Brooklyn 13 and 14 months

Well I did not get around to posting about 13 months but here are the last two months summed up:

Brooklyn had her first fever which was due to a ear infection. She had fever for 3 days of 102-103 and so they gave her penicillin. She was allergic and broke out in rash.

She eats ok but I would not put her up there with the best eaters. She eats anything with cheese. Macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese, quesadilla. She eats the Gerber ravioli which is how she gets her vegetables. She will not eat any vegetables plain. I can get her to eat some sweet potato. She will eat some fruits but she will just surprise you when she does that. We still do some babyfood to make sure she gets veggies and fruits.

The things she says consistently are: hi, bye-bye, ball. She can mimic other words but will not say them without being prompted. She can also make the sound of a dog when prompted.

She still claps and dances. She now gives high fives, knows where her ear is, likes to be chased, plays peek a boo.

We have had a lots of visitors lately and Laird and I get a break b/c it is like we are not even here. So if you come visit you better want to play with Brooklyn.

Her favorite toy right now is her Cabbage Patch Kid that Poppy's cousin Cynthia gave her for her birthday. She also smiled for these pictures when I said smile. She loves the camera. Here are some pictures of her dragging it around.





Look for pictures of her Halloween costume. She is going to be a butterfly and she loves her costume.

Brooklyn's walking footage

For those of you who have not seen Brooklyn walking here she is! She has been walking for about 3 weeks.

Grapefest

It was such a nice day on Sunday after Ike got out of town that we decided to go to Grapefest in Grapevine. We took Brooklyn to the petting zoo and she saw a musical group called the Side Street Circus. That kept her attention for about 5 mintues. It was starting to get hot and Brooklyn was ready for her nap so we called it a day after about 2 hours.





Doctor appt

Well, I had a doctors appt last Friday and everything still looks good. I heard the strong heartbeat. I really have just noticed that the nausea has gone away this week. It seemed like it lasted a little longer this time. I never really get sick just nauseated. We will find out the sex on October 3rd

Brooklyn is going to be big sister!

I think most of you know that Brooklyn is going to be a big sister in March or maybe February. I am 13 weeks and the due date is March 1st. Everything is going well and we will find out the sex in October. They will be 19 months apart. I wanted to get her a Big Sister shirt to put a picture on the blog but could not find a cute one. Stay tuned for more updates!

Officially Walking!

Well, Brooklyn is officially walking. She really made strides over the weekend and by the week she was walking from room to room. She is not real fast or sure so she just takes it slow.

Fun weekend!

We went to Austin for Greyson's 1st birthday, then to San Antonio to spend the night with Pappy and Gammy, then to Houston to hang out with Miller. I think Brooklyn had enough b/c the last day she was not liking Miller. She did not want to hang out with him and cried all the way to Children's Museum and back everytime Miller made a noise. She will have to get over it! She did good with him the first couple of days but then she was over him. Laird had a meeting in Houston so we decided to make it a tour of Texas. Here are some pictures of the weekend and week!
