Last week I took Brooke with me hiking a short 1.6mi nature trail at Stumpy Lake while AJ was working. The fun part about hiking with Brooke this time was it was the first time that she has gone hiking with me and could walk on her own. After about a half mile of carrying her on my back I let her down to explore the woods. She was nervous at first but then had fun picking up sticks and actually said the word ‘trees’ though it sounded like ‘teees’.
Friday was Brooke’s 15 month check up with Dr. Mink and she is, as always, off the charts. Her height is 34.4 inches and weight is 27lb 3oz. Whoa!
Oma and Opa came to visit Brooke in August and had lots of fun with her. They went to story time, the park, the beach, blueberry and blackberry picking, the pool, and the botanical gardens. We all had a great time!
At Oak Grove Lake today Brooke decided she was ready to be independent on the playground, climbing all around and going down the slides all on her own.
