Brooke is 9 MONTHS!!

I can't believe how big my baby is getting. To say that the past few months have gone by fast would be an understatement! It seems that I love every stage Brooke goes through and I have so much fun with her. This past month she has accomplished so much. She learned how to clap, dance, stand up, stand up and walk supported by objects, she says Mom, Dad, Hi, Wow, and she even started to say her name. I don't think she knows she is saying her name but she sure likes saying it. She loves to shake her head no, which cracks me up, because it seems she does it at all the right times. Can a baby already understand what a head shake is?? She finally had her first tooth appear after way too many months of teething, and she is soon to have another one any day now. She loves to play and explore and the Christmas Tree has been a big hit with her too. She follows me all over the house and now that she can stand up, I love that she can come over to me and pull herself up on my legs when she wants to be held. She really loves her Daddy, and already recognizes the sound of the door opening when he comes home from work and she gets excited because she knows it's him. She is such a fun and sweet baby, and I love having her in my life. Here are a few cute pictures that I took in the last week.
