I tried to fit Buggy into her Bumbo for the first time in awhile... needless to say, she BARELY fit in there. She's always gotten her legs stuck in them, but now she was hanging out everywhere! It was pretty cute :)


I know I cut her feet off, but they are basically touching the floor in this picture

My mom, Auntie, cousin Emily and Jan

Mum Mums!

We got the OK from Brooke's doctor to introduce "Baby Mum-Mums" -- here are pictures from her first experience!

(Side note: we went for Brooke's H1N1 follow up shot. She weighs 21.10lbs -- up 1 pound from her 6 month check up when she was 20.14lbs.)

It went straight into her mouth

And started dissolving...

Finally started to look at what she was holding/eating/playing with

What the crap is this?!

Smile!

Close to crawling :)))

For the past couple of weeks, Brooke has been lifting herself on all fours and rocking back and forth. I'm pretty sure she's going to crawl soon, but I've read it can take weeks after they start rocking before they actually crawl. We're not in any rush or anything, but it's exciting!


Rocking back and forth

On all fours!

Reaching for Zoe... pretty sure the dogs are not happy about the latest development

Almost got her!

Zoe finally getting up to walk away...

Christmas dinner

Here is Brooke's outfit for Christmas (j/k. . . we added the tutu on just for pictures. It is way too tight for her now)

Love my tutu!

Yayyyy!

Mommy & daddy practicing smiling without teeth (Don't ask...)

Christmas Eve family pictures

Here is GPA, GMA and Auntie Nicky showing Brooke a book they bought for her (they recorded their voices so that when you open the book, you don't even have to read it!)

Family portrait . . . Vance's great-grandma made it to dinner! (in front, wearing white)

GPA & GMA Harris

Brooke's great-great-grandmother!

Great-great-grandma, great-grandma, daddy & grandma :)))

Christmas lights

We didn't go to Honolulu Hale to check out the christmas lights, but we did go light searching around our hometown... maybe next year we will make it down to city hall to look at the lights!

Yay, friends!

Most of my friends live on the mainland & their visits home are few & far between. But this Christmas, they all managed to come home! Here's some pictures from their latest visit...

Christmas shopping

My mom is off on Christmas break, so I have someone to hang out with :) (Well, besides Brooke, Buddy & Zoe of course). We went to pearlridge to finish Christmas shopping and ended up watching the little train ...

Grandma and Buggy

Can't believe how tall my little one is getting!

Mommy & Brooke

Buggy's first Christmas present!

Yep. . . we opened a Christmas present early. Vance justified this because the weight limit for the jumperoo is 25 lbs and at our last appointment (a month ago), my little chubster was 21 whopping pounds! Therefore, we better get as much use out of this sucker as we possibly can. Of course, from what I've heard, weight gain will start to taper off from here on out, so we'll see...

Vance actually reading directions. Had to capture this moment on camera.


Pretending . . . he's a construction worker, he better know how to put together a jumperoo!

Yipee!!!

This is SO much fun :)

Okay, get me out of here already

SEVEN MONTHS!

((Edit: 7 month pictures take two))
I decided to try again with the 7 month pictures... STILL not the best, but oh well, what can ya do when the baby doesn't want to cooperate?!

Trying to reach for my camera again

You can see her sweaty little hair, ha!

Trying to pull the sticker off

Aaaaand eating the sticker!

Here are Brooke's seven month pictures. Time is going waaay too fast. I couldn't get a good picture of her... she has discovered my camera case and is constantly reaching for it. :(

See? Lunging for my camera

She also realized that the numbers on her onesie were stickers... and can be pulled off and played with...

How it ended! Haha
