this year (and even thought he could partake - it is NOT open!!!)...
