BabblingBrooklet: May 2008

Thank You Grandmas!!

Where should I begin? These last couple of weeks have been crazy and we couldn't have survived without Debbie & Gail, literally! Brooke has been teething and finally got 2 top teeth, she has started waving, giving a high 5, and standing up all by herself without the support of furniture, people or dogs. Good job Brooke.

On the flip side, John and I have been on our death bed for about a week from lets just say a "stomach bug" and I will spare you the horrible details. Grandma Debbie & Grandma Gail came to our rescue and took care of Brooke all week! John & I could barely get out of our "death bed", overcome our 102 degree fevers, let alone pick Brooke up. Finally, I went to the doc and got 3 bags of IV fluids for dehydration and after a couples hours I started to feel like a semi-normal person again. With that said, it has been over a week and John & I are still dealing with the tail end of this bug. Hope no one else gets this nasty thing! BUT back to my point, THANK YOU DEBBIE & GAIL for all of your help taking care of Brooke, John and me. You are the best grandmas ever!

Brooke made some new friends.... dolls. The doll in the purple is about Brooke's size, she loves her.

Mom give me the camera!

Mother's Day Weekend

My first Mother's Day was wonderful! It is crazy to look back at the last 9 months and see how much Brooke along with our lives have changed. Aunt Libby came into town for the weekend. We went to a wedding on Saturday and then to a wonderful brunch on Sunday with Grandma Gail, Grandma Debbie, Grandpa Joel, Aunt Libby, Uncle Jeremy. And as a fantastic Mother's Day gift, Brooke got me a great pair of shoes (thanks Scooter)!!

Dad is feeding me lots of yummy food!

Gettin' in my time with Aunt Libby

Happy May

As I sit here to wish everyone a happy May, I am watching it snow out our front window. We are ready for warm weather and sick of the cold & snow. However, we have had some great "teaser" days full of sunshine, flowers and fun. Brooke's personality is really starting to show. She is a goof-ball and loves to giggle, drink out of cups and of course, play with the dogs. She is starting to take a couple of steps and balance on her own.
