Happy 2 Month Birthday!!

Brooklyn is 2 months old today!!! Where on earth has the time gone?? She loves to lay on her back and kick and squirm. She is slowly but surely getting better at tummy time and somewhat enjoys being on her tummy (still not a favorite place). She is smiling more and more each day. We think she is beginning to tell us stories...some are long and others short. Her "coos" and "oohs" are so fun to listen to! She loves to lift her head up and look around...it is still a bit heavy and bobbles around, but she lifts it whenever possible. We are spoiled with her excellent sleeping skills!! She is sleeping from about 11 o'clock until just around 8...we usually wake up when Daddy does for work!! She has also begun taking a few naps during the day....we are still practicing with those...but getting better!! We are also blessed that she doesn't mind putting herself to sleep...and seems to be pretty good at it! She just looks around for a while listening to white noise and before we know it she is conked out!

2 months old!!

We went to Lake Texoma and Marietta, Oklahoma for Mame's services the end of October. She had fun in the cold weather at the lake. She was able to watch her Daddy fish and go for a ride in the stroller by the lake.

Bundled up in the cold!!

Taking notes on how to fish with Daddy :)

gorgeous sunset...

The house Mame and Aunt Jo grew up in...Marietta, Oklahoma

Going back home....riding in the car

Last week she helped (or watched) Mommy and Daddy carve her first pumpkin. She was a great supervisor. She got all decked out in her Halloween outfit, from head to toe! We didn't have a costume this year, but we learned she sure looks cute in orange!!

Tick or Treat?

This past weekend we went to New Braunfels for Wurstfest. It wasn't the same this year, but she had fun and has now experienced one of our family traditions! She had more fun during the day when it was bright outside. She people watched from her stroller. We went back and night and she napped through the loud German music. Sunday morning I took her to Landa Park with my parents where she rode David's train (the same man who ran the train when I was little!!). She made all sorts of sounds and talked to us...she definitely liked the wind on her face and looking around. She loves being outside. Last but not least my Mom and I took her to JC Penny today to have her 2 month picture taken...they turned out super cute!! Much better than her 1 month pictures (the baby acne was a bit bad at that time in her life). Brooklyn also visited her Daddy at work today and brought him Subway for lunch! It made his day!

Sharing one of my favorite memories with Brooklyn...the train will become a tradition

Brooks and I were just talking tonight about how 3 people live in our house now...and how we can't remember it any other way. It just feels right and we truly love her more and more every day. It is definitely a wonderful experience and we wouldn't trade it for the world. She is absolute perfection. She couldn't have come into our lives at a better time.
