Growing Up So Fast

Brooklyn had her Dr appt this week. She's 18.5 pounds and a little over 27 inches long.

For the past few weeks, she has been sitting up ALL BY HERSELF! She has really good balance too. She'll sit like this and play with her toys. She's gotten to where she can go 15 or 20 minutes without falling. She hasn't learned to sit herself back up yet, but she sure has mastered it when I sit her there.


And little missy is trying to crawl. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. She started this while we were on vacation. Just look at that concentration!

She hasn't quite figured out how to move the arms and legs at the same time. She's going to get it any day though. For now she army crawls all the way across the room. I guess it's time to start baby proofing the house.

We had a play date this afternoon with my friend Melissa and her son Brayden. They were so cute together. They rolled all over the floor and were holding hands.

Brayden is only 5 days older and look how much bigger he is. He weighs more and is taller, but Brooklyn has pudgier arms and legs.

I know it's a bit overkill with all the pictures of these two, but I just noticed something hilarious. This is the exact order I pulled the pics off my camera. Notice the blue toy phone Brayden is holding.

Brooklyn stole it away. (this was too sweet, they were watching the trees blow out the window and Brooklyn has the cutest expression on her face)

But wait, Brayden stole the phone back again... See Brooklyn's arm going after it?

And she steals it back. (Oh, and see how good Brayden is sitting up all on his own? He learned that from Brooklyn today. This was the first day he did it all by himself. I guess he couldn't have a girl show him up!)

We pulled her cups out to share with Brayden and of course they went straight to both mouths. Kurt said it looks like they were having a tea party!

Then Brooklyn was playing hide and seek under the coffee table.

And her day wouldn't be complete without doing some pull ups on the bar of the coffee table. Gotta work out those muscles!

By the time we got home, she was pooped and completely passed out!

She sure had fun playing with her friend!
