Lovey Dovey


Brooke has formed some strong attachments lately, the big one being to me. She has not been doing so hot in the nursery lately without Mommy. Our poor friend Jordan watched her while we were doing house stuff, and he very nicely said she "wasn't too happy about three seconds after you left." She finally wore herself out after about an hour and a half. 
Brooke is also quite attached to her bottle. She enjoys having it in her hands at all times. 
Wanting to avoid a big issue (since the doc recommended nixing the bottle at a year), and heeding advice from my friend Emily, we are trying to soothe her during fussy moments with a "lovey". So for the past two days, we have been rotating three washable stuffed animals into her daily routines in hopes that one will capture her heart. I think we have a winner...her princess bear. This is sweet because it is really the first stuffed animal she was given. My mom gave it to me shortly after we shared the news that our family would be growing. We are keeping the runners up on stand-by, of course. Here she is loving Miss Bear...and a piece of cardboard.

Ten Months! That's almost a year!

To Our Sweet Girl:
You are ten months old, and we can't believe it. Every day you are becoming more independent, and your personality is shining through. You already know how to melt our hearts with one look. Daddy and I constantly say what a miracle and blessing you are in our lives. You are such a good baby. Everyone loves you. You are complimented daily on how beautiful and sweet you are by most everyone we meet. Here are some things that stand out about you at 10 months old:
1) You do your silly scrunchy nose face at will.
2) You have 6 teeth.
3) You enjoy screaming and yelling at the top of your lungs; you think this is hilarious.
4) You are so easy to get to sleep at night. We just put on your lullaby CD, say prayers, give hugs and kisses, and lay you down. As soon as you make your way onto your tummy you are out until morning.
5) You can multitask while standing. You often clap or hold an object above your head while standing unassisted. You are soooo ready to take your first steps any day now, but I think you enjoy crawling too much.
6) You call Daddy "Dadda" when you see him.
7) You have grasped the concept of "mine". No, you can't say the word, but you cry when something of yours is taken away.
8) When you hear applause on TV, you start clapping.
9) You despise your carseat and the idea of being strapped into it. You fight it every time.
10) You give kisses. By this I mean you lean forward with an open mouth for a big wet one. It's the sweetest thing.

We love you baby girl! You are soooo special to us.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy

A Beautiful Day

Mom was in town Saturday and it was a beautiful day, so we headed to the Dallas Arboretum. We packed a picnic lunch and took our time strolling through the gardens. I got some pretty nice pictures of our darling girl and even some family shots, thanks to Mom.


There was a miniature old town for the kids to explore. Here is the inside of the church covered in verses.

Chillin' With Grammy & Grandpa Hub

We met my parents in Waxahachie this weekend for the Texas Country Reporter Festival. The weather was beautiful, the downtown was charming, the booths were fun and interesting, but there were wayyyy too many people there! I think it was an unexpected turnout. We actually ended up leaving early to get some Whataburger and we headed on to our hotel my mom had reserved in Hillsboro. That's really where the fun started. We just spent the day together hanging out and talking in the room. I really miss spending time with Mom and Dad like that.


Brooke unexpectedly hit another milestone in front of her grandparents. She rolled over from back to tummy. Mom took a nap with Brooke and even let me get a nap in too while they watched her.

I am so blessed to have such wonderful parents. I often wish we lived closer to them.

Anyway to totally and completely switch subjects, our computer died last Tuesday. Since then, we have been shopping around for a new one. We ended up buying a Mac. It is pretty awesome. One feature is the built in webcam that has special effects. Here are a few silly poses we created just in time for Halloween...




We are so easily entertained.
