Brooke still loves going biking with Mommy. In fact, this Wednesday when the high was 40 degrees she insisted on going on a 30 minute bike ride at sunset. Even though her nose was super snotty from the cold every time I circled the house (which was often) she strongly said ‘No!’ and we did another lap of the neighborhood until we had to stop because it was dark. It was such a funny outing that I had to stop and take some pictures of us. Brooke as you can see was loving it.
Everyone knows how much Brooke loves her baby. She needed to take baby with her to a Christmas party we went to at a friends house this weekend. To prevent baby from getting left behind I put her in my purse when Brooke gave her up to eat some food. Brooke was playing with her friend Olivia and the other babies and then found this stroller just for dolls and started pushing it around empty. When I saw how cute she was I gave her back her baby to put in the stroller. She spent an hour pushing baby in the circle that was Melissa’s kitchen/entry/dinning room/living room. Everyone at the party thought it was a hoot! Needless to say Mom and Dad got her one for Christmas.
Cheese!
Checking to make sure baby is OK!
Here are some pictures of Brooke’s week. She has had a lot of fun as usual and here are some of the pictures we snapped with our phones.
Today at the doctor Brooke got measured and she weighs 31lbs and is 35.6 inches tall. She is also passing all the developmental markers with flying colors on top of being an early potty trainer. She has successfully pees in the potty serval times a day, and routinely holds her bladder up to three hours and has dry diapers during the day. Good job Brooke!! Dr. Mink says everything is looking great!
Brooke’s language skills are ever evolving. The day I picked Oma up at the airport Brooke said ‘Oma’ right before I picked up my Mom. Brooke had said ‘Opa’ for some time now, saying it during skype. All week long it was ‘Oma’ and the last three days I would get Brooke ready she’d ask for Oma and we’d go downstairs and she’d be so excited to see her. Today I had to explain Oma is at home, when she asked ‘Oma, Oma, Oma?’
