8 weeks and shots

My blog has only consisted of Brooks as of late and for that I have no apology.
This little boy is my world.

Today we went in for his 8 week check-up as well as his vaccinations.
The doc confirmed what we knew all along; Brooks is a BIG boy.
He is in the 96th percentile for his length and 76th percentile for his weight.
We sure know how to grow em.


This kid loves taking baths. He is so calm and happy when in the bath tub.
(Carson was worried that Brooks would be embarrassed by this picture in the future so he covered his manhood.)


Day time around here is getting to be so much fun! Brooks is awake and alert a lot more and is starting to "talk" a lot.


Night time around here is great as well. Brooks is an awesome sleeper. I put him down between 9:30 and 10:00 and he sleeps until about 5:30. After feeding him, he falls asleep and sleeps until 8:30 or 9:00. This makes for a happy boy and an even happier mommy!


Brooks' first time in the tire swing at grandma and grandpa's. He enjoyed it.
(Right up until Carson pushed him a little too high and he got scared and started screaming.)


Brooks did so well with the shots. He cried for about two minutes and then was fine.
I'm pretty sure it was more traumatic for me than it was for him. I cried all the way out to the car. Those little band-aids just make me so sad.

Summer training has begun for cross country so Carson has been a little busy putting together workouts, but besides that not much is happening at our house.
We are enjoying summer and really look forward to all the Independence Day festivities.

I hate those shots... and it's okay I cried too.

He is such a cute little guy! And I remember crying along with all my newborns as they got their shots,too! And now that I think about it I cried with one of my girls just last summer who is terrified of shots. Isn't it amazing how much you can love them! And how much you appreciate your own mother now that you realize all she did!

Those band-aids are so sad. :( What a cute big boy! We covered E's manhood as well...don't want him to be TOO embarrassed later.

I keep hearing all the new mommies saying they cried when they took their little one in for shots. So the decision's been made. Steve gets to take our kids in for their shots and there's nothing he can do about it.
