the doctor said that brooklin was going to be an exact clone of me. yikes! i think she's definitely a lot cuter. :)
brooklin has been talking a lot more and her vocabulary seems to grow a little more each day. we're starting to work on pronouncing colors. so far she's got lellow and boo. so cute! sometimes we can hear her singing too. it's adorable, but if she knows we're listening she'll stop right away and we can't get her to continue. stage fright, just like her momma. :) she uses a fork and spoon to eat, sometimes. she still prefers to play with her food. she just loves the squishy, slimy textures. she loves playing with her mega blocks and is getting good at stacking her wooden blocks. she finally is saying momma. for the longest time she refused to say it, even though we knew she could. it was just a game to her. her teeth are finally coming in, a little randomly, but still, they're coming. three molars and three front teeth. what's up with that??? her hair is getting really long and i just love how it curls on the ends. she knows all of her major body parts, including her knees, elbows, shoulders and chin. she still loves to play with rocks and get dirty. she loves animals and shows no fear around them. i think she thinks they're moving, noise-making versions of her stuffed animals. she has been to nursery at church 3 times already and has done so well. i think it was much harder for me, than for her, the one who was actually being left. :)
she amazes me everyday. i have learned so much from being her mommy and i know that her sweet spirit has definitely blessed our lives. there have been times when i've been so insanely frustrated with her, and i think i'm a terrible mother, but then i'm blessed with those moments when everything seems to be just perfect and i feel like i'm in heaven. i love this little girl more than i ever thought i would. i am so grateful that the Lord would entrust me with one of his precious children and i only hope i don't let him, and her, down.
i love you brooklin. you are beautiful and so smart, and such an amazing child. i know that you have to grow, i just wish you didn't have to do it so quickly. lucky for me, i get to have you forever!

That was a great post. Thank you for sharing it. We love you too Brookie!
Great posts. Brooklin is such a cutie. They do grow up fast...I have a seven (thinks he's 40) years old and just the other day it seems like we were over at your parents house telling you that we were expecting. Hope your mom gets well soon, our prayer are with you guys. AND I would have to agree that you DO live in an awsome place...I miss birch bay.
A very heartfelt and meaningful post. We love Brooklin too, she is just so adorable and fun to be around.
