My Heart

It's amazing how quickly she is growing up. I know they say time flies...but really, it does! This week we have continued on practicing sitting up...she's getting better all the time. Her cousins came over and went swimming with her the other day (that's her with Auntie)...the more she was splashed, the more she laughed...my little daredevil. She is getting to be quite the personality. When I picked her up from her Granny's house today, she was so happy...laughing and laughing. You can't help but laugh right along with her. She can definitely brighten up your day. She's getting better with holding her own bottle now -tends to get a little lazy about it, but I would too if I knew someone would just feed it to me:). She is also starting to put her pacifier in her mouth on her own- still only takes it when she is ready to sleep. Moved on to peas, loved them! She's such a good little eater. Went to her first high school football "meet the team" to see her cousin QB. She ended up falling asleep, but it lasted pretty late. She enjoyed it up to that point though. She's a very scheduled child (a schedule she made herself- God bless her)....when it is 8:00 she is ready for bed! Well, that is about it...just loving my baby girl and life with her in it!

Cubs or Sox???

Brooklin is still doing very well with the eating. Starting peas tomorrow, so that should be interesting:). Uncle Ernie is trying to make her a Sox fan....she's wearing a Sox hat in one of the pictures. I don't think her daddy would like that too much, but Papa would. We've been working at the sitting up and she is getting better. Starting to wonder if she is cutting teeth... that should be good times. She's so amazing. Everyday I just look at her and can't believe she is actually here in my arms. I prayed for her for so long and God actually blessed me with her. Not sure if I ever did anything to deserve her....but thankfully God gave me a chance with her anyway. I just am so proud of her. She makes me happy even when other things in my life get tough. I'm so lucky! Mommy loves you, Brookin!

Flying Baby.....

Not much new to report this week. Brooklin has been doing great with the eating. She loves her some food!!! She did get to go to her first movie with Vaushna and the kids... Guess her eyes were really big and then the next time Vaush looked at her, she was sleeping. Funny kid. Besides that, we have just been hanging out. We have started working on sitting up. That's going to be a long process. Poor baby:). She loves playing "flying baby". It always makes her laugh...I've included a pic of her and her Uncle E when she was in her Superbaby onesie with cape (from Vaushna). She has also started blowing bubbles all the time. She thinks she is so funny! Such a big girl! We are going to a birthday party today for her cousins, so she'll have a fun day full of lots of different faces. I think it gets boring sometimes just looking at Mommy. At least she gets lots of company at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Her Aunts and Uncles and Cousins are always stopping by to visit. She loves it! Until next week.....
