Santa came to town!

We have had a busy week with lots of family in town. Santa brought Brooklyn a kitchen and she loves it. Mimi also got her some play food and that has been a big hit! She also got a new doll and stuffed monkey that she likes. Brooklyn has learned to say "Ho! Ho!" She really does have the third "Ho!" down yet. She points to Santa figurines and says it. She also got a motorized car from gammy and Pappy that is parent assisted until she learns how to steer by herself. We also hosted our family reunion on Sunday.

Work weekend on Stella's nursery

Last weekend Heather and Clint came down and helped us paint the new nursery for Stella. Yes... her name will be Stella Louise. They were 2/3 thirds of our work team along with Laird so they were a big help! Thanks Heather and Clint! Laird and Clint also changed out all of the ceiling fans, door knobs, and hardware on cabinets. We have been very busy. I will post pictures of the final room when it is complete.

Mom's League Xmas party

We went to the Mom's league christmas party yesterday. It was a nice party but there were about 200 people there and Brooklyn would not let me hardly put her down. There were pictures with Santa also. At first Brooklyn looked and Santa and kind of smiled then really started checking him out and it was all over. These are just snapshots from my camera.

Thanksgiving and Sea World

We had a great Thankssgiving in the Hill Country. We went to Fredericksburg first and Brooklyn had a fun time with Nonna and Poppy. She has a treasure chest at Nonna's and it had some new toys. It ended with Nonna and Poppy having to take away a puzzle piece to put it away and Brooklyn did not like it. Nonna does not want her to associate her with taking away things but she will have to many more times I am sure. We then went to San Antonio to Gammy and Pappy's where there were about 15 of us. Fun times! We went to Sea World on Saturday and Brooklyn did like it but I am sure she will like it more in years to come.

Brooklyn 15 month stats

Well we still have not hit 20 lbs but I already changed her facing forward. She is 4oz away so she will be there soon. She is 15% percentile which has actually gone up. She is 30 inches which makes her 80% percentile. Her appt was even 2 weeks late. The doctor said everything looked good though she is just little.

Here is a picture of John and Laird before leaving for the game.
