After 11 days in the NICU, Brooks finally came home with us on Monday, September 19. And what a week it has been! Aside from having his nights and days mixed up for the first few days (and a few sleepless nights for mom and dad), he is doing very well. We are all so happy to have him home!
Milo has taken very well to his role as a big brother. Every day when he comes home from school, he washes his hands and then finds Brooks to give him a kiss. He has offered to help feed Brooks a couple times and has requested several times to hold him. He still hesitates to call Brooks by his given name - he prefers "Rocket," which is the name Milo chose for him ("Rocket Superstar" to be exact). Sometimes he will call him "Brooksie," but for the most part it is still Rocket. I think that nickname will be around for a long time to come!
Congratulations on Baby Rocket...er, Brooks! You can sure tell he is Milo's brother. We are so glad you are all finally home. Enjoy your new member of the family. We are very happy for you guys!
