Brooks 2 Months

So I have been terrible at blogging and I am going to be

sooooo mad when I look back and I missed blogging 

about everything I did. But I thought I better start now

and have something for sweet Brooks to read about himself.

I am going to go back and write about previous life happenings, 

but since he is 2 months today, I will start here.

I can not believe our little Brooks is 2 months. I should not say 

little, bc he is our biggest baby. He started at 7 lbs 1 oz

That's a whole pound bigger then Ty was and 2 more then Jace

and 3 more then Addie Kate. WOW!!!

Brooks is a great baby. I know exactly what to expect everyday. 

God knows I need that and always provides me babes that stay

on a schedule! Praise you God for that!!!!!!

Sweet Ty Ty,

My little baby is growing up...it makes me sad but also happy you are growing and you 

are healthy. You love to talk and do it all day! You all the sudden LOVE Barney.

We have had a hard couple of weeks with your 2 year old molars coming in, 

so you have watched lots of Barney b/c it makes you happy. 

Today we had to take you to the doctor and you had an ear infection and some

mouth virus, so today has been especially hard. You have been especially coddley. 

I hate it when you are sick but I sure love to coddle with you:) 

Your daddy and I continue to pray for your health and future mate, and most of 

all that you follow the Lord all the days of your life! We also pray we do

all we can as your parents to raise you according to His will.  We love you so 

much little man! You are precious!

Follow commands. This is AWESOME!!!

Since I am doing this about a week after his 18 month post, 

there is not much change at all...

Sweet Ty Ty, 

Another crazy month for us. You are still the sweetest

19 month old I have ever met. I think the Lord daily for that!

Your precious Grand Lady passed away this past month on 

March 31, 2012. We had her funeral on April 6. She loved you so much.

There was no doubt about that. It is hard to think that when you get older 

you will have been to young to remember her. But you loved her just as

much as she loved you. Yall had your special way of playing with each other. 

You also wont remember that I was pregnant with your baby sister or brother. 

But I will tell you about it when you get older. When I went to my 13 week

appointment we found out that the baby did not have a heart beat. 

It made your daddy and I very sad to hear that, but we know someday

we all will met him/her in heaven!  The other cool thing that I thought

of right after we heard the news is that Grand Lady is loving all over

your baby sister/brother. Daddy and I love that thought. It make us happy 

to picture that! We have been thru a lot lately, but God is helping us thru 

every bit of it. It is not easy, but it is life and we know it is all OK!

We are soooo thankful for you. We want to keep you close and kiss 

all over you.  We know in the future you will have siblings. I have no 

doubt about that. If I can't/don't have anymore kids of my own we will 

adopt you lots of siblings!!!  It will be great!

We love you soooo much little man! 

Mom
