Lets see...Baby Brooklyn is my wonderful daughter. I had her in March of '07! I dont think you ever truely know what love is until you have a child. It has been an amazing experience for me, one that I do not regret. Everything happens for a reason, so she was NO mistake!

UPDATE

I am now back in the states.

Brooklyn is almost 8 months old! She is standing and crawling. She gets into EVERYTHING! Playing in the dog water is one of her favorite things to do. Brooklyn is eating stage 3 foods along with finger foods. I gave her a graham cracker for the first time last night. She loves them!! I decided to do graham cracker because they desolve a lot better than the Gerber Graduate Finger Foods. She chocked on one of those and I had to do the finger sweep on her. It was scary so I will no longer give those to her. Her favorite meat so far is turkey! I am still trying to transition her to a sippy cup. I just cant find one that she likes. I find that the exspensive ones with the no-leak valve are too hard for her to suck on. I am going to try those take & toss ones next. I heard they do leak a little but other than that the reviews are great on those. We will see! For Halloween this year she will be dressed as a black cat! We carved pumpkins this past weekend and did she ever love playing in that mess! I took her to the beach the other day too and they had a baby swing on the play ground. LOVED that swing. I will post pictures of all this too!

Also, she has TWO teeth now! She also says Mama...only when she is upset though. I just cant believe how fast she is growing up!

Thats about all that I can think of!

UPDATE 30 November 2007

Brooklyn and I are both doing VERY well! She now weighs 17lbs. She has gained almost 4 pounds since being back in the States. She is eating more and more BIG people food. She LOVES them! She climbed up all the stairs for the first time about a week ago. She has also taken her FIRST steps on her own. She takes 1 or 2 steps and then falls down, not much, but its a start. Tomorrow she will be 9 months old! I have no clue where all this time goes...my little baby just keeps growing and growing =(

Thats about all I can think of!

Brooklyn is 10 months old as of the first. She has almost mastered walking. She started walking at about 9 months. She says mama, dada(even though hes not here), baba, tries to say cat, dog, and duck and also no. LoL she gets told no no a lot. She knows what she is doing is wrong but she still does and with a HUGE grin on her face. She throws little fits, she has since about 7 months! Cant wait to get to those toddler year! Yea right...hehe. She got her third tooth in right before Christmas time. Instead of getting one of the top middle ones, she got her I tooth first. Weird but not uncommon. She is now getting the other 3 teeth along the top. She has been much more cranky this time around with teething. She is doing very well with the sippy cup. I am hoping to have her on only a sippy cup by her first birthday. We will see how that goes since she doesnt like to drink milk put of a sippy cup. Brooklym absolutly loves other little kids. The only things is that she is a huge bully! She will take whatever the kid has and then when they cry...she laughs! Her big sister used to be the same way...so I guess it runs in the family.

She now has 6 teeth...4 on top and 2 on bottom! She walks everywhere and gets into everything. She thinks its pretty funny to do something shes not supposed to and say "no" while she is doing it. I took her out to play in the snow for the first time yesterday. She loved it. She didnt want to be out there for very long though because she had not had a nap all day. After coming in from playing in the snow she had a warm bottle and passed right out. Thats about all that I can think of for right now! Here are some new pics!......

We moved to North Carolina! The weather is beautiful down here! It was a last minute decision and I upset a lot of people by leaving but I wanted a fresh start in a new place. My new house is beautiful! It is a 2 story 3 bedroom 2 bath. Its huge! I also just got a job here yesterday. LOL I never would have thought I would apply here but I did and I GOT IT! I now am a Hooters Girl!! All I can say is...its GREAT money!

UPDATE

Brooklyn had to get 6 shots in order to go to daycare. We went ahead and did a well baby check up too. She is 18lbs and 30inches tall! She is so skinny but very healthy. She is 60% for height and 5% for weight. Things are going great on my end!
