Lots of FIRSTS for Brooklyn

We've had quite a bit of firsts these days (and having so much fun with each of them). I am so happy to be a stay at home mommy and enjoy all of these moments with my baby girl!

Brooklyn's FIRST hiking trip:

My dad called one afternoon and said he wanted to take his dogs for a hike, so I strapped Brooklyn on my chest in the Baby Bjorn and we hiked to the top. I was a little out of breath since I'm just now able to start working out again after the c-section, but we made it. Brooklyn was a trooper and slept the whole way up.


Brooklyn's FIRST trip to the zoo:


Does this look like a girl who's having fun or what? I just love that smile! I dressed her in her giraffe outfit because it was perfect for a trip to the zoo!


Here are the zebras wrestling.


Feeding time at the zoo! For Brooklyn that is!


The orangutans.


Brooklyn's FIRST trip out to lunch. Well, this only shows her in the carseat on the way. I didn't actually have the camera in the restaurant. We went for chinese with Kurt's mom and sister.


Brooklyn's FIRST time sitting up all by herself:


Oh, I guess she had a little help from the bumbo chair huh? :) heehee




Brooklyn's FIRST playdate at her friend Brayden's house:
For only being 5 days older, Brayden is a big boy! Look at his foot compared to Brooklyn's. So much bigger!


And here they are laying next to eachother. Brayden is much longer too.



I don't know a whole lot of babies that like getting their diaper changed, but my little girl sure loves it. She smiles every time and just stares at me and talks to me. She gets her arms and legs going like she's gonna fly away. I crack up every time.


And finally, here is Brooklyn hanging out with her Daddy!


Next week we will be taking Brooklyn for her FIRST trip to the snow when we go to Colorado with my parents. Stay tuned for more pics!

Ohhh Shannon, she has changed so much since the last pictures I saw of her!! She is so cute and precious. You are such a loving wonderful Mamma. Babay Bjorn was my favorite thing in the world. I used it all the time and my babies loved being in it so I could go anywhere with that thing. I will be checkin back for pictures of the snow!

I love all the firsts. I really should take more pictures. Your little princess is getting so big. Even just from being at the Crooks over new years. She's grown so big. Hope the trip to Colorado goes well. Kathryn was a great traveler when she was a baby. So hopefully you won't have any problems. Miss ya
