I tried to do our monthly photo shoot, but as you will see, Brooke had ants in her pants and wouldn't sit still. This is the one and only picture I was able to capture in her chair!
Still photos seem to be a thing of the past, she is on the loose! So here is a short video of what I went through trying to take a picture!
Quick recap of the month:
*** Brooke has not only mastered walking, but she RUNS! There is no doubt, she loves her new found freedom. She will walk anywhere and everywhere she can, while stopping along the way to see what she can get into.
*** Crawling has become a thing of the past. Now that she can get up without pulling up on anything, she walks wherever she needs to go.
*** Brooke also loves the telephone, she loves to hold it to her ear and say "hi"! I'm not sure she realizes that it actually needs to be a phone, because she will hold just about anything she can to her ear and say "hi".
*** Brooke is finally starting to enjoy reading. We get alot of "Oooooo" and "wow" while reading to her. Reading is about the only time, she isn't walking around.
*** Brooke likes to play with her toys. She likes to demolish everything... I can't tell you how many times a day I pick up after her! She is getting very good at toys where you put the block through a hole or drop a ball down a chute.
*** Bedtime has become a breeze! We followed her doctors suggestion and let her "cry it out" a few nights. That was heartbreaking, but SO worth it! Now, we take a bath, read a few books, drink a bottle and go to bed. No alligator wrestling, no tears, just a hug and a kiss good night! She still doesn't like the idea of napping, but she will go down at least once a day for a 1-2 hour nap.
*** Brooke is still a great eater! She now weighs 29 pounds and is wearing 2T clothing and size 5 diapers.
*** Miss Brooke's vocabulary is expanding, she now says... mama, dada, baba, lala, MoMo (Elmo), wow, Ooooo, no, bye-bye, hi, meow, dog and ball.
*** Brooke is very a very happy and adventureous little girl who keeps me on my toes ALL the time, but I wouldn't want her any other way!
