Warning:  Brooks overload ahead!  
Our "baby" turned 18 months!  He is so full of life...he's our go getter and snuggler all in one!
18 month stats:
Weight:  24.9 lbs  45%
Length:  32.5 in    55%
Head:     49.7 in    90%
Pretty on target (yes, except for his head.  I know his head is big, why do they need to measure it?!)  As for weight, he is 5 pounds away from catching up to his sister!!!  : )  The doctor thought he looked great!  One doctor told me, "Oh, he's cute.  Real cute...but I can tell he is trouble!"  He does keep us on our toes!
Example #1:  He thinks he can do everything the big kids do at the park.  He climbs this the whole time we are there.
Example #2:  He's confident he can go down the big slide by himself.  
Example #3:  Bruise on his right forehead.  He has never ending marks from his adventures/falls.

Example #4:  Brooks is picking up words, animal sounds & sound effects but he doesn't talk alot...BUT he is very verbal with his grunts, groans and screams (happy joyous & the other kind too).   I am cherishing this time, I feel like once he starts talking, he's not going to stop!  I look at this picture and I hear, "Ahhhhrrrrrch."  
Example #5:  Fit thrower.  Enough said.
So much for the cute photo shoot I was hoping for at the park!

Brooks loves apples--just like his older brother and sister!
He loves hats and dress-up.  Recently, he has loved pushing around Anabel's baby stroller!  
#1 favorite:  DADDY!  This boy loves his dad!  
#2 favorite:  Anything outside, especially doing chores and anything involving a motor (4-wheeler/bobcat/tractor/pickup)
The three boys in their three new haircuts.  Yes, after waiting 17 months to cut Brooks' hair, he has now had two haircuts in one month!  : )  
Brooks bear, Brooks-er, Buddy Boy...we love you!  Thank you for adding so much joy to our lives!
