This morning AJ was working away in the ICU I decided to take a picture of us with my phone to send him to cheer him up….
Brooke seems to share some characteristics with Greek hunter Narkissos in that when she sees her reflection (in this case in the screen of the phone as we take a picture) she is over come with glee. Unlike Narkissos, she happens to think the girl in the reflection is incredibly funny in addition to adorable.
Brooke loves her bath time. Each night now she grabs one of us by the fingers to help her walk up the stairs. Once we make it to the top she makes a beeline straight for the bathtub. After the mandatory cleaning part of the bath, Brooke loves to just sit there and play.

Brooke is helping Laura with the garden this spring and summer. We think it will be a fun experience for her and to learn about where food comes from. She was so excited she walked from the chair she was holding and got her feet in the soil!
Brooke and her good friend Mattie went to the beach with us Thursday. We all had a great time and the babies did great! They played on a blanket, ate snacks, walked in the ocean, and on the pier. Brooke particularly loved running into the surf with me holding her fingers. For obvious safety reasons there are no photos of this. Hopefully AJ can join us in the future and we can get more pictures.
Today Brooke and I went to the Botanical Gardens WOW center with my friends Marcella and Rosie and her friends Mattie and Liam. Everybody (including the moms) had fun slashing in the fountains and cooling off on a hot day.
