January....settling in


Mommy and Miss Mary....all this kid does is SLEEPS!! Forgot how sleepy a newborn was!Daddy and Mary (yes, he is asleep...don't worry! I was RIGHT there!)
Stephie reading her books while I mopped the floors.
Stephie playing blocks in the kitchen while I made lunch.


Big Sister


Wearing her Cabbage Patch Kids shoes....CRACKING ME UP! I was on the floor I was laughing so hard!

Nursing her baby....it took her about two weeks but she has started imitating EVERYTHING I do with Mary. It's so precious!! She'll be a great mommy one day!


Brooks Family Christmas

The Week Before....


Stephie loves to read her books when she first wakes up in the morning. This is how I find her just about every day (in the morning and after nap)
Coloring with Daddy....he was making her a paper crane.

Cinderella....she loves to help me clean! It was so cute because she had one of her Princess Dresses on.

be patint

be patient my friends! i just popped out a kid, have had a second hospital stay thanks to an epidural issue and am JUST NOW able to move without HORRIBLE back pain. Mary is great...was born 12-28-09, 6lbs 2oz and 18.5 inches long. I was only in labor a total of about 18 hours, pushed about 15 minutes....labor sucked due to HORRIBLE back labor....delivery was awesome! Dr Cummings proved once again he is the MAN! Stephie LOVES her little sister! pics to come (about a months worth).....just be patient, trust it'll be worth the wait :)

much love,
the brooks FOUR
