SANTA!!!

Brooke enjoyed seeing Santa for the First time... It was a lot of fun.

Thanksgiving

Jason and I have so much to be thankful for. Brooke is the love of our lives. I was pregnant this time last year and now we have a happy healthy daughter. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Halloween 2008

6 month photoshoot

Carrots

Brooke liked carrots so much she was jumping all around she ended up with them all over her. From her head to her toes. (She tried to eat her feet b/c I was not going fast enough.) It was just to cute and funny. I just let her go at it.

This is her before picture.

Look how Clean!

After.... Not So Clean

1st Solids Peas

Not to sure about this... Daddy why did you pick PEAS!!!

6 month Check up

We went in to the dr today and had a good apointment. Brooke is now 17lbs, 1oz and 25 1/2 inches long. She is doing so good. She took her shots like a champ. She also got the okay to start solid foods. ;-) So we came home and she had Peas for dinner. She had some pretty funny faces, but we would have to say over all we think she liked them. She is now playing and is very happy. There will be pictures to come with the peas all over her face soon I promise. Just keep an eye out.

Pumpkin Patch

We took Brooke to the Pumpking Patch and got some pictures today. We had a blast. She is growing so fast. She is able to sit on her own and this week she was against Jason leg and she sat up twice. She can almost sit up from laying down on the ground. Here are the pictures from today.

I know that Brooke is not looking at the camera, but is last one is my Fav.

Fun at the Park

So Brooke went to the park to play with her friend Katie from church. They had such a great time. Brooke is 2 weeks older than Katie. They had such a great time swinging and just holding each others hands. I just know that they are going to be such great friends.

5 Months Old Today

It's been a while... Today Brooke is 5 months old and I just can't believe it sometimes. I look at her and feel so blessed everyday and it feels just like yesterday that I held her for the first time. She is doing so much. She of course is "talking" or "cooing" all the time. She loves her feet and to suck on her toes. I can't lay her down without her rolling from one side of the living room to the other. I really need to get on the ball with the baby proofing. We can put her on her stomach and she will scoot across the floor towards us. This started one night when Jason laid her on the end of the bed and she move all the way to me at the top of the bed. I could not believe my eyes. Cindy got her a walker and it is so funny to watch her in it. She can only go backwards, but she loves it.

At her "4 month" apt which was at 4 1/2 months she was 24.5 inches long and 14lbs 9 oz. She is in the 50% for both her height and weight. She is doing great.

We made it through Hurricane Ike just fine. Brooke did not even notice. She sleep through the whole thing. Even the big tree branch hitting our back porch at 3:30am, which woke us up. We were lucky that besides that and our fence falling down there we had no other damage. We did not have any power for 11days here at the house, so we went to my dads.

Here are some pictures from today there will be more to come.

HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY!!!

First week of school is over...

SO the students had there first week back at school and man was it a long week. The whole week all I could think of was being home with Brooke. I thought the week was never going to end. Now that it has I am looking forward to the long weekend. Thats right I already get a three day weekend and to top it off it is my birthday tomorrow. Jason has something planned, so I can't wait. Also sunday we have Brooke Decdication. It is going to be a great weekend. I will post pictures soon.

4 months old on August 25th

4 months old

Wow how time flies. It seems like yestertday I was bringing her home. She is really doing well. She is now rolling both ways and loves to laugh. It has been a tough week for me. I really miss her during the day. I have taken some new pictures and I will post them soon.

1st day at work

So today is my first day back at work and as much as I love my job, I am really missing Brooke. It is so hard not seeing her smile and hear her laugh all day. Heck I would love to even hear her cry right now. It is lunch so just after 12pm and I am counting down the hrs till I get to see her. I think what makes this so hard is that she is still sleeping when I leave the house and I don't get to see her precious smile or hold her give her a kiss before I go. I am just praying that her first day at daycare is going ok.

It's been a while

I know I have not updated in a while. Things have been really great. Yesterday Brooke rolled from her back to her stomach. She did this at three weeks but had not done it since. So now our little one is rolling both ways. I can't believe how much she has grown. I really have mixed feelings right now. I have to go back to work on Monday which means that Brooke will have to go to daycare. We have been really lucky to find an in-home daycare for her and until Oct. she will be the only child there. I know she will get a lot of attention, but I am just torn apart, because I want to be the one giving her all the attention. Right now I can't even think how I am going to be apart from her all day. It really breaks my heart to know that I won't be the one playing with her and listening to her laugh all day. I know that she will be fine, but as her mom I just don't want to miss a minute of her life. Right now I just pray that God will give me the strength that I need to get through each day. One day at a time.You Just Got To Love That SMILE!!!

I am just going to cherish every moment tomorrow as I know that monday will be hard.
