Check Up

Brooklyn and I each had a check up on Wednesday and it put more perspective on why I sorely need to push harder on motivating myself to workout. I won't share the gory details about my weight but I will fill you on Brook. She weighed in at 13.9 pounds which put her in the 50th percentile and measured 26 1/2 inches long and in the 82nd percentile for her length. She is growing and doing so well. Brook also got her shots which she was not happy about at all and has had a rough couple of days, but now she is back to her happy little self. Brook's bottom teeth also decided they weren't quite ready to come in and so they went back into hiding. Thank Heavens!!

4 Months Old

Brooklyn is 4 months old today and such a little ray of sunshine. She is learning so quickly how to get my attention. She starts coughing and gasping and when I run to check her she starts to giggle, knowing that her little plot worked. Such a little stinker!! But we definitely love her despite her little quirks.

Comfy?

Brooklyn has recently found her feet and loves to play with them and try and eat her toes. Lately she has been falling asleep with her feet in her hands and it just doesn't look so comfy but it doesn't seem to bother her very much.

Work It Out

My mom and I have decided to make a pact to work out together. We haven't done so well in the past but we are very determined to make it work. We were telling dad and Cole of our plans to work out, so for family home evening mom decided we should all try and do some pull ups. Mom and I couldn't even pull ourselves up, but dad and Cole made light work of it, showing us just how easy it is to do a pull up. Anyways, we didn't get much of a workout for our arms but my abs sure got a workout from all of the laughing we did.

Buddies

For the last three months Andrea and her kids have been staying at mom and dad's while she has been helping coach the girl's basketball team. Sydnee has been such a good helper when it comes to Brooklyn. She's been helping me pick out her outfits and bows and even making sure if she loses her binky that it gets washed off and straight back to Brooklyn. Lately, Sydnee has been wanting to watch "mobies" with Brooklyn and I got this cute little picture of them watching The Little Mermaid.

Something to Talk About...

Brooklyn seems to be growing up just way too fast. She has learned that she can jabber and she really lets you know it when she is in the room. Today at lunch she was showing off for Grandpa and Gerald, just talking along and acting as if we could understand her. She is such a show off until you try to get it on camera, but this is what I was able to get her to do.
