6 Months Already

This post is a little late but Brooklyn Turned 6 months on the 12th, wow the past 6 months have gone by so fast. It is so sad and so fun at the same time to see my little girl grow up so fast. I always look forward to each milestone. I try to enjoy each moment with this little one, even the moments when she throws fits cause she doesnt get what she wants. She is so spoiled and she knows it, I really have to do something about this before she gets older and its to late. Here are a few pictures cause I know you just can't get enough of this face.

I had just gotten home from a long day of sewing table clothes for my sister in law Julie's baby shower that I am putting together and I had asked John if he could feed Brooklyn her dinner, well this is what you get when you ask someone with no experience....

she didn't mind the mess.

This next one is her first Valentines outfit.

This one was from last Sunday right before church. I ended up switching her bow cause I didn't really like the flower instead I put a black bow with white polk a dots to match the buttons. But this is still cute.

Some of the tricks Brooklyn can do:

Roll from her tummy on to her back. (she can almost go from back to tummy)

She has found her toes and loves to grab on to them or even put them in her mouth.

She is starting to be a really good eater and is finally putting on some lbs. she still is small only wheighing 15lbs. Some of her favorite food are: Oatmeal and fruit for breakfast.( her favorite is oatmeal with pears and cinnamon) and for dinner she loves sweet potatoe and turkey. Her favorite snacks are cheese puffs from the baby isle and loves a peice of chocolate chip cookies every now and then.

Brooklyn loves her toys and has really good hand and eye coordination. She will grab with one hand switch it to the next and all toys go in the mouth.

She can almost sit by herself but we are still working on it.

Here is a video of Brooklyn playing in her jumper she is just figuring out she can bounce in it.( I turned the camers to the side at one point so sorry you will have to turn your head to wacth it.)

Best Valentines Ever

I had a really great Valentines weekend. It started on Friday when John came home from work with a bouquet of roses and a card in his hand. He handed me the flowers to put in a vase and the card to put away till Saturday, but I thought he was giving it to me to open. So I spoiled the surprise by opening the card early. Well in side the card was a check in my name for 1000.00 dollars. I decided to get a new kitchen table and a buffet server table. I tried to take pictures of them with my camera but there was a really bad glare so I stole the ones off the furniture website.



After having my dad help us bring the furniture home and help put it together John made a wonderful teriyaki chicken dinner. He is such a great cook and always comes up with new things to try that turn out really good. Thanks John I love you!

Its Never Too Late

To blog about December happenings....

Wow the time sure does go by so quickly I can't believe we are already in February. December was a very very busy month for me. My sister Katie got married on the 12th and my sister Lindsay and I decorated for the reception, it turned out so nice we even had people ask if we can do their daughters weddings, but said "we will never do this again" it was so stress full. Right before Christmas John's sister Cindy was able to come visit from Kentucky and brought down two of her boys with her. It was so good to spend time with her family. We went to Disneyland with them.

Here is Brooklyn asleep at Disney

This next picture is John and Brooklyn right before church. I love having a little girl to dress up and put bows on. I hope she is a girly girl. John always talks about putting her in soccer and softball and I always tell him she is just going to be in dance, then he says we will let her decide when shes older so I hope she is like her mom and doesn't have a desire for them.
This was Brooklyns first time eating a teething biscuit. She absolutely loved it. I had to try something different than just her cereals and baby food she started not to like them.

Moving on to Christmas....

This year I had my family come over on Christmas morning for some home made cinnamon rolls and to open a few gifts. I have found a wonderful recipe for cinnamon rolls they are to die for. They are more like a sticky bun. They are the best I have ever made and tried.

Here is the finished rolls

So So Yummy

Brooklyn and her BIG present.

She was really spoiled this year. Santa already told me that that's not happening next year.

This next picture I really love of Brooklyn.

This was taken outside of my parents while we were waiting for lunch to be ready.

For New Years we were able to spend in Arizona with my sister Nora. I wish I had pictures to post but I am the worst at taking out the camera and snapping some shots. I hope to get better at that. I even carry the camera along with me but never get it out.
