Grammy Visits & Gives Brooke a Bath

Grammy is visiting this week and spending some quality time with Brooke, Laura and AJ.  Today she gave Brooke a bath and experienced Brooke’s ability to splash the water.

New Carseat

Brooke has always been our strong girl and now our strong girl has a new big girl car seat. Her new convertible car seat lets her sit up more and gives her more room to grow. Which she loves to do!

Happy Halloween – October 31, 2012

Today was Brooke’s first Halloween.  In lieu of trick or treating Brooke stayed home with Mom and Dad to help pass out candy.  We decided since Brooke went through all the work to Lobby for Ladybugs in DC, it was fitting that she should dress up as one for Halloween.  We also carved a pumpkin, with a great big smile like Brooke (with one and a half teeth now).

Brooke’s First Tooth!

Brooke has very very fussy since her 5 month birthday (though you could not tell by this cute face) and now we know why! Brooke has her first tooth! It broke the gumline a few days ago but now you can see it in a picture (below). She is very uncomfortable..so she is getting tylenol, lots of extra love and attention, all the teething toys her heart desires and then some, and extra nursing sessions so hopefully her discomfort won’t last long.
