5 months!

It is just amazing how fast this all goes! Brooke is getting to be a real moving active baby. She is not content to just sit and lay around anymore...she wants to be involved! :) She is still soooooo sweet and such a good baby girl!

• Brooke is now drinking formula. Since having the formula she has gained at least a pound. Woohoo!
• She has been sick most of the month so I was able to get her weight. 13.8 lbs! At her 4 month appointment she was 12.8 and the doctor wanted her to gain a bit more weight. There you go Dr. B. :)
• Brooke is also eating solids. Rice cereal for breakfast and Rice Cereal and Veggies for dinner. She wasn't thrilled with green beans but tonight she actually enjoyed the peas. Wierd.
• Brooke is ready for all her 6 month clothing. 
• She loves Nala and Cole. When they are running around she is content to watch them. She gets a big smile when Cole tries to play with her. 
• She loves when Cole jumps on her and tries to roll her around. Cole likes to be her babysitter.
• She is sitting up almost all the way by herself. She prefers to be sitting up.
• Her favorite laying down position is happy baby...so stinkin cute!
• Brooke is learning to go to sleep on her own...she is doing really well with it. 
• Brooke has finally went to the zoo and stayed awake. She didn't really see the animals but she was awake for it...hooray!
• Brooke spends lots of time with mommy during the day...I am her favorite...or my mom! I love when we are with my mom for a little arm break. My biceps are getting pretty huge though! 
• Brooke loves bath time and kicking her legs in the water.
• Speaking of kicking her legs...when we go into her room after she starts crying she starts kicking her legs and smiling at us. Adorable!
• BIGGEST NEWS...Brooke has a new playmate...baby Rylie!
• She should have a few teeth coming in.
• She isn't pooping through her clothes as much but when it happens it is A MESS.
• Her favorite game with me is riding on my legs or grabbing my cheeks and pulling my head to hers. I love it!
• She celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time...she slept through dinner!
• She likes to play ball...Cole is working on learning to roll the ball to her instead of chucking it! :) 
• 3 words to describe Brooke: Demanding (this month), Observant, Sweet

I am so thankful for Brooke. It is great to see her and Cole forming a relationship. I love knowing that God made her perfectly for our family. I can't wait to see what next month holds!
