Brooklyn is 11 months!

 

* STILL. NO. TEETH! I met a lady at work the other day and she had mentioned that all three of her kids didn't get their teeth until after their first birthday. That made me feel a little better. 

* She will not hold still for a diaper change. 

* She is trying more and more foods each day. If she doesn't like something she will take it off her tray and throw it on the ground. 

* She walks along everything but still is too scared to venture on by herself. 

* She will pat your back to get your attention. 

* She had her first sleepover with Penelope.

* She loves to climb up the stairs. 

* She watches Glee with Aunt Ashley.

* She will hold a book and look at it on her own for a little bit.

* She screams when she doesn't get her way.

* She can brush her own hair.

* She tries to dress herself.

* And she gives the best kisses!!

We have our living room blocked off because she is everywhere! She tries and tries so hard to get to the stairs so she can climb them. When she is not successful she gets upset and cries. She is growing so fast and learning more and more each day. She has the cutest personality, and the most beautiful (gummy) smile! :)

Next week my good friend Reyanna is coming up to St. George to take her first year pictures. I am so excited! My family and Reyanna all came together and got the package for my birthday! I of course loved it.

Brooklyn is 10 months!

* SHE STILL HAS NO TEETH!

* She has started crawling, and she is all over the place. The baby gates are up.

* She can pull herself up all the time.

* Since she started crawling, she entertains herself and keeps busy.

* Can say "mama"!

* She has the cutest babble.

* She has enough hair to hold a little clip.

* Loves reading books.

* Says "baba".

 * She is eating less and less baby food everyday. She loves bananas.

* She takes 2 naps a day.

* She weighs 19 pounds.

It has been so fun watching her in the last month develop and grow. She is becoming independent in her own way. This is such a fun and amazing journey so far. She is perfect to me in every way.

Brooklyn is 9 months!

(I love her rosy cheeks)

 I am so behind on this post.

We still don't have teeth. I see her bottom gums are white where those first two teeth are supposed to be and I think they will be here soon. 

She gets around by scooting, twisting and turning. Still no crawling.

She eats three meals a day!

She is trying more new food every day.

She can look through the pictures on my phone by swiping her cute little finger back and forth.

She sleeps through the night.

She loves music and loves to dance.

She puts her hands above her head when we say "big girl".

She loves knocking on doors.

She officially throws fits when she doesn't get what she wants.!!

She gets excited to see you when she hasn't seen you for a while.

She gets excited to hear the door bell ring.

If she doesn't have clothes on she will take her diaper off herself.

When you say "where's Brooklyn"? she screams to get your attention.

Her hairs is just getting thick enough where a little hair clip.

If I say "ouch Brooklyn" she pulls on my hair.

She is such a doll and getting smarter and cuter everyday. She will be one in just three months. Time does fly and I love every minute with her!

This monthly photo shoots are getting a little harder. As you an see, she just wants to grab the camera out of my hand.

4th of July

Well my pictures uploaded backwards so we are going to remember the 4th of July from night to day. :) During that day it wasn't too hot and cloudy which made for good weather, but when it was time to find a spot and watch the fireworks it went all the way down to 85 degrees with a breeze. It was perfect!! It was a nice way to end this day.

Once we found our spot we just hung out in the grass and waited for the sun to go down.

 Uncle Bubba put Brooklyn's head band back on for her. ^

And everyone just enjoyed the beautiful weather.

 Right after dinner the kids had a red, white and blue treat. Yummy!

 The hostess gladly passed them out.

 After the girls were done swimming. They decided to dry off and play some cars together. They are SO cute!!

 Brooklyn loves to swim and spend time outside with her cousins, so this was a perfect day!

 Mandy and I got these cute lace shorts off groopdealz! I decided to get Brooklyn red and saved them just for this day. They turned out so cute.

All in all I think Brooklyn had a great first Independence Day!

Brooklyn is 8 months!

(No smiles for this month)

* We still don't have any teeth.

* She is bathing in the big girl bath tub now, no more baby bath.

* She has discovered how to open a wipe container and she loves just taking them out, she gets the biggest smile on her face when she finally figures it out. It breaks my heart to tell her it's a "no-no".

* She has learned how to drink out of a straw.

* She got a new walker and is getting use to it. She doesn't seem to understand and just goes backwards.

* She is getting more and more hair. We need to comb it now after every bath.

* She is talking like crazy, but not words we understand yet.

* She hasn't started crawling yet, she gets on all fours and just rocks back and forth.

* When she hears music she bounces like she is dancing.

* If something has been taken away from her she knows to cry to try to get it back.

What a difference......

....8 months make!

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

I LOVE Groop Dealz (thanks to Mandy)! I have gotten Brooklyn so many cute clothes on this website. I would love to win this camera as well. Wish me luck!!
