Petting Zoo

Aunt Rosa told us that Tree of Life bookstore was having a free petting zoo today and if Brooke wore her Halloween outfit we got 10% off our purchases...so Mommy jumped at that! :-)
Brooke loves animals right now so we knew this would be a lot of fun!

Isn't she the cutest little Care Bear you've ever seen?

Look at that face! I think she just got a goat kiss!!!

Brooke knows all about zebras...they live in her jungle room with her!

She loved those mini goats...and they loved her!

Brooke's friend, Hannah, came home from college for the weekend and met us at the petting zoo...the new boyfriend came home to meet the family as well! Tim, you're a brave man!

Pumpkins

Last night we took Brooke to pick out her first pumpkin. I think Daddy thought it was a bit cheesy but we went anyways. :-) She certainly did not like the hay but enjoyed smacking the pumpkins. We can't wait 'till Halloween - she's going to be a Care Bear!

Fall in downtown LS

We stopped yesterday at a pretty fountain area in downtown Lee's Summit. There were a ton of these gorgeous yellow and orange mums planted around the fountain. Brooke was more into the putting her hands in the water than getting her pix taken. Not surprising! But we still got a couple keepers!

Photog blog

In a shameless plug for myself... :-)
I now have another blog for my photography business...check it out at www.photographybytuckdesigns.blogspot.com.
I will update it everytime I have a new shoot!

New jammies!

Yesterday Nana stopped in for a few hours and brought new pajamas for Brooke. She wore one of them last night so I caught a couple cute shots in them this morning!

Thanks to Judy B. for this adorable giraffe chair in Brooke's room!
Love the dramatic lighting!

SHE WALKS!!!! Well, pretty close. She still crawls a lot of the time, but will walk from one side of a room to the other. We've really enjoyed watching her learn to walk and gain her balance!

Showing everyone her giraffe chair...she loves it!
Longing to be outside? The weather is finally beautiful here and we're airing out Brooke's room!

10 months

Brooke is now 10 months old so we took fun bubble pictures! She is doing some many new, exciting things and we are having a blast watching her learn new things every day!
She is soooo close to walking everywhere. 8 steps is about her max right now but you can tell she really wants just RUN!
