This week we started to give her rice cereal and....she absolutely loves it!!!! I don't think she can get enough! At first she wasn't sure about the texture but after a few bites she was making all sorts of noises and diving for the spoon! She eats about two little bowls of it before she acts like she doesn't want anymore
These are just a few random pictures that i threw in just for fun! She is getting so big and starting to get a few little rolls! We took her to the doc. last week and she is 25 3/4 inches long and 13 lbs 14 oz, so she is gaining about a pound and growing 1 1/2-2 inches a month!
This girl loves the bathtub! I think she'd stay in it for hours if the water would stay warm for her! She goes crazy the minute she hits the water, constantly kicking and splashing her arms! If we don't leave her in long enough she gets really mad when we take her out!
That is pretty much all that is new in our lives. I just started my last semester at BYU Idaho and Greg has submitted all of his law school applications, so now he just has to wait to get accepted!
One more thing that I forgot to mention, We need some serious help getting Brooklyn on a decent schedule so that I am not exhausted for my early morning classes! I have tried what seems like everything to get Brooklyn asleep at least before 11 and nothing has worked! She barely takes naps during the day, if we are lucky she will take maybe one or two 2 hr (at the most) naps a day, and then she is up smiling and talking until at least 12:30 at night or later!!! Once she is asleep though she sleeps throught the night, the problem is her staying up so late! I have tried starting to get her ready for bed as early as 9 and we are still up until almost one, so if any of you have any great tricks or tips let us know!!! (sorry for the huge post!)

Cute pics! I wish I could help on the sleep thing, we are having the same challenge. Let me know if you find anything that works. Good luck with school as well!
What a cutie!
On the scheduel thing, you just have to do what feels right to you. I fed Brecken (cereal to keep him full) then bathed him, then topped him off with bottle and then put him in bed with soothing music. The first few nights he cried for like a half an hour, and so did I! But after that we were set! So good luck!
cute pictures! I remember when the girls were like that with the schedule thing. I just tried to wake them up earlier in the morning so that they would nap earlier, and then we eventually just took out the second nap so they would only have one nap, but she seems to be too young for that still. But when the girls started having one nap they would sleep for like 12 or 13 hours at night and it was so nice!
That's so great the she loves cereal!!! Isaac acts like we are trying to poison him, I wish he would take it because than maybe he would sleep longer. How does Brooklyn sleep?
Kacey! She is getting so big! I was sad I didn't get to see ya over christmas. Maybe we'll run into each other down here before you leave. I hope everything is going well!
You and Greg and Brooklyn make such a cute family! Tell Greg I said hi (we went to high school together).

Try giving her a bath at night to help relax her, then feed her some cereal to fill her belly. Then put her in bed and as hard as it is, let her cry it out. Eventually, she will get the hang of it and go to sleep earlier. If that doesn't work, have Greg stay up with her. (Sorry Greg). Good luck. Just remember--this too shall pass.
She is so cute and looking so old. I took my Lilly to the doctor today and shes bigger than Brooklyn, (she weighed 14 lbs. at 3 months). I have some big babies though!
very fun time! i wanna see you guys again! and you sure are lookin good!
She has such a smily little face! She always was like that from the beginning! I look forward to those "sleep though the night" days. Boy, it's killing me!
