Our little Brooke is 6 months old now! She is growing up too fast for me for the most part. I only can't wait until she starts sleeping through the night. I think I mention in almost every post how tired I am...sorry! She still doesn't sleep much more than about 2 hours at a time. The crying method does not work. She would go forever if we let her. Then she gets so mad us and holds a grudge like no other. That should be fun when she is a teenager :)
But I will miss her as my baby. She is our most cuddly one, and I still love that. She still LOVES to be hold, but now that she can sit up (YAY!) she plays much better and is a more pleasant baby. Brooke loves her siblings so much, and they still love her just as much. The first thing Dallin and Alyssa do when they wake up is look for Brooke. She almost always has smiles for them. She also loves her daddy and mommy! She is starting to giggle a lot more, but I haven't been able to catch it on camera. I think Dallin and Alyssa make her laugh the hardest! She loves playing with her toys and is starting to love the jumperoo. She doesn't like her baby swing very much, but she loves to swing outside on the playset.
Since I haven't posted for awhile about her, these pictures are from the last 2 months. Our pretty little girl all ready for church.

Sitting up when she first started! She started sitting up a couple days after she turned 5 months old, and she is so proud of herself.

Since she can finally sit up, we switched her to her new bath. She loves it! She loves getting to splash as much as she wants.
She loves to be outside. She can be so crabby, and then we walk outside and she is as happy as can be. I don't think she really likes the cold though.
We started her on solids at 5 months too. She has had oatmeal, prunes, sweet potatoes, peaches, squash, and rice. The only thing she will eat is rice. The others she hates. She also likes ice cream :) She still isn't very good at swallowing, but she is getting better. I still have hope she will at least be a little better than Alyssa when it comes to eating solids.
She does smile A LOT! Everyone always comments about how much she smiles.
She likes to be a big girl in the cart at the stores.
Brooke and Alyssa love to "help" me fold laundry :)
She finally rolled over from her tummy to her back yesterday. She only did it twice, and now can't figure it out again. She is not very close to rolling from her back to her tummy, but she HATES being on her stomach so she doesn't try very hard.
She had her 6 month check up yesterday. She was 14.1 lbs (14%), 25 " (22%) long, and her head is 15.75" (almost 2%). She is not very big, but she is growing along the same curve. The doctor said she looked healthy and great. She got 3 shots and cried for about 30 seconds. Much tougher than the times before :)
We love our Brooke so much!
