REALLY?!?!?!?!

Seriously?! She's too little still... How can she already be standing up in her crib?! What is going on? Time to lower the mattress Daddy. This is Brooklyn in a nutshell - happy one second...

and really pissed off the next. Oh Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, what are we going to do with you?! Every time we think she's getting a little better with the fussiness, sleeping, etc... it feels like we take 5 steps backwards. I'm hoping this is just another stage to get through and we can blame it on teething, getting over her 1st cold, growing, something - and it won't be like this forever because if it is, Daddy and I are going to end up drooling with bibs on ourselves! Ugh - she is definitely teaching us about patience but in the meantime, our bodies are falling apart and we're exhausted! Ok - enough venting. We love her to pieces and she's such a happy baby when she's happy, but when she's not - watch out! Next post she'll probably be walking & we'll be sending her info to the Guinness Book of World Records for the youngest walker. This girl is a firecracker... where did her personality come from???

Sister Love

Brooklyn's happy! and thank you Auntie Janice for the cutest suits around!!!

The Slide in Action!

This was the very first night we got her pool. She couldn't even wait to get her bathing suit on!

Making the best of 111! (degrees that is!)

Since we've been stuck in the house all week and Brynn is feeling better, we brought out the pool today and set up the canopy to have some shade. First she had to fill up the pool.

Aren't I cute?!

She loves the slide!

She loves being able to lay down and kick her legs in this pool

She was even trying to do the back float and side stroke!

And... going forward is not enough for Brynn. 

Nope - we had to go down the slide backwards as well!

GIGGLES!

Keeping Busy...

The girls were both sick this week so we couldn't go to any of our usual play dates. Instead we spent a lot of time inside and made the best of it. Brooklyn discovered herself in the mirror and when she went in to give the baby a kiss, she smacked her nose so hard - poor girl! :(

Brynn worked on her painting skills...

Brooklyn was happy when Brynn took a nap because she couldn't wait to get her hands on Brynn's toys!

She loves this baby!

and they love each other!!!

CrAzY Kids!

Brynn has started to give horsey rides around the house and as you can see, Brooklyn loves it!

Uh oh - it's been discovered!

Here's Brynn showing her how to do it...

This is trouble - AND she is very close to being able to pull herself up on the side of the couch.  I guess she really wants to catch up to Brynn - quickly!

and... for just a moment, it escaped my mind how quickly Brynn can get the cap off of anything - no matter how tight! Here she was practicing with my waterproof mascara!
