Pictures

I wanted to get pictures of Brooke around 6 months while she was sitting and not moving around. Well, once I confirmed that she was sitting and made the appointment, it ended up being on April 15th and A LOT had changed. She was moving all around and putting everything in her mouth. Anytime she was sitting she was grabbing hand fulls of leaves, dirt, flowers, etc. It made for an interesting photo shoot, but Julie did a great job. Wow, this girl is patient. I also decided we would try to get a few pics of the boys and try for a family shot if it worked out. We were very pleased with the pictures, although it was a stressful hour and a half! I had wanted to have a few outfit changes for Brooke, but there was no way that would happen. These were done on Brooke's 7 month birthday!

Anyone in the area should consider using Julie. She's fantastic!!

Lots of great pictures...

Brooke's Seventh Month

Brooke had a wonderful 7th month. She figured out quickly how to get on all fours and do a normal crawl. She started out slow and then became very fast. She also started pulling up toward the end of the month. You can't slow this girl down!! Once again, she is very determined.

She's a great eater. She doesn't really have many baby foods that she doesn't like. She does not prefer oatmeal cereal, but is fine with rice and barley. She also isn't a fan of peaches at the moment, but has been more willing to have more bites. I'm assuming they are more bitter than the other fruits.

Her brothers love to go with me to get her up in the mornings or from naps. She is definitely loved and receives LOTS of attention!


She loves to ride around in her buggy


Smiling at her crazy brothers


Getting Ben

Gonna read with Blake
Look what trouble found. She loves to knock down all the books.
Happy 7 months precious girl!

Easter

We dyed Easter eggs the night before Easter. The boys had fun!

A few pictures before church

We had a wonderful church service. They invited all the kids up to the stage for the final song and Blake was so excited. We were way in the back but he just took off and enjoyed his time on stage. So cute!

After church we headed to Aunt Shara's for an egg hunt

Tired Brookie

After the egg hunt we headed to Prestonwood Country Club for lunch where Uncle Steve and family joined us. Then, on to Uncle Brock's house to see the Baldwin family and have an egg hunt with Carter
Happy to be able to crawl around

Bad attempts at a cousin picture. Not sure why no one noticed my kids chocolate mouths.

We were all exhausted when we got home, but it was a fabulous day with family celebrating Our Risen Savior!
