Brooks is 23 months old!

I am having a difficult time believing that Brooks is 23 months old.  He is the same age that Jackson was when we had Brooks!  How did we do it?  Jackson seemed so big, and Brooks still seems like my little baby. Brooks is such a funny little boy who is always looking for adventure! He talks all of the time!

Brooks

• Wears 18-24 months clothes. He is so much smaller than Jackson at this age, so he will have a smaller wardrobe this summer!
• Weighs around 25 pounds
• Has been sick this month with RSV, double ear infection, and the stomach bug.
• Loves Toy Story, Cars, Mickey Mouse, Tayo, Curious George, Daniel Tiger
• He is very animated when he watches a movie.  He laughs out loud and yells at the screen. It is very entertaining!
• Talks all the time!  He new favorite words/phrases are "Mine, No, Help, What, Nana (banana), Where it go?, Bop (stop), There's Mommy, There's Daddy, I love you, car, train, truck, cookie, cacker (cracker), Ru Ru (dog), He Haw!, Tay (okay)"
• Throw major fits complete with screaming and getting on the floor
• Shakes his head no
• Still a night owl!
• Loves trains, cars, and trucks
• Loves to play outside and look for buses and trash trucks
• Loves to tell people "Shhhh" and puts his finger on his mouth
• Loves to read books especially Llama Llama, Little Blue Truck, That's Not My..., Where is Baby's?
• He has no fear. He loves to climb on everything- the couch, the chairs, blocks, tables-everything. He loves to slide and run!
• He loves his two blankies and still loves to cuddle. 
• Has gotten to be a very pick eater- will eat yogurt and applesauce.  He will sometimes eat bananas, pancakes, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, grapes, and strawberries. He will always eat cookies, crackers, and cake though.
• This child loves to play games on the iPad!  He also likes to take lots (like hundreds) of pictures when it is locked!
• He is big into naming body parts- hair, eyes (he likes to poke them), mouth, ears, tongue, teeth.
• He also likes to make animal sounds.  I love when he does the cow, cat, and sheep. He calls giraffes- affes.  It is so cute.
• He loves music-current favorites include Taylor Swift and Maroon 5 (Sugar).
• He hasn't been able to go to church nursery a lot since he has been sick, but he still likes it.
• He is still a tornado when it comes to toys and the playroom.
• Eating out with him is difficult.  He no longer wants to sit in the high chair, so that makes it interesting. 
• He puts up the biggest fight getting into the carseat!  It is crazy.  He refuses to sit and screams!
