Enjoying the weather

Yesterday was 70-75 degrees so Brooklyn and I took a stroll around the neighborhood to enjoy the beautiful weather. I LoVe this time of year here in AZ, now come summer I may be singing a different tune...

Here is a picture of Brooklyn when we got home, she either had too much fun or the stroll was so relaxing.

8 Months

On Tuesday Feb 16th Brooklyn turned 8 months. I know I say this every time, but time has gone by way too fast.

On Tuesday we went to Gymboree Play and Learn with our friends Lesley & Ethan. Brooklyn had a great time and was Miss Social Butterfly with all the other babies there. That day they did singing, tactile stimulation (using sandpaper & feathers) and of course bubble time. I wish it weren't so expensive so we could go every week, but $65/month is a little much. Lesley and I decided we need to get our music therapist at work, Becky, to start a little program on the weekends and we meet at a park and have our own "Gymboree Play and Learn." Even when my sister found out how much it cost she said she would move to AZ and start her own little place and charge half price. :o)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today was Brooklyn's first Valentine's Day!

Here she is with her first Valentine - her daddy of course!

"I can stand!"

Brooklyn is getting to be such a big girl!!! She is now pulling up to stand. She is just too cute when she does it too! She tries with all her might and once she is up she is so excited. She started doing this on Feb. 2nd and now there is nothing stopping her. For a long time all she has wanted to to was stand and now she can do it all by herself. The other day Cory placed his plate of pizza on the couch and walked away, Brooklyn went from a seated position to crawling as fast as she could toward the couch and pulled herself up to try and grab it, Cory came back too soon for her to actually grab it. It was the funniest thing ever.
