Growin' Boys!

Brooks and Barrett got a very special package today in the mail. One of my best friends, Ann was incredibly thoughtful and picked this Baylor Bear poster up for us at a recent football game. I can't quite describe the excitement in our house (from all of the boys, including Nick). Pretty awesome birthday present for Brooks. Apparently this was a marketing ad for milk, which completely applies to our house.
Months ago Brooks preferred juice over milk. We told him real football players drink milk and if he wanted to big and strong like a football player he had to drink his milk. Now-a-days Brooks prefers milk so that he can grow big and strong. So he loved the poster. He is actually terrified of mascots so we are praying this doesn't backfire in the middle of the night. Until then we'll be drinking our milk and charting our growth! Thank you so much Ann for thinking of us.


Aaaaaaaaa........Sic'em Bears!

Speaking of growth...this little boy has officially moved! Out of his CRIB! We decided that the transition might be best done as soon as we returned from our summer break and it worked. I was more than willing to let him go back to the crib but he hasn't once looked back :) He and Brooks now share a room and he loves to sleep in his big boy bed. We've hammered out a routine that's working so far. We usually have to give a warning about chit chatting but for the most part they are doing great and enjoying the slumber party.
