first steps

I caught her taking a few steps yesterday November 1st. She is almost nine months.

Brooke is seven months

She loves to pull up these days. Playing with the dog.

Cute dress.

See trouble? She goes straight for the remote.

First she used the laundry basket to pull herself up but now she uses everything. September 5th.

Here Brooke is showing a pretty dress. This was August 29th.

Brooke can do some new thing. She can crawl with her tummy off of the floor (Connor skipped that). She can also pull her self up. I now spend a large portion of my day chasing after her and taking things away that she isn't aloud to have. She is the cutest little monster. She sometimes turns the volume up on the T.V. making us both frantic to turn it back down.

Brooke and the boys

Brooke loves to play with Connor. She is fascinated by him. Here Jason is putting together a Lego set for Connor while Connor plays with hot wheels and Brooke watches intently.

At school

First Connor puts his backpack on the back of his chair and take out his homework. He didn't want me to leave so he is a little cranky. You can see the humidity around here already mady the names come off the desks.

Then Connor has to check in at this attendence board.

Brooke is six months old now

Brooke is six months old and has two teeth. She is doing great. You can see that she is sitting really well now.

Connor is five now.

Connor is in Kindergarten.

Jumping

This video was from July 23rd. Brooke likes to jump.

Connor and his puppies watching TV

This is how Connor decided to watch TV with Daddy last night. He fell asleep on his puppies.

Connor and Brooke strike a pose.

Sitting pretty

Brooke is starting to sit (for short periods).

Wow, a smile for the camera.

Brooke is 5 months now!

Who needs silly toys when I found these cool new toes?

Brooke is five months now. On Thursday she rolled over from her back to her tummy for the first time. She is trying to sit and she clearly wants to get up and go just as soon as her body will let her.

Roll over!

Brooke's "tummy time"

Brooke rolled over for the first time yesterday, but I didn't have my camera handy until this morning (18 Jun 09).

4 Months Old

Brooke is now 4 months old. She weighs 13 pounds and 11 ounces. She is 25 inches long. She is in the 80th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. She is getting to be more social and developing her own personality. Look at those eyes.

She is also sticking her tongue out a lot now. Its so cute.

She is showing off her cute out fit that Daddy got her yesterday. Check out her smile.

Here is that silly tongue again; if you can see it.

Connor and his class at the end of year program. They sang Twinkle, Twinkle, little star. After all of the classes sang their songs the teachers recognized the students who were moving on to Kindergarten with a graduation certificate. They also recognized one volunteer with a gift and certificate. That really caught me off guard since I had forgotten about all the volunteering I had done before Brooke came.

Brooke loves to watch her big brother.

The video was June 8th.
