Brooks had his 3 week check up today and the fact that he throws up almost every time after each feeding, apparently hasn't effected his weight....he is now 7 lbs 14 oz. and is measuring 21 1/4 inches. Now the last time we went in was only 2 weeks ago and he was 5 lbs 14 oz and still at 17 1/4 inches long......my how they grow so fast!!!
Brooks also got to attend his first KU basketball game last night against Cornell, and man he had a great 1st game to come to. He didn't see a peak of it though, he slept through the ENTIRE game, just like Kaden used to. Even with 16,300 fans, an amazingly loud video board introduction and the crowd getting extremely loud throughout b/c we were down most of the game (we won in the end...) he didn't bat an eye, well besides to eat once! So he is doing great and growing like a weed, literally.
Brett on the other hand had a scratched cornea as of Tues night after a city league game he played in with his friends in Kansas City. He got poked in the eye and got home right around midnight and told me about it, and said it hurt and things were blurry, then in the middle of the night during one of the feedings, he was in some major pain b/c his eye was burning really bad. Then when we woke up in the morning he couldn't see out of his right eye at all. He got into the Dr's office about an hr. later and he told him he had a pretty deep cut on his cornea, man that kid needed to cut his nails....and he got some numbing medicine and had to wear a lens over that eye so each time he blinked it didn't irritate it more. So all day he was squinting, blurry reading/seeing, red-eyed and little headache b/c of this accident. What a pain in the hiney! So the game was fun with him having to squint as well and keep track of everything, but he got through it. He went in this morning and they took the lens out and it had already healed pretty much all the way. Apparently your eye is one of the fastest self-healing parts in your body, which is a good thing. So now he just has a little blur and is continuing on. What an incident just to go have some fun with his friends!!!

I love the pictures! Brooks is so darn tiny and cute. I just want to snuggle with him :) I told Brett that I was really sad that he wasn't wearing a patch on his eye (pirate style) for the game the other night. Ha ha.
