Holiday Craze

The Holiday Craze is almost over.  All that is left is today – my Birthday, and New Year’s Eve.  We had such a wonderful Christmas with all of our family.  Brooklynn enjoyed watching everyone open their gifts and opened some of her gifts too! I will post pictures from Christmas to flickr.  Brooklynn did so well with our hectic holiday schedule.  She really is a good baby. (As long as she gets her naps in)  Now it is time to de-decorate the house, which I will attempt after the New Year.  I hope everyone had a great Christmas with their family and friends and will have a safe and Happy New Year! 

Holy Crap!

Yes CRAP!  Crap up to Brooklynn’s armpits.  YUCK!  I have never seen such a mess yet! It was straight to the bath.  This cereal really makes for some big stinky do-do. And of course it happened right as we were getting ready to leave.  I guess good thing it happened before we left. Double Yuck!

I Can Sit!

Yes indeed, Miss Brooklynn is able to sit all on her own.  She does really well and impresses Nick and I.  She even is learning how to catch her balance if she starts to lean.  I still sit right by her to catch her when she gets tired or decides she wants a toy out of her reach.  I can not believe how big she is getting.

Are Your Parents Home?

How could I forget.  Last week in the afternoon there was a knock at the door.  I was working and figured it was UPS or something so I ignored it.  “Knock!” “Knock!” again, so I answered the front door.  It was a young lady 19 “selling” a free 1 room carpet cleaning. ( Ha!  I only have 1 room with carpet)  So she asks if my mom or dad is home!  Ha!  Ha!  I said no, this is my house.  Oh! she says apologizing.  She thought I was 18 or 19 years old!  Too funny!  I even had my make up on!  Well, if I can continue to look 6 to 7 years younger than my age, I will be very happy.  It turned out to be a Kirby sales pitch and I learned from my best friend Renee not to let those people in!  So no free carpet cleaning, I will do it myself to spare me a long 3 hour sales pitch on the kirby.  I am a dyson girl anyway!

Here comes Santa Claus

 

We took Brooklynn last week Friday to the mall to have her very first meeting with Santa.  She did so well!  She was mesmerized by his beard and his furry suit.  She kept rubbing the fur on his suit and trying to touch his beard.  Thank goodness we have been working on “nice”, so that she didn’t grab a hold of his beard!  It was hard to get her to stop looking at Santa and look at the camera for the picture.  It turned out cute.

After Santa we decided to do our Christmas shopping.  We ended up losing her Christmas shoe, but was lucky enough to find it at Bath and Body Works.  She also managed to have an explosion poop in Gap and got it all over her Christmas dress and stroller!  Ack!  Well all I can say is next year picture with Santa will not be in her Christmas outfit and thank goodness for oxy-clean!

Cereal… Yum?

1 week on cereal and Miss Brooklynn doesn’t think it is as fun anymore.  The first time we gave it to her and she loved it and gobbled it right up.  Now the last few days after 2 – 3 spoonfuls she has had it and lets us know it.  I have even tried giving her cereal before nursing her and same story.  She would rather nurse.  Well one more week of it once a day and then I will add it into her morning as well.  Maybe she will show more interest this week. (Hopeful!)

Our Very Own Photo Shoot

I got very creative today and designed my own photo studio right in my front room.  I am so excited how the pictures turned out.  Plus with my Adobe photo shop program I am able to do some neat effects.  Brooklynn was so happy and laughing almost the entire time.  She loved being in her diaper.  Once I put on her Christmas dress all she wanted to do was eat it.  So needless to say I didn’t get any good pics of her with her dress on.  Oh well I can not complain, I got some awesome pictures to choose from for our Christmas card and have some neat pics for her 5th month. I uploded the pictures to Flickr.
