8 months old

Yesterday Brooke turned 8 months old. We had family here and took some pics at Unity Village!

Ian's baseball game

This summer we have spent several evenings at Legacy Park watching our friend Ian Simpkin's play baseball. Brooke is a BIG fan. Last night was Ian's last game, so I took the camera and caught some cool shots. Ian even got to pitch part of one inning! Good job, Ian, we're proud of you!

St. Charles

Brooke & Mommy met Nana & Pops in St. Charles for a fun-filled weekend of shopping, walking, site-seeing, playing and laughing...here are some highlights!

7 months today

Today Brooke is 7 months old! The last month simply flew by and sooooo much happened. Brooke now crawls, talks, screams (well, that's not new) and is just starting to show interest in pulling herself up. Thank you Aunt Rosa for the pretty green and white dress!

Go, Aunt Rosa!!!

Aunt Rosa is currently training for the MS150. This past weekend she rode in a race supporting the American Diabetic Assocation in honor of our mom...Brooke's Nana. We are very proud of her and can't wait to see her cross the finish line!!!! Go get 'em, Aunt Rosa!

Ft. Worth & the Kimballs!

This past week Aunt Rosa, Mommy & Brooke went crazy!!! We flew to Dallas Tuesday morning and flew home Wednesday evening. We went to visit some good friends - John & Linda Kimball & Scott, Jacinda & Isaiah Kimball. It was a blast seeing them again and visiting some cool places in Ft. Worth.
Mommy & Brooke trying out cowgirl hats - they stayed in Ft. Worth!!!
Riding a longhorn...we were glad it didn't decide to "use the facilities!!!"
John, Linda & their grandson - Isaiah!
All our crazy travels wore poor Brooke out!!!

Swimming

Well, since these were requested by Nana - here are some pics of Brooke's first swimming excursions! She loves the water and moves constantly while in it...which isn't surprising since she moves constantly out of the water! :-)
We were surprised and happy to have visitors at the pool Thursday night...we got to spend a short time with good friends Karen & Gerald Gleason and since I know she'll see this...it was good to see you guys again!
