Tucker Sharing

I'm not sure how we did it, but we have taught tucker to share! lol

Sleeping in the Highchair!

Here's Brooke sleeping away in her highchair! Sooo cute!

How Brooke gets around

Brooke has all the sudden taken to crawling! She still pulls herself on her belly when she finds something she wants quick, but she has started to crawl a little bit. Sorry the video is so dark, it's before I decided to turn on all the lights and you have to catch her quick, because she moves so fast!

And of course her walking with her wagon. She likes to walk with it...however she does get stuck sometimes.

Helping Daddy

I had gone out to the store and I came back to see Brooke helping Daddy clean the bathroom. She's such a good helper!

Early Christmas Present

Jeremy is like a kid when it comes to Christmas presents. He always wants to open them right away. I always say no, but when it came to the present for Brooke that was from his Mom, I didn't feel I had the right to say no. It wasn't wrapped and we could see from the outside of the box exactly what it was, so I let Jer open it and put it together. She now has a wagon and she really likes it..she mostly likes to sit in it and have you push her around in it, but she likes it none the less...LOL

And the shirt is new, I found it on sale at Old Navy and had to have it. LOL Jeremy rolls his eyes at me when I buy her clothes, cuz we really have a lot of clothes, but I like to buy her things too! lol Jer thinks she looks like a boy in that shirt...but I think she just looks cute!

She's so proud of herself when she pulls herself up on things, which she does constantly now, she always scootches around the furniture...won't be long now and she'll be walking without holding on to anything! What a smart girl!

Brooke and Santa

I don't have a picture scanned to add to this so you'll have to take my word for it. LOL

A couple of weeks ago, I met up with an old friend who I grew up with in NB and she is now living on Vancouver Island, BC. Her baby, Chelsie is 6 weeks younger then Brooke. She had come to Edmonton and we decided to surprise our parents with a picture of the two babies with Santa Claus.

Now, Brooke doesn't normally play strange, but there are some people she likes and some people she doesn't....Santa is one that she doesn't. She was crying the whole time she was on his knee, and Chelsie, was smiling and laughing...quite the opposite reactions. The picture we chose tho, Chelsie doesn't look so sure about Santa either. lol

We took two sets of pictures before we found one that wasn't too bad.

Then the next week at Jeremy's Christmas party, (it was a family event) they had a Santa Claus there as well, so Jeremy took Brooke to see Santa...and again she cried when she was sat on his knee. Jer has the picture on his phone, but we haven't taken it off yet (I'm not sure he knows how...lol)

Wish I had a picture to go with this post, but maybe I can update or add it later.
