Swimming with B

Brooks has always loved the water. Bath time has always been so much fun for him and he has never minded water in his face. So, we enrolled him in swimming lessons (aka water tots) at our local community center a couple months ago and he is loving it! Now, we use the term "lessons" very loosely. Obviously, there is only so much to be taught at this age, however, we all have a fun time! Matt and I have been taking turns getting in the water with him, and my first time was of course the time they have us dunk them under water for the first time! Just my luck. I looked at Matt and said, "really?! Are you kidding me!" Yes, I dunked him after thinking long and hard about not going through with it and with Matt's strong nod of YES...do it! And in the end Brooks didn't even bat an eye. He's such a trooper. I think mama was more scared than him.

Splashing daddy...I love Matt's expression in this pic!

Brooks' First Haircut!

Since Brooks is one now, the time has come to cut my baby's hair. I wanted to wait until after his first birthday since I knew he would look so much bigger afterwards. And that makes me sad. But since I was constantly brushing it out of his eyes, I was as ready as I could be. We were so happy to have Aunt Nicole cut Brooks' hair...which made it so much more special. Thanks Aunt Nicole!
