So Many Changes!



So my baby girl is growing up faster and faster all the time. Let's see...since the last blog, Brooklin has gotten two bottom teeth, is sitting herself up, and is starting to crawl! She is in the very early stages of the crawling thing, but did move a bit today. She is very mobile for not being able to really crawl yet. If she wants something, she will get it! She's a determined and STUBBORN little girl! We went with Brandon, Mason, Kai, Granny, Aunt Amanda, Uncle John, Ava, Aiden, and Addison to Garwoods a couple weeks ago. We had a really nice time. Brooklin got her first pumpkin. All the kids enjoyed themselves...I think the big kids did too:). Last week, my parents and I took Brooklin to Guse's Cornmaze and took some pictures there. We didn't stay too long though, because Granny had gotten us tickets to go and see a Globe-trotter-like basketball game at LPHS. We had a good time there too. We did have to take a trip to the ER last week... She was coughing so bad she started choking and then kept choking...but they gave her a steroid and we came home. She is still battling the cold, but I think that she is working on getting a top tooth. Brandon has been doing some remodeling at the house too...and I think the dust isn't helping...you should see how great it looks though! He's been working hard, and it's amazing how much different it makes it look!!! As far as food is concerned, forget what I said about not liking chicken...we are back to eating everything without a problem! She's such a good girl! Today she is officially 7 months old. I think this past month has went faster than all the others...she has accomplished quite a lot of milestones! She's still a happy little girl and full of personality. Still so blessed to have her in our lives! Have some Halloween costumes picked out for her...it's between a duck or Tinkerbell. Guess we will see what she's feeling on that day:). Her brothers are going to both be Darth Vadar...or Dark Vadar as Mason likes to call it... and Dark Badar as Kai would say:). I am looking forward to Trick or Treating...Hopefully I'll have some neat pics for ya!

6 Months






Sorry it has been so long since I last updated this blog...we've been busy and I've been lazy when we were actually at home. Brooklin just turned 6 months old on Friday. At her doctor's appointment, she was 17 lbs 11 oz, and 28 3/4 inches long. She has been doing great with her food, and is finally able to move up to Gerber 2nd foods! She tried Chicken and Vegetables last night for dinner...and she hated it. It's the first thing she hasn't liked...I wonder if it is because she's never tasted that before...not even in my belly...hmmm... Well, she only had a few bites and then threw it all up. Poor baby. We are going to try it again tonight though. How sad for her! Besides the more recent things....she has been to a football game, volleyball game, and her first Mill Pond Fest. She is now sitting up all by herself, and hates laying down. She's still nosey and stubborn...and still smiley. She's been working on a bottom tooth for a week now. Not too crabby about it, but I can tell it has been bothering her. She has quite a personality...blowing bubbles and growling all the time! She's quite a talker too (well, she babbles all the time...her talking). She's very active and wants to get everything. She catches on quickly to things that her toys do. I think she is a little smarty! Anyway, we are excited for Halloween next month...not sure what she will be yet, but it will be fun taking her out. I'm anxious to see how she reacts to all the costumes...should be interesting!
