Lovin the Park!

Now that the weather has been a little bit warmer, Brooklyn and I love to go to the park. It has been so fun pushing her in the swing. She screams at the top of her lungs and gets so excited! She also loves staring at all the other kids at the park. I think she gets tired of seeing my face day and night so when there is somebody new, she loves it! I realized that I am in a new phase of my life as I am now a park mom meeting other park moms... I love it!

Rice Cereal

Brooklyn has been given the green light to eat solid foods, so we started off with a little rice cereal. At first she was curious...but then she decided she wasnt having it!

I forgot to get her a mini spoon so maybe that had something to do with it, but we will try again soon.

And just because she is adorable....

Brooklyn loves to scream when she is really happy... and she is really loud!

4 Months!

Brooklyn turned 4 months old on Saturday and is growing so fast that she can wear some more of her really cute outfits. Thanks Aunt Jen for such an adorable dress! Brooklyn's favorite trick the past few weeks is rolling on to her stomach. We just have to get her to roll back because she screams when she gets stuck on her tummy! This can be scary when she rolls over in her crib at night, but she makes sure to let us know that she is unhappy.

We Love Our Family!

Kerstin and Ryan came to visit with their boys this past weekend and we had sooooo much fun! We enjoyed spending time with them and letting the cousins play together. Of course we had to take tons of pictures, so here is just a sample.

I think more water ended up on the floor than on their bodies, but they sure had fun! Midway, Ice Castles!

Sunday Best!

We wished we lived closer to each other so we could play all the time!

3 Months!

It's hard to believe I have been a mommy for three months. At times it feels like we have had Brooklyn in our life forever, other times it seems like she was just born and is getting so big already! Some of her cool new tricks include:

Standing up

Rolling to her side

Sitting in her bumbo

Playing on her mat for 30 mins at a time (lifesaver for mommy)

Getting on a schedule- somewhat

Smiling all the time- waking up happy!

Holding on to her ball

Growing hair- it keeps getting longer and longer every day

Now we just have to work on her sleeping at night time! Occasionally she will go for a five hour stretch but we are usually up about four times a night. Sometimes I can take naps when she does, but most of the time I like to get things done around the house, blog and take a shower :)

We love our life, and our beautiful daughter. I might be a little biased, but I think she is the cutest girl in the world!

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!
