Brooklyn! Six months!

Time has been flying by it seems and Brooklyn is growing so big! We had a doctors appointment on monday and here are her six month stats!

 Height: 25.5 in             39%

 Weights: 16.69 lbs       63%

 HC:  17.5 in                93%

 

Brooklyn like all of our kids loves to stand and laying is no longer enjoyable 

so we pulled out the walker and she has been scooting around the kitchen

  

 She is such a good sport about everything! 

The boys do everything to her, poke her, scare her, scream happily at her but she doesn't seem to mind as much as i thought she would! She really is growing to love the boys and there craziness!

 

 I still nurse, but i have recently been out of the house more often and unable to feed her so Brandon gives her formula and she doesnt seem to mind at all which is so nice.

 She even has started holding her own bottles which is wonderful!

 

The problem with the fact that Brooklyn likes to stand she really doesnt enjoy sitting she can as you can see 

 but she wants to stand so bad that once she starts sitting she will fling her legs out in attempt to stand and as you can imagine it doesnt turn out well :)

 

She is such a happy little girl, but she is getting a small case of stranger anxiety which i hate!!!

 

I just got released as the 1st councilor in the young womens presidency and they put me in as the laurel class advisor and all of the girls are super excited to have brooklyn in class so hopefully she gets us to the girls quick :/

 She loves grabbing at things right now cameras, peoples faces, food, cell phones, but she is not quite good enough to hold them for more then a few seconds.

 These are the pictures that i look at and i have a hard time telling kids a part, she looks so much like Hayden to me!

 They both have the same big eyes round head and smile!

 The boys we started on rice cereal as soon as they turned four months and they loved it!!!

 

I just expected that she would be the same but she really didnt seem to like it she actaully started crying because she did not want me to feed her any more :( 

 

i guess we will wait to try again?

 This is my favorite thing about brooklyn her smile! Well, i am not quite sure if you can call it a smile but that is what she is doing! 

When she gets really excited and happy she opens her mouth as big as she can and i love it! She is my adorable little girl!

Brandons 28th Birthday

This year was an interesting birthday for Brandon :) He really wanted a hydration belt (he sweats so much that long distance running is getting dangerous without him drinking!), new shoes, and there was a relay race that he was wanting to run. So being the wonderful wife i am i go him i hydration belt and let him run in the Ruby Mountain Relay! Well the relay was the weekend before his birthday and he need the hydration belt to run! He also got new shoes from his parents so they gave them to him early so he could use them in the race so the day of his birthday was kind of sad since he already had opened all of his present. I decided to make him a cookie dough ice cream cake so we had that to eat but other then that it was a uneventful birthday! 

 Every birthday they boys insist that use the Lightening Mcqueen candles and we only have five so that is what we used!

Brandon's relay was the weekend before but we don't have any pictures from it! It lasted 24hrs and they had 7 runners that each did about 20 miles! Brandon (and our children) sadly came down with hand-foot-mouth disease the day before the race so he has a hard time running more then 16 miles because of the sores on his feet :( but other then that he had a great time!
