Wow! We can’t believe how fast our baby is growing up!! Time is flying faster than ever!! She’s learning and growing so quickly!
Brookie’s favorite foods are still pears (of course). She has now moved on to ALL possible types of baby food fruit and veggies – and yes, even that disgusting baby food meat…). She really likes sweet potatoes and carrots and all types of orange food (unfortunately for my laundry). She will eat green beans, but shows her disapproval by making really scrunched up faces while she does it. She eats Cheerios and puffs, cheese cubes, bread and sometimes small chunks of soft fruit all by herself. She’s getting really good at picking up her food and getting it into her mouth. Last week she ate pizza, french fries and steak! I don’t think she’ll go for baby food much longer.... :)
Brookie’s growing really fast too. She’s wearing mostly 12 month clothes, but still fits into her 6 month onesies. Her old pants are now capris, but that’s ok, ‘cause it fits the California weather.
Brookie has been crawling for a couple months, but it’s just been this month that she decided tp switch from backwards to forwards. She now crawls everywhere and can get into all sorts of things. If she sees something she wants she just goes for it. She’s not content to just sit around anymore! She also took her first step all by herself this month! She will walk forward and backward holding onto your fingers, but a couple weeks ago she let go of my hands completely and took a step all by herself to grab onto the shopping cart. She seemed so proud of herself! We were proud of her too! She also pushed a wipey box (the big Costco one) all across the living room while walking by herself. Pretty awesome!
Brooklny loves her binki and she still deals with being swaddled and rocked to sleep. She can sleep almost anywhere though, which is nice. Ty and I finally broke down and let her cry a few nights to get her to sleep through the night. We’ve been getting up with her at the smallest sound one or two times a night so she wouldn't wake Coleman up (2 kids up at the same time in the night is insane!). These two tired parents finally did the unthinkable… It only took her a couple nights though to figure out that nights are for sleeping and we will still be there to love her in the morning. The first couple days she was a little clingy and cried quite a bit during the nights, but now, she’s like an old pro. She still sometimes gets up at night, but she can go back to sleep herself. She’s usually up to practice pulling up on her crib bars to stand or wiggling out of her blankets. Other than that, she pretty much sleeps all night. We get her up between 6:30 and 8 when she and Coleman wake up. They do a great job together in their room. Too bad we haven’t perfected nap time yet…
Brooklyn loves to play. She can pretty much entertain herself. She searches for her favorite toys or finds new things (not always toys) to entertain herself all day. She likes to play with Dad and Mom and Coleman too, but is pretty content to explore her world. Her favorite toys are: shaker eggs, a water bottle with marbles in it, her small purple doll, any of the musical instruments we have in our box, her gumball machine, the shape sorter shapes, Grandma’s bell blocks, Coleman’s Buzz Lightyear action figure, and anything Coleman has or she has seen him use. She also likes to play with the straps on her high chair and her binki/binki holder. She’s especially curious about what’s under the chairs. She frequently crawls under her high chair and Coleman’s. Sometimes she lays on her back looking up at the bottom of those facinating chairs... Funny kiddo!
Our favorite part about Brooklyn this month is how happy she is and how she can always bring a smile to all our faces! We all love making her smile and giggle. She has an adorable laugh and does a funny panting thing when she gets really excited. Every time someone smiles at her she smiles back. She practically explodes when she sees her daddy and brother!
We love you so much, Brookie! Thanks for making our lives so happy!
