Happy 8 months

Yesterday was Brooklyn's 8 month birthday, and she decided for her present she was going to start crawling. We aren't sure just what clicked all of a sudden, but it is exciting to watch her go from one side of the room to the other. She is still a little shaky but she gets where she wants to go. And it is just so cute to watch her go. She has already gotten into 3 floor plants and I'm sure they haven't had the last of her.

Life goes too fast!

Well two nights ago my mom and I were baking cookies, and Brooklyn was playing on the floor. I went to use the bathroom and my mom was looking at a magazine, and when I came out of the bathroom Brooklyn had pulled herself up with a chair and was standing!!!! It was so crazy we actually got to see her standing without our help. I am so excited, but at the same time scared now cause there is no turning back and we have a lot of baby proofing to do. These pictures are not of her first time standing, but I was so excited about it I didn't take any pictures when I first saw it happen.

We just love to dress Brooklyn up!!!!

Brooklyn and I got to go to Martha's Vineyard for 2 weeks and visit my family and my best friends. We totally had a blast!!!!! We also saw our cousins Tina, JJ and Audrey.... and Auntie Lela, but for some reason we never got pictures. :(

We can sit up!!!!

I CAUGHT HER IN THE ACT!!!!.........

....I left her for one minute to go get a bib and all the toys were flying out of the basket, and for some reason they never ended up back in the basket.


Brooklyn can sit up, and only falls over every now and then. It is so crazy how quick they pick up on things they want to do. In this picture it looks like the couch could be holding her up, but it is really a few inches away..... just in case she fell over.

CRAZY

This has been a crazy month! Brooklyn is rolling all over the place getting stuck under the couch and pushing Riley off of his bed. She is a total steam roller, it is getting hard to put diapers on her she just wants to go. Brooklyn has also started to eat rice cereal and totally loves it, we didn't even get the nasty face that I thought we would get..... we got the happy "I want more" face. The only problem is I can't get it in her mouth fast enough, and thats when she get a little cranky. She is trying so hard to sit up by herself, and she can do it for a little while until she kind of spazes out and falls over. On the other hand BJ and I will now be in scouts we will be the Bear den leaders, I have no clue what to expect......... Boys that's all I know. Well..... I know there is more that happened this month but I can not think of them..... so enjoy our latest pictures.
