Grreat America!

On the pier in San Francisco!
The silver man in San Francisco. This guy hangs out along the pier and makes a living on tips for taking his picture. It is insane.

Me and Foxy Roxy!

Brooklyn ready for the next ride!

Michelle, Angel and Bailee just getting the day started!

This past weekend we went up to Santa Clara and went to Great America. We had so much fun with our friends. Bailee had a blast. That girl is fearless. Brooklyn was such a little trooper. All the kids were good. The adults crashed at 8:30pm and the kids stayed up causing mayhem I am sure. Then on Sunday we went to San Francisco and went down to the pier. We had great weekend.

Here Rabbit Rabbit!

I am telling you when you are home alone without your better half to take of things like this you have not idea what to do. A couple of days ago my little cat Zoee go outside on somehow managed to drag in a poor defenseless bunny. I was upstairs doing laundry when I was on my way to my bedroom when I heard Zoee and looked down at her and saw that she had something in her mouth. So I turned to flip the light on when I saw a rabbit upstairs on my landing. I freaked out. I yell for Bailee to run next door and get the neighbor. Meanwhile the little bunny is trying to escape from Zoee. The little bunny manages to get down the stairs and into a corner. Well my neighbor wasn't home so I had to lock Zoee in the laundry room. I called animal control and they said that they would be out. Well THREE hours later still no animal control, but Nick showed up and put the bunny outside. I just hope that it survived.

Bailee has invaded and Brooklyn's Silliness

Brooklyn's daddy seems to think if she see a golf club she will be in text Tiger. As you can see she was very excited about the golf club. Watch out Paula Cramer.

Bailee giving Brooklyn a bath. I have a garden tub and Bailee is too little to reach over the side so she had to jump on in on the fun.

Brooklyn is so excited that she can stand up in her crib all by herself. I should add that on Friday July 17 she started crawling on her knees like a big girl. She is totally cute when she does it. She will take four crawls and then give up and do the army crawl. She is such a little love bug. I just love to squeeze her.

Bailee and her cousin Brooklyn. She is supposed to be going to sleep, but Brooklyn had other plans. She wanted to stand up and shout. She just stuck her tongue out and started licking her crib.

Bailee and her "Reno Friend" Angel outside the mall with the big FISH in the background.

There is so much more fun in store for Bailee and her cousin Brooklyn. I will keep you posted.

Love ya!

7 Months of Brooklyn's Love

Brooklyn's new favorite thing to do is make her "fishy kissy face"!

My sweet little girl! She refused to smile.

The mommy loves her baby girl!

4th of July Fun!

Brooklyn and I started our July 4th out at the local water park. We had such a fun time. It took Brooklyn a little while to get used to the water. The water was pretty cold to start out the day with. I however got pretty sunburned on my back by the end of the day.

Brooklyn in her little swimsuit and her sunglasses.

Happy little girl!

Brooklyn and her mommy.

Happy little girl at home with her little festive outfit.

By 7:00pm Brooklyn was done. She was ready for bed.

I hope everyone had a great Independence Day!

Love ya!

Our Visit to Fairfield!

Brooklyn just playing like a good little girl.

Look at that face. Love it!

Over the past weekend Brooklyn and I went over to California to see some of our family. We had such a fun time and can't wait to go back again in August.

Brooklyn and her first tortilla. Don't worry she didn't eat it. My auntie wouldn't let her.

Brooklyn's first carousel ride at the mall. She really enjoyed it.

Here is Brooklyn with cousin Nicole, Auntie Lupe and cousin Becky.

Brooklyn can't wait to see Nicole again. On Saturday Nicole had to leave for work and Brooklyn cried. It was so sad. Later on we took Brooklyn to see Nicole at work. Nicole was so surprised.

Brooklyn also loved all the attention that Auntie gave her. Sitting next to her in the back of the truck on the way to the mall. Brooklyn loved meeting her family.

Brooklyn with cousin Becky and Rigo. She really loved Rigo and Becky. She got some much extra love.

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?)
