Good Morning!

Even if she doesn't sleep well at night, Brooklyn is always happy and playful in the morning. Now if only her parents woke up that way...

Brooklyn's Favorite Past Time

She will play in the bath forever! She loves it!

Until its time to get out... then she cries!

25!

Hello.... My name is Brooklyn... and my hair is AWESOME!!!!!!!


Oh yeah, my mom had a birthday. She is kind of old now! Daddy and I took her to dinner, gave her some really cool presents, made her a cheesecake and made her feel special all day. She loved it!

Christmas 2010

Sadly, we didnt get a family picture by the tree, but here are a couple pictures bright and early christmas morning!

Proud daddy! The kids waiting to go downstairs to see what santa brought!

We didnt buy anything for Brooklyn... are we bad parents? She is too little to know and nana and poppa took care of her big time. Plus she got presents from her GG (great grandma) and Aunt Kerstin! We thought that worked just fine!

Brooklyn's First Trip to the Beach

Over Christmas break we were able to go to the beach! I loved sticking my feet through the sand and watching Brooklyn stick her feet in the sand for the first time! At first she wasnt quite sure about it and was a little fussy. I like to think she warmed up to the idea and to the beautiful surroundings!

Do All Mom's Cry?

Brooklyn got her two month shots last week, and I think she handled it better than I did. She screamed, but it only made my tears come. I couldn't even look at the nurse afterward because my eyes would give me away. (as if she couldn't tell I was crying :) If she was older I could give her a treat afterward and tell her she did such a great job, but I couldnt give her anything! Just lots of hugs and kisses and I'm sorrys. Brooklyn was a little fussy for the next day, but is doing great now!

Brooklyn's Blessing

Brooklyn was blessed the day after Christmas by her dad. He gave a wonderful blessing and we were able to share the day with 39 other members of our family. Matthew's parents and sister and her husband were able to be there, as well as my parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and future cousins! Afterward we all went back to my parents house to eat and enjoy each other's company. Thanks to my mom and dad for hosting so many people at their house and for such a wonderful day!

(More pictures to come of the holidays soon!)

28!!!

My wonderful, amazing, talented, hard-working, loving, funny, husband turned 28 yesterday! Unfortunately he had to work, but after work we went to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate! Then we came home to open presents and watch Tommy Boy! As many of you know Matthew is not a fan of sweets, so sad to say, we had no birthday cake, but it was still fun to celebrate this amazing husband and father! We love him sooooooooooooo much!!!!!

A Present for Brooklyn (Shhh…nobody tell her :)

In an effort to provide Brooklyn with a one of a kind Christmas present, and to help her become aquainted with what you look like, we request that family and friends send a photo of yourself. That way she can become familiar with your beautiful faces!

Preferably send the largest black and white photo files you have (babies see contrast a lot better than color) so we can print them and put them in an album for her. If you dont have black and white photos, just send what you have and I can convert it myself. You can send the pictures to matthewrbos@gmail.com.

Thank you in advance for sending us a picture of your gorgeous self!

4 Weeks!

Brooklyn is 4 weeks old today and I can't believe it. The time flew by (well, except when she just wanted to be awake in the middle of the night!) It has been so much fun being a mom. I guess I didn't really know what to expect, but the thing that amazes me the most is the amount of love that I have for her. It continues to grow every day and I find myself just staring at her all the time. She is so precious and has brought so much joy into my life. I find I dont always get to take a shower every day and sometimes I am in my pajamas for two days straight, but when I see her cute smile it makes my heart melt and everything else I thought mattered, just kind of fades away. I feel so blessed to be a mom and share the amazing responsibility of being a parent with such a fun loving, energetic, and thoughtful husband and dad!
