Happy 7 Months!
-She has started to pull herself up
-She is a pro at sitting up
-She is so close to crawling...she is a master at the army crawl! :) I think it's time for baby gates.
-Takes a morning nap around 9 to 10:30, afternoon nap from 1 to 3, and lately she has been taking a little cat nap around 5 or so for about 30 minutes.
-She is excellent at baby push ups!
-She is loving her paci lately!
-Loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Minnie! :)
-She was very sick mid October -- she had a fever of 104 and we couldn't get it to go down for 2 days. She was sick for about 5 or so days.
-She had her first Halloween...she was a lion...and hated it. Maybe next year will work out better.

Birth Story
The biggest thing that helped me go into labor was I got a prenatal massage on Monday (the day before my water broke). I told her to do everything possible to make me go into labor so she worked on my pressure points and I'm 100% positive that worked!

2 months old!
Happy 2 months old Brooke! It's so hard to believe she is already 2 months. We love her so much and couldn't image our lives without her. She goes for her 2 month checkup on Friday so I'll update the blog then.

Tummy time
Brooke definitely isn't a fan of tummy time. I try so hard each day for her to have "tummy time" but she'll only take it for maybe 5 minutes. She is getting soo strong!!

Visiting cousin Eli
We were at Ben's jobsite last week and we went to Arlington to visit cousin Eli. I absolutely love B and him hanging out and can't wait for all our memories to come in the future. They are 19 days apart.




Lake Day
Ben and I had a wonderful Saturday at the lake. Grandpa Bill came up to spend time with Brooke. We had a blast ... We definitely needed it....Lots of sunshine, firefly, sailor jerrys, portside tiki bar, and time together. B did great with Grandpa Bill. It was the first time being away from her for 7 hours. We both made it. :)
