three months/ten years

A couple weeks ago Brooks turned three months on our tenth wedding anniversary.  We ate take-out teriyaki in our back yard on a blanket, the kids in wet swimsuits and Brooks in his bouncy seat.  It wasn't romantic in the traditional sense but it was perfect and far less stressful than lugging our three kids to a restaurant because we couldn't find a sitter...

Brooks is doing well at baby things.  This includes drooling, improving his tummy time performances, sleeping pretty soundly at night and being so gosh darn cute my face hurts.  Less than pleasant baby things include having some days of mystifying (short) nap habits, grunting loudly while nursing and not moving his bowels for 7 to 14 days at a time!

I savor these days.  Like the end of a chocolate milk shake, I suck on these baby cheeks noisily and without apology.

Would have posted some wedding pics but we're so old that we don't own the rights to publicly display our wedding photos! Yes, we were married before photog-on-every-corner-of-Facebook, digital age!  I am sure I could contact the lady we used and get her permission but I am lazy. If you want to peek at Marcus without a beard and the epitome of a child bride, come over and have a cup of coffee and you can look through them :)  You may also zerbert the baby while you are here.
