Brookelyn's Room

For my first project in my new house, I thought it should be a fun one, so I started with Brookelyn's room. I was going to do before and after but I forgot to take the before shots. Thanks to my sister Heather for helping and for being tall and able to reach the ceiling. I probably would still be working on it with out her help. I think it turned out pretty cute.

First Cereal

Brookelyn's pediatrician told us to start feeding Brookelyn some cereal. It actually is going really well. She loves to eat! Plus I think she loves the attention. The video was taken on her first feeding. She kept getting mad that I wasnt feeding her fast enough.

Four Months

Brookelyn is four months old now. She went to the Doctors for her check up and she is in the 75% for her height, but only 35% for weight. So I guess we have a tall skinny baby. Darren is hoping she will be tall enough to play in the WNBA. We will have to see.


After looking through Brookelyn's blessing photos I realized that I only get picture with one set of grandparents, so I happened to have her blessing dress in Utah with us and decided to take her picture.


Brookelyn with her cousin Tessa. Tess thought it was fun to get to hold the baby.


Brookelyn was taking a nap one day and this is how we found her sleeping. We thought it was funny.


Fun snap shot with mom.


While we were in Utah Brookelyn really missed her swing so we had to improvise and use the swing set instead.

Wedding

Our niece was getting married so we decided to go to Utah for the wedding. Here are some of the pictures from the wedding.

Jessica and Branden, how cute are they. And Jess possing for the camera.

This picture is funny because you can see the back of so many peoples heads. Faye and Marden, my nephew, Jason in the tux, s-i-l Julie holding Brookelyn, and a little bit of b-i-l, Alan.

Congratulations Jessica and Branden, we love you and we were glad we could be there to help celebrate your next step in life.

New House

We bought a new house. Here are some pictures.

The kitchen.



These were taken about a week before we moved in so obvious there isn't any furniture or decorating.

Three Months

Brookelyn is now 3 months old. She has started to babble and smile alot. It is very cute!

These are her cute poses.

Here are some funnier poses.

A cute outfit and a smile.

Got a new hat for going out in the sun for stroller rides.

Spent an afternoon laying out on a blanket in the sun with mom.

What flavor of ice cream are you?

So my sister's friend had this quiz on her blog and here is my results.

You're Black Raspberry.
You are passionate, creative, and inspired. Black raspberry ice cream is an unusual color and flavor, so some people might consider it strange, but your exciting personality is what makes you so delicious. You bring a juicy burst of flavor to everything you do, and your life is packed with one memorable experience after another.



This is what flavor Darren would be:

You're Mint Chocolate Chip.
Mint chocolate chip ice cream wakes up people's taste buds, and you do the same thing when you walk into a room. The chocolatey bits represent your sweet, flirtatious side, and the minty flavor represents your high energy level. You are smart, witty, and you make a great first impression. Your friends value your advice, because you tend to see things from a fresh new perspective.

Brookelyn's Blessing

Here are some pictures of our dolly on her blessing day. Darren's mom made the dress, the bonnet, and matching booties. My sister Jenny made the bracelet. What a little cutie-patutie! We had some of our family come from Utah, Darren's parents, My parents, my sisters Heather and Jenny, and Jenny's cute family- Chris (b-i-l), Elise and Tessa (Nieces). My Aunt Donna and Uncle Gary from Vacaville were there too. It really made it special to have them here for her special day.

Two Months

I was going to be all creative and do "Brookelyn's favorite things", but I'm lazy or just too tired, so you get these cute pictures of Brookelyn instead.

Here are her favorite things though:

1. Her white Binky, not the green one, not the pink one, just the white one.

2. Her swing (thanks to Beth), she loves to sleep in her swing.

3.Taking baths, she doesn't know how to splash, but I think she will soon start.

4. Taking walks in the stroller. As long as we keep moving she loves to go walking. (Which is good for my exercise).

5. Sleeping on the boppy. I know babies aren't supposed to sleep on them, but she is so peaceful.

6. Her mommy and daddy, she just learned how to smile and we get all of the smiles.
7. Shopping, we can go shopping for hours and she rarely has any problems.

Yes Brookelyn is in a bag. This bag was made by a friend of mine that worked with me at the Temple. I thought it was funny that she fit in the bag, and actually liked being in there.
