Growing up




Well this past week I got my hair cut and dyed by Ben and I think it looks great! Our sister in law Lia and her kiddos came out to Utah and we have been having a blast with them. Julia our niece keeps saying about Brooklyn "she is so cute" and "She loves me". It is just so sweet. I will put some pictures of them up when I get some. And our big news this week is Brooklyn turned 3 months on the 24th and at 3 months and 1 day old Brooklyn decided that she is going to start rolling over, and now I can't keep her on her belly. Look out world here comes trouble!!!! It was so exciting but at the same time so sad, our baby is growing up too quickly! I will post a video of it soon so you all can see her and her new tricks. She also grabs her toys and screams and yells at them, to say the least I can never let go of my camera any more. And I must brag a little more Brooklyn has slept from 9pm to at least 5am every night sense see turned 2 months old. Well I will have many pictures and videos to post soon.

Too cute for words

Brooklyn has her own little joke..... she does a poutie face and then smiles. It is the cutest thing, but this is the best shot of it that I can get. She does not really like the camera so she stops all activity when it comes out. But this just cracks me up.

This is what I wake up to every morning

Two Months Old



Brooklyn had her two month appointment on May 26th and she was 21 1/2 inches long and 11.11 lbs. So to say the least she is getting huge. She has been sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night for the past 4 nights. I thought she was the best baby before.... now I know she is the best. We went to church for the first time on Sunday, and it was great no crying or anything. MY Mom and I have been trying to clean up my yard... which is a bigger project than it looks. And BJ has been doing his part too, he chopped all the dead branches out of the trees and put new lattice up on the porch. Finally our yard is starting to look nice. We have also been trying to paint and organize the inside of the house and let me tell you the two don't mix. But it is a fun project to do together. And last but not least We have decided to bless Brooklyn next month, which I'm super excited about.

One Month Already!!!!!!




Well Brooklyn is already one month and one week old. Amazing how quick time flies!!!!! Well we don't need to reminisce there are so many exciting things happening in our lives! First BJ passed his state test for electrical, which means he can take his Journeyman's test this summer. Ronda's sister came out with her family and her best friend Lindsay is visiting on the 6th. But the most has happened with Brooklyn...... she grabs and pulls any and everything she can get her hands on, she blows out a ton of diapers which is always so pleasant to clean up, and she laughs, smiles, and cries a lot more..... she knows what she wants now. And frankly she is just getting huge and it makes me sad!!!! But there is a plus side she is sleeping about 3 hours at a whack at night and 2 during the day, but she is still awake for one hour after each feeding which makes it hard at 3 in the morning when I want to sleep. But we only have to feed her every 3 to 4 hours which is alot nicer than every 2 hours.

Week two and another doctors visit



Well this week has lets say been tiring. Brooklyn has decided she doesn't want to sleep in her crib, she would much rather be in her car seat or in your arms. So to say the least that has been the project this week..... to get her in her crib. Brooklyn is only two weeks old but she definitely has a mind of her own. She is a night owl and we are not getting a ton of sleep. But when she smiles at you in the middle of the night..... when your thinking I just can't do this.... it makes it all worth it. She is awake for about one hour after every feeding so it is fun to play with her instead of just staring at her. Yesterday was her two week check-up and she got her heel pricked for her PKU test, and she let the doctor know that she did not like it. She now weighs 7.3 lbs and is 19.7 inches long, so she is gaining weight and getting chubby, which makes us very happy. BJ and I are stilling comming to the realization that we are parents.... we still saying "wow can you believe that she is ours, and that we are parents". I don't think we will ever get use to that title. But we are so glad to have her in our lives.
