Spring Fever.....

Well we already have spring fever.....yet it still snows.  Which we will take the snow in hopes that the house doesn't catch fire this summer.  But on those nice days I find myself wanting to go fishing and camping.....yet a little hard to do when the lakes are still frozen.

Life is good with our girl.  She has such an amazing, fun personality already.  She is eating two solid meals a day and I have thoroughly enjoyed making homemade baby purees for her.  She takes 2 naps a day and sleeps 11 hours at night on a pretty regular basis.  At night we are wearing 12 month pj's....and as a whole wearing 6-12 or just 12 month outfits.  We are still cloth diapering and we love it.  We have graduated out of the infant seat due to the weight of having to carry her around.  Plus she seems to enjoy the carseat much more now.  Plus we have a thick, tall girl....weighed her today and got 21 lbs.

Brooklyn loves water, she kicks and screams for bath time, so we decided to take her swimming.....she loved it!!  Water baby for sure.  She still loves the exersaucer and now the johnny jumper which is hilarious.  It is like she is doing an exercise routine!!  She does a lot of rocking while sitting and at times launches onto her tummy.  She will get in the crawling position now but just rocks, doesn't quite know what to do.....which is fine with me. I like this non mobile stage. :)

She is quite the chatterbox too, new sounds everyday it seems!! And the facial expressions are getting hilarious.  She is getting more enthralled with the dogs, and they really are good with letting her pull on their hair, ears etc. Our lab, Hunter, even thinks she wants to play at some points and will put toys in her lap.  Although this usually leads to Brooklyn trying to put them in her mouth...ew!

We took a trip to visit Brooklyn's great grandparents, B was just about 6 months.  She blew us out of the water with how amazing of a traveler and trooper she was with little naps, messed up schedule and first time on an airplane.  She virtually slept both ways on the flights and she never once had a melt down.

We started taking her to church on a more regular basis now and we are actually going to get her baptized at the end of July.  We had a lovely Easter with Brooklyn's cousins!!!  They just all love each other so much., it's special.
