Mommy and Me!

I love her soooo much! Brooklyn is so darn cute!

Happy Father's Day Nick!

Brooklyn & her daddy!

What a way to kick off Father's Day! Nick had to work this morning and then when he went to his car after he got off he found out that he had a flat tire. He found a divet tool in the tire. The two prongs at the end broke off in the tire.

Then for Father's Day Brooklyn got her daddy some personalized golf balls. Maybe these will help him win big money on the course. We went out and had a nice dinner at Outback. I had made reservations at Ichiban's, but Nick didn't want to take Brooklyn there. He thought it would be too much for her.

SIX Month Stats!

Brooklyn had her 6th month well check today. I was so proud of her. She got three shots in her little thunder thighs. She didn't really cry at all, just a little whining. Brooklyn still isn't sleeping through the night so Dr. Ishibashi told me to up her ounce intake at night so I will try 5 to 6 ounces tonight. Hopefully she will sleep a little longer tonight. Brooklyn is doing really great with her veggies and fruits. 

*15.1 lbs (50th percentile)

*26 3/4 inches (75th percentile)

* 17 centimeter circumference (75th percentile)

**Dr. Ishibashi was completely amazed at how mobile Brooklyn is. She was crawling ALL over the table doing her thing. She said typically she doesn't see kids crawling until 8 months or so. She was very happy with Brooklyn's progress.

Six Months!

On June 12, 2009 (Yesterday) my little girl turned 6 months old. I say it every month at the same time I can't believe Brooklyn is yet another month older. I feel like moments ago I was in labor and telling my mother to get her hand off of my leg while I was trying to push (I am still sorry I got upset at you mom, but you were annoying me at the time.) or laughing at Nick trying to count down my contractions. The first moment I saw Brooklyn. The utmost greatest moment of my life holding MY daughter for the first time. Time has flown by so so fast. My love for Brooklyn grows and grows with each passing moment. When she looks up at me with those BIG blue eyes or smiles at me because she loves her mommy and is happy to see me. When is laughs at her daddy just because he is funny. I have so many wonderful years ahead of me with my daughter. I look forward to our future watching you grow, crawl, talk, and walk. The first time you say "I love you mommy!" Brooklyn, mommy loves you so much and can't even imagine my life without. It seems so funny that my life before you seems like such a long time ago. You make mommy very happy and gives her so much love with just your smiles, giggles and stares.

We go to the doctor on Wednesday for those dreaded shots and I will post her stats then.

Also, thank you to my family and friends for all the love and support over the past year and a half and getting Brooklyn into the world and helping make her life such a amazing life for Brooklyn. She has so many people in her life that love her. Nick and I are blessed to have the support of friends and family. 

WE love you guys!

Obsession!

Brooklyn has developed this amazing fascination with her little feet. It is totally precious! She loves to put her feet in her mouth or suck on her toes. In a couple of days she will be 6 months old, half a freaking year. I can't even tell you where the time has gone to. I am truly amazed by and completely in love with my daughter. She has just the sweetest disposition and calming sense about her. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. 

I love you my little angel Brooklyn!

 

Uncle Sam here comes Brooklyn!

Brooklyn is doing the ARMY CRAWL!

I am so amazed at how Brooklyn is progressing with the growth process. A couple of nights ago Brooklyn was on the bed and she started to Army Crawl. I couldn't freakin' believe it. My little five and a half month old is army crawling. She is growing up so so fast. She goes all over the place on the floor, in her crib and on our bed. I am sure she will be walking before I know it. I am just waiting for her first word (MAMA).

She sooo hungry she could eat a?

SHOE! Brooklyn is such a sweetheart! I am so amazed by her everyday. She loves to eat her baby food and smile. She smiles all the time. When is wakes up in the morning she just grins from ear to ear. She just makes me melt every time I look at her. I have to admit that I have just recently just started letting her sleep in her own room. I just haven't been ready to let her sleep so far away from me. She is doing fine in her own bed and sleeping better and I have to admit I am too. I just love love love my little Brooklyn.

Sippy Cup! Sippy Cup!

  

 My sweet little Angels newest accomplishment is using her sippy cup. I give it to her with water and juice when we got out for our walks. She is really not that good at it yet, but she is learning. I am so proud! She is such a big BABY girl! 

Brooklyn's First Date (PlayDate)

Thanks to my friend Roxy, Nick and I got some much needed mommy\daddy  time! Roxy asked if she could watch Brooklyn over at her house, so that she could play with Riley. Riley is the son of a friend of mine and Roxy's. Riley is a month and a half older than Brooklyn. He is such a adorable little boy and I just love him. Here are some pictures of their "first date"! 

(And in case you are wondering they are playing with a granola bar! I have no clue?)

CUTIE PATOOTIE!

Just some pictures of Brooklyn over the past few weeks!

I just love her beautiful blue eyes and her amazing smile!

I love her so so much. She is amazing!

FIVE Months!

Brooklyn hit the five month mark yesterday! All I can say is that time is going by way to quickly. She is developing quit the little personality. She loves her feet. She just can't get enough of them. She grabs onto them with her hands. I love to bring them up to her face and "slap" her with her own feet. She just giggles at that. Brooklyn is getting all sorts of baby food. She really hasn't rejected any. She is on formula now. A couple of weeks ago I started noticing a decline in my milk production, then I got my cycle so I started her on formula. She didn't like the first one I tried but I found one she really likes and takes without a problem. I am so proud of her. She still doesn't sleep through the night. She will sleep for about 5 or 6 hours and then wake up for a feeding. She likes to be held still. She will let you know when she is hungry or poopie, but other than that she is really just a happy baby. She has the most sweetest smile I have ever seen. I could just look at her all day long. I am just smitten. When she wakes up in the morning and she smiles at me I just melt. It is the greatest part of my day. I can't wait for her to say mommy or I love you. I am just amazed by my baby girl.

A work in progress! (Part One of Many!!)

Well after two and a half years we are finally starting the renovation on our backyard. We have started laying the sprinkler lines and this morning they have started the frame for laying the foundation of our patio. I am so excited. I can't wait to have a patio, a bbq, and a place to put Brooklyn's little swing set.  

More Tahoe Pictures!

The only picture of me and Brooklyn with her actually looking at the camera.

We had a great time. It was so nice outside. We can't wait until summer.

Brooklyn goes to Tahoe!

Brooklyn and I! She wouldn't look at the camera until after you already took  the picture. Stubborn  little girl!

Brooklyn with her Mimi and Grandpa Jerry.

My sweet sweet little girl.

My very uncooperative daughter. She didn't want to face the camera, but the lake is pretty.

This was Brooklyn's second trip out of the state of Nevada. It was her first trip to California. We got in the car around noon and got home around 6. Brooklyn did so good in the car all day except the last 20 minutes. She had a little mini meltdown. 

And yes her bow does match her pants! 

Brooklyn Eats Peas! Yummy!?

Brooklyn all set up ready for her big dinner! Peas! I hate peas and Nick loves them so who knows how Brooklyn will react.

Look at that Face! It cracks me up! Undecided still about the peas!

She is playing with the idea of actually swallowing them!

No tears yet! Peas are a success.

Messy! Messy!

A couple more days of peas and we will try something else. Maybe sweet potatoes!
