Brooklyn at 9 months

Brooklyn is now almost 9 1/2 months and I thought for my records I'd post what she is up to. She started full blown crawling at 8 1/2 months, just before Christmas (thanks to her wanting to get the Christmas presents). She is now a very fast crawler and stands up on everything and will walk around things as well. She has great eyes as she can find the smallest spec on the floor and put it in her mouth. She loves her sisters and loves to laugh. She had a great first Christmas and got some fun loud toys. She has found some baby dolls and loves them. She likes to pull and eat hair (yuck!). Her Mohawk at the top of her head is getting thinner and longer, making it look not quite as cute. She won't keep a clip in it too long, but we still try some days. She has started to eat solids again and is loving the green beans and squash. She's allergic to all the baby cereals. Brooklyn is just over 17 pounds and just had her 3rd ear infection, 3 rounds of pink eye. Hopefully we've got her taken care of now---we are regulars at the doctor's and pharmacy with all three kids. She has 2 bottom teeth. Her favorite (or should I say our favorite thing for her to say) is Uh Oh, which she repeats when anyone says it. She'll wave bye and say mama and dada and mimic many other sounds. She does not sleep through the night and dosen't have a great nap scedule either. Brooklyn is a lot of fun and getting to be a lot of work keeping mom on her feet with keeping everything picked up off the floor before Brooklyn finds anything. When Brooklyn gets mad or someone takes something from her she will put her head down and scream and pout like the world is against her. We love having Brooklyn in our family!

I'm glad she's eating a little better...

you guys have been busy! I can't believe it's already been well over a month since we last saw you guys.

I love all the fun pictures...
do you have any you can send me from Grandad's funeral? (since we forgot our camera battery we have to leech pictures off everyone from our whole month in Utah).
