Miller's visit

Miller came to visit for 5 days while Laird went to Canada on a work fishing trip. We had a good time except Miller was sick the last 2 days. Miller loves Brooklyn and tries to be sweet but he is not so gentle and Brooklyn does not like him invading her space. Anything that Brooklyn is doing Miller comes to see what the fun is all about and steal her toys. They absolutely wore us out!

Nac weekend

We went to Nac this weekend because Poppy was having a homecoming and preaching in Nac for the first time since he retired. It was a great weekend! There was a Fish Fry on Saturday night and he preached on Sunday. Brooklyn was a perfect angel all weekend. She started taking her sippy cup really good and did really good in the nursery at chruch.

Swim Debut

We went to San Antonio this weekend because my Dad had a mild stroke/seizure but he is ok thankfully. He scared us! Please continue to pray that he does not have anymore of these episodes. Gammy and Pappy sure do have a fun kiddie pool area in their neighborhood and the babies got to enjoy it while we were there. This was Brooklyn's first time in the pool. She loved it! It ended up being a great weekend for Brooklyn and Miller to hang out. Laird parent's came on Saturday and watched the babies while we went to the hospital. They had fun I think on their 39th wedding anniversary.

Miller and Brooklyn are both serious about the water.

10 months

Brooklyn was 10 months yesterday. She is very mobile now. She is crawling, pulling up on everything and even crawling up the stairs (we need to install some gates). She is also able to push and walk with her lion push toy. It is not perfected so the lion gets out in front of her and she catches up to it. I don't have any pictures crawling up the stairs but I will get some.






Here she is with lion push toy.




She has a guilty look on her face.

Kim's wedding

The wedding was great! Everything went off without a hitch. Brooklyn had her schedule thrown for a loop but other than that it was a great and busy weekend. We stayed in a hotel downtown Sat night but Brooklyn decided she did not want to sleep in the hotel so we drove back to Southlake at 3:30 in the morning.

Kim and Rob's shower







We hosted a couples shower at our house for Kim and Rob. It was a great party. Jennifer and her mom kept our babies upstairs and Brooklyn cried for 2 hours. Brooklyn is experiencing stranger danger as Trevor says.

9 months




Brooklyn was 9 months yesterday. She is crawling well and starting to pull up on things. She claps her hands a lot. She had her 9 month checkup today and she weighs 16 lbs and is 28 inches long. She is in the 10th percentile for weight. She is a little girl but does have some chunky monkey thighs. Her head size is the 83rd percentile so I guess all of her calories are going to her brain.
