Update!

Geez it has been a month since we have updated our blog!!! We have been super busy and gone just about every week this month! Time has flown by!! We are moving to Jacksonville Florida TOMORROW!!! It is crazy how fast the time to leave has come! We will miss our families, Rexburg friends, and our ward, but we seriously cannot wait to start our adventure in Florida!!!! As for Brooklyn, she is growing like a weed and will be 11 months old on the 4th!!! She started crawling on father's day and hasn't slowed down since! She loves to zoom around the house and pull herself up on everything, especially the T.V. stand! She has three, almost 4 teeth and is getting smarter every day! Here are a BUNCH of pictures from the last few weeks!

Greg and Brooklyn watching fireworks

She loves to give kisses!
She loves to read, and is always pulling this scrunchy face
Watching her favorite movie Winnie the Pooh while her pants fall off

She was THRILLED with the mess she made!

Seriously...she is always doing this face, it makes us laugh so hard!

She finally out grew her baby carseat and now has a big girl car seat, which she loves!

And finally....one of our new family pictures my dad took for us during the 4th of July

So that is what we have been up to the last month!!! Our next post probably won't be for a few weeks until we are all settled into our apartment in Florida, but we will have lots of great pictures to share!!!!

9 1/2 Months Already!!!!

These are just some of the most recent pictures of Brooklyn!! She is 9 1/2 months old and is growing so fast!!! She weighs around 21 pounds and is a little over 29 inches tall!! She has two bottom teeth, and is so close to crawling!!! She has started to pull herself up when she sits by you and she thinks it is the coolest thing ever!!!! We can't believe how fast this first year is going by, she is going to be 1 before we even know it!!! Enjoy some pics from the last few weeks!

This is her lastest pose for the camera, leaning to the side and grabbing her foot

She is always so happy and smiley!!

This was after we got home from a reunion, she was sooo happy to be home! Brooklyn and I with my Grandma and Great Grandparents

(don't mind the clothes-less baby she had a little accident)

Her first time on the swings!

Swinging with Uncle Jake and Uncle DeeJayThis is her idea of helping with laundry

I LOVE watching her sleep!

She has just about outgrown her carseat!

Brooklyn laughing

These are some videos of Brooklyn laughing, it's one of my favorite parts of being a mom! Remember to scroll down and pause the music so you can hear her!

Random Pics

These are just a bunch of random pictures from the last week! The first few are of Brooklyn in her new "Big Girl" night gown! She is growing so fast she has just about outgrown all of her pjs. Her little toes get all squished and the sleeves only go to her elbows! We went shopping and tried to find pjs that would fit her, but instead we decided to get her a night gown so she wouldnt get so hot and sweaty and night! She seems to love it! If you look close in some of the pics you can see her cute two bottom teeth!

These pictures show what happens when you give her a lick of your ice cream..she steals it all!!! The other day we were outside and all the sudden heard the icecream truck's music, so Greg booked it inside to grab some cash and we darted over...it was a first time for all of us!! This girl has to have a taste of everything you are eating, and so far she has loved everything..especially ice cream!

We bought this little hat for her to wear at the zoo, but it doesn't quite fit her yet..she just likes to play with it instead. She has the happiest most easy going personality, and we love it!

Splash Park

Last Thursday was sooo hot and sunny, so we went to the splash park here in Rexburg with Carrie and the girls! I thought Brooklyn would like it more than she did, she loves swimming and being in the bath tub....but I guess the water was just too cold for her liking! The first picture was her reaction when I sat her down....slowly she got used to the water and then started to have fun!

What a sad little face

The whole time we were there she NEVER smiled for the camera!

This is Brooklyn working on becoming a beach bum! She's practicing soakin' up some sun and talking on the phone, before we hit the beaches in Florida!

She layed like this forever!

She really didn't like the bigger sprays of water....

As long as she was by the little one she was ok!

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we went to the zoo in Idaho Falls. Brooklyn has a book about the zoo that she loves to look at, so we figured she would like to see the real animals too! Brooklyn loved looking at the monkeys, lions, ducks, tigers, kangaroos, donkeys, goats etc. We had a lot of fun! The zoo isn't too big, but we were there for a couple of hours and had lots of fun! At the Zoo Entrance
This is a nest...in case you can't tell

Greg and Brooklyn inside the egg

She loved the donkeys the most, she kept laughing and yelling at them

The monkeys were right by the window, and she kept hitting it and yelling at them

This picture wasn't from Memorial day, but I thought I would through it in just for Greg. He is a HUGE Lebron James fan, and while the Cavs were still in the playoffs we went to a friends house to watch the game with them, and this is what they wore!

Cute Pics

These are the most recent pictures we have taken of Brooklyn. Last Sunday was so nice and warm, we decided to take her out to the grass for a little photo shoot. We can't believe how fast the time goes by! She is now 8 1/2 months old!! We are guessing she weighs a little over 20 lbs now and is over 28 inches tall! Last week she finally got her first tooth and she is sooo close to crawling, she will get up on all fours and rock and bounce like crazy, but she hasn't quite figured out how to get going!! Well that is about all that is new with us, Greg and I are both working and counting down the days until we move, we can't wait!
