On Monday for Family Night we went to the park and raked leaves, then jumped in them! Brookie loves leaves so this was a perfect activity=). It was really fun playing in the leaves together and it was a good thing we played outside because it was freezing on Tuesday!

Brookie's arrival marked 5 generations on my mom's side! Here is the 5 generation picture- pretty amazing!

Crawling baby!!

Brookie is almost 10 months and is a little crawler. She only weighs 14.5 lbs so she is still little, so it looks so funny to see her crawl. She looks like a little bear cub =). She is so much fun and is all about exploring everything she can. She also loves to pull herself up on furniture and I always find her peeping over the edge of her crib when she doesn't wanna take a nap =). Man, being a mom is the best! Oh, her hair is also super long now as you can tell from the pigtail picture!! I had to do it!

8 months of bliss

These are some of our latest photos of Brooklynn and our family.

Can you tell we are obsessed?

More pictures.

So it has been a long while since we updated our blog. Brookie is now just over seven months old and is doing great. She is the joy of our lives and makes each day exciting. She is sitting up on her own really well now. She loves to stand (with our help)and bounce. She is on a good sleep schedule sleeping about 10-11 hours a night and then one short and one long nap every day. She is still small for her age but is completely healthy. In fact she has never really gotten sick, even this last week when almost the entire immediate and extended family were throwing up. We love her and love seeing her grow older. She also has her two bottom teeth and we had to cut her bangs because they were getting in her eyes.
