Blog Makeover and Brooks on the run...

Yay! I told you I would get better at this whole blog thing. Hope you like the new blog makeover. I've been meaning to get around to SPRUCING up my blog for some 10 months now, however I haven't really found the time, energy or motivation to do it, however today, for some unknown reason I called my friend Carol and she walked me through the steps. I feel like a new woman!.

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures to go along with this post however yesterday was an eventful day with no extra time to snap some photos. Brooks yesterday as I was doing laundry, I looked down in the floor to find that he was chewing on something. I have been extremely anal retentive about keeping our hardwood and tile floors spotless, as now our little man is quite mobile with his little army crawl that he's picked up. He's mastered it so well that I believe he's going to skip over crawling on his knees. So for some reason he absoultely loves the laundry room. I do believe that it has something to do with the fact that we moved Samson's (our maltese dog) dog bowls into the laundry room because where they were in the kitchen Brooks kept ramming over them with his new walker(See previous post for picture of walker). So since we've moved the bowls, he loves to fly in there to see if he can play with the dogs food and water bowl. Well luckly, as he swiftly makes it to the room without me noticing, the dog had previously eaten all his food so Brooks was just sticking his hands in the water bowl. So after scolding him to leave it alone 10 times as I was doing laundry, I finally just picked it up out of the way. Well I turned back around and he's chewing on something. So I being the attentive mother that I should be, run my finger in his mouth to find that he's chewing on a piece of SCIENCE DIET DOG FOOD. Of all the things the child could find and he puts dog food in his mouth and is enjoying it as if it were some bubble gum. Grrr.

So after this scare I look around the room and there is nothing that he can pick up so I decide to put away some laundry in his bedroom. As I return to the laundry room, Brooks is no where to be found. Keep in mind my baby is not even 10 months old until next week and he's just mastered his crawl within the last two weeks. So I look around for him and he's on the 3rd step of our hardwood stairwell up to the second level. How in the world? I tell you, I never dreamed in two weeks that we would need bird dogs to keep an eye out for this little fella. I mean, Samson barks everytime Bryan or I walk up and down those steps, however when Brooks goes up them, not a peep. What is this, do the dog and baby have a pact? Guess we'll see what else he gets into.
