7 Months Old!

Hard to believe in 5 months our little baby will be one year old! I remember when I used to have to take 100 pictures to get 5 that I liked. Now, I take 10 pictures and love them all! Brooke is definitely taking a liking to the camera!



Silly mommy! We can't fit together in the chair anymore!

I'll let the monkey sit and I'll stand!



Quick recap of the month:

*** Brooke still isn't crawling. It's only been the last 2 days that she has even showed any interest in trying. Maybe she'll figure it out over the next month? Or will she walk first? She LOVES to stand and is even taking some steps when holding onto our fingers!

*** Brooke is still a great sleeper at night, but it seems the only time she will nap is in the car. Luckily we are on the go quite a bit!

*** Brooke still LOVES to eat! She is now eating solids 3 times a day and still loves all her fruits and veggies! She truly is a GREAT eater and is down to only 3 bottles per day. She is also doing a great job drinking water out of a sippy cup!

*** Brooke now weighs 24 pounds, 14 ounces and is wearing 12-18 month clothing (some 18-24 month) and size 4 diapers.

*** Her newest trick is shaking her head up and down and also making silly sounds with her fingers on her lips.

*** Brooke is still a great baby! We are always on the run and no day is ever the same, but yet she is always happy!

*** Brooke is in her first photo competition to win $1000 for "Chicago's Most Huggable Baby" at www.wlit.com. Wish her luck!
