Look what I can do now!

A big milestone - Brooklynn can sit on her own! Of course there were many face-plants and falls before it was mastered, but she's getting better everyday. So sweet and innocent....
She can pull the dogs' hair and really tick them off!
She can now go to the zoo and actually enjoy the animals (except she was a little scared of the turtle). Good luck getting her to take care of cousins Moses and Odin!

The Ram Fam

Saturday was Brooklynn's first CSU football game. She enjoyed the trombone suicide but crashed shortly after. She slept through the exciting victory, but she was a trooper!

I love spinach!

Eating food is a new adventure everyday! Each day Brooklynn learns something new to do with her food. Last week it was gagging and coughing. This week spitting it all over the place. It's too funny!

Daddy's Birthday

Steve turned the big 2-8 on the 12th! Steve had a work shindig in Vegas, so we thought it'd be a great place to celebrate the birthday. Of course we had to leave Brooklynn at home, and we missed her tremendously. We headed to downtown Vegas Friday evening and then went to Mystere (Cirque du Soleil) on Saturday night. We stayed at the Venetian and ate at some swanky restaurants. We were able to see how wealthy people do Vegas!

Brooklynn loved the wrapping paper.

Go Rams! Yes that is a half-eaten cake!

Labor Day Weekend Festivities

This weekend we started swim lessons. Daddy swam with Brooklynn, while I was photographing. They sang songs and played with some toys. There's nothing like seeing Steve sing "Motorboat...motorboat". If the guys could see him now! Brooklynn did really well and enjoyed it, even though she was the youngest one by far! Sunday we sported our CSU gear for the big game, although it turned out to be an ugly game! Monday we packed a picnic and headed to the park for some R & R.

The Ram Fam

Oh how she's growing....

In the last month Brooklynn has learned to laugh (the best sound in the world), play with her toys, and master the art of eating food! I've gone back to work part-time, so she's going to daycare a few hours a day but loves it! We've been lucky to find a wonderful daycare. We're working on sign language, so we'll see how that goes. It's been an amazing 6 months and each day gets better. We're looking forward to her new discoveries everyday.
