Beautiful BrookeBrooke is now our little extrovert. She has developed the cutest little personality ever! She loves to smile and wave (D is convinced that she knows the word wave) and clap and giggle to everybody. She makes this little hehehehe noise that is so very funny.She is just so happy and such a little flirt.
Here she is under the furniture reading her book and making her hehehehe noise!
We are currently calling her our little Billy Goat cause the girl eats EVERYTHING. Not one of our books is in tact...they all have little (or some not so little) bite marks (and I mean chunks that she has actually eaten off) from Brooke. She currently has 8 teeth (7 fully out and one that is about half out) but it seems like more could be coming soon. So far she has liked all the foods that she has tried...I can't wait to see her reaction to her birthday cake!
Brooke is sampling some items from around the playroom (don't you love the little thong skirt!)
We are still working on her crawling. She belly crawls pretty well, but still gets very frustrated....especially when she gets to where she is going (which most frequently is my lap) and can't quite get back up to sitting or standing. The girl loves to stand! She can on occasion pull herself up to standing but since she tries to do it in one motion (skipping the on the knees part) frequently she doesn't quite make it. But once placed there she is good to go for quite some time. She will take a few (like 2 or 3) steps when I hold her up.
Brooke loves to stand at her little hippo!
The girls have started to "play" together more. They like to hold hands while sitting in their high chairs and they totally get each other cracked up. They frequently have "conversations" with each other (these basically consist of back and forth, extremely loud squeals!)Finally, Brooke is our little cuddle bunny. She loves to be held....she also loves to snuggle. And thus a bad habit has been formed. Each morning (ranging from 5:30 - 7:00) Brooke begins to scream hysterically. There is no way to comfort her (and clearly I am not ready to start the day) so in what I am sure is a mistake, we have been letting her come into our bed with us. As soon as she gets in bed, she snuggles up and immediately falls asleep. All is right with the world and she will sleep until 8:30 (more my starting time!). It really is just so sweet to cuddle with her...so please don't judge us!

She is adorable. People really should not judge you. We let Aidan come to our bed in the morning when he needs to. We even co-slept for a long time. For some reason, so many people are against it or are embarrassed to admit they do this. I read a TON of books while pregnant about it and all (but a few) of them were positive about it. We, as adults, like to fall asleep with the person that we love, why shouldn't your baby have the same pleasure? What is better than waking up next to the person you love the most in the whole world (sorry, D, but that person is momma for now!). :) Your girls are lucky to have such a great mommy!
