Brooke cannot yet pull up but now can stand without being held when next to a piece of furniture. Here she definitely has a ‘you caught me mom…being cute!’ look.

A lovely new tradition
When I was pregnant with Brooke at my baby shower in Tucson my mother gave me two dresses in a bag. The first thing I saw upon opening the bag was a picture of me wearing one dress at 7 months old. The two dresses were hand crocheted by her mother, my grandmother, for me. Now Brooke gets to wear these beautiful dresses at 7 months old and I am saving the dresses and the pictures. If in the future there is a girl grand-baby it would be wonderful to see her wear these as well. Thank you again Mom for the memory and for inspiring me to start this new tradition.
Double cuteness
Now that Brooke can sit up she can have longer periods of mirror time. Here’s her having fun this morning.
“Hi Mom.”
Just monkeying around…
Brooke is a pro at sitting now and will do so for several minutes (10-15) playing independently with toys without falling over. She loves her new skill. Here she is having fun with Buttons in her cute holiday outfit.
Babbling Brooke
Brooke has always been a chatty girl but now she says ‘gaga’, ‘baba’, and ‘MAMA’! Hopefully ‘dada’ is right around the corner as AJ will have more time to spend with her in December. Yea family time!
