Brooklyn Bear

I have been horrible with blogging about Brooklyn! With James I took lots of pictures and blogged all of his accomplishments, well baby stats, etc.... but not with Brooklyn. So here is my attempt to catch up a little bit when it comes to that!

Brooklyn went in for her 4th monthvisit last month (Feb. 8th-ish) and the doctor LOVED her! She was in the 65% for length, 75% for weight, and 90% for head circumference. She is SUCH a joy- she is seriously ALWAYS content unlessshe is hungry.

This past week she has started putting more weighton her legs (she loves the baby Einstein jumper that we have), she rolls from her back to her tummy every chance she gets, she LOVES playing for toys (something James didn't do at that age), she grabs for toys even when she can't reach them, she laughs all the time (especially at James), she loves looking at her mama, she has started scooting backwards (something James loved to do), and she gabbers A LOT. James was pretty much a silent baby so its fun to hear her talk- she can talk NONSTOP for a good half hour and loves to have a conversation with her mama (she will let me talk and then she responds). Her favorite sounds are the G, B, F, short A, and gurgling noise. Here are just afew pictures of her from the past few months:

It was a really cold day but James and I were tiredof being cooped up, so we went to the park. Here is Brooklyn all bundled up in her car seat:

One of the things we did on Valentines was make homemade ice cream (more pics. of that to come). Here is Brooklyn laying on the floor while we were making it:

Random photo shoot- she LOVES sticking her tongue out and to the right side like in the picture below:

James was making her laugh in the picture below. I love watching them interact- they definitely have a special place in their hearts for each other!

She loves sticking her hand in her mouth! We are trying to steer clear of thumb sucking, but I don't mind hand sucking too much:

Just this past week we had beautiful weather so we went to the park. The lighting was so good for pictures so I took some pictures of Brooklyn chilling in her car seat again. From these pictures below I think she may have a talent for modeling :)

While cooking dinner, I always put Brooklyn on the ground next to the kitchen so I can watch her while James plays. On this day I decided to take a break from cooking and snap a couple of pictures of her in action:
