Randoms - A little bit of Everyone!

Tucker with his muddy feet on my white stairs! lol I wouldn't let him in the livingroom, so he thought going to bed was a great idea.

To prove that I do still have the cats! lol
That's Brooke's book that she got from one of the Officer's Wives, it plays music and makes all kinds of noises when you push the buttons! lol She likes it.

Daddy and Brooke hangin out!

Me on a crabby day getting ready to go for a walk! lol

The bottle is propped up with her blanket...but I thought it made a cute picture!

Brooke can almost hold her own bottle, however, most of the time she moves her hands and drops the bottle, so then she starts crying! lol

She's still not very happy in this picture! lol

Jeremy was trying to catch Brooke's cute little pout. However, he was unsuccessful! It's harder to catch then a smile! lol

Almost 3 months since I had Brooke and this is what I look like today! lol At first I posed sideways as that's how I was used to taking my own pictures....then realized no need to stand sideways anymore!

r

Look What I Can Do!!!!

Brooke rolled from her tummy to her back today for the first time. And I was actually there to kinda catch it all with a camera, only I got too excited to take a picture of her actually in the last stage...laying on her back! lol

Step two: falling over! lol

Something Edmonton has that's Missing on the East Coast

Last night Jeremy and I dropped Brooke off with JP and Kelly and went out for the night. JP and Kelly had asked to keep Brooke all night. I was a bit nervous at first, but here it is 12pm and I'm able to type in my blog uninterupted. I do miss her, and Kelly did call this morning and I got a little weepy when I heard Brooke playing in the background, but we still haven't gone to get her yet.

What did we do might you ask?....well....we went to the Ivory Club for dinner and duelling Pianos!!!!! That's right...it's a piano bar. Altho, when I say Piano bar you might be thinking Mozart...you'd be wrong, they played everything from Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy to Justin Timberlake. They had a request for Eminem, but we left before they actually got to play it. The piano players sing the songs as well, and they ask for audience participation, so you are requested to join in on the songs! We had dinner before the show started, it was a buffet, and it was wonderful. I didn't take my camera with me, however I borrowed a picture from the website so you can get an idea of how the evening went. The website for the club is www.theivoryclub.com Check it out if you are interested, there are more pictures.

The bald guys name is Shane and he had a lot of energy! He played the piano while laying under neath of it, that was kinda cool. I'm not sure who the other pianist is in this picture, but I'm sure they were good too. You see the jar on top of the pianos, that's for their tips. If you request a song, you give them a tip as well, the bigger the tip, the more likely your song will get played quickly. You would not believe the amount of 20 dollar bills they got! lol All in all it was a good evening and Jeremy and I both agreed that it was worth the money and it was better then going to some dance club or bar.

I really wish my east coast friends were here to go with us to this bar, because I think they would all have a blast! Darcy could have showed some of the girls that were dancing, how rhythm makes the world of difference. lol All the singing along, and dancing...oohhh we'd have a blast I know it! lol Alast, I'll have to enjoy these times with Jeremy and maybe JP and Kelly sometime. If I can find other baby sitters! lol

Jeremy and I got all dressed up to go out. I wore the dress I got for the Christmas Dinner for Jeremy's work and he wore the suit he bought. Kelly grabbed some pictures of us, but I haven't gotten them from her yet. There is a family picture in there as well that she took, of all 3 of us. I'll add them in here once I get them from her.

Corporal Cutie

Here is an outfit that Fonda got for Brooke. Isn't it adorable?!?!

This is what I got for a smile, when I was coaching her saying "Where's mommy's smile?" This is what I got.

Jeremy walks behind me, does something and this is the response he got! lol Notice the difference! lol

I was playing with angles to see if I could get another good picture of her...I mean all her pictures are good, but I wanted something other then her sitting up or laying on her back. Which she is still doing in this picture, but it's different. I'm not sure if I like it tho.

Brooke's Thoughts: How dare Daddy walk by me and not say anything!!!

Brooke's thoughts: Seriously tho, Are we done with the camera yet? I'm tired of smiling!

Lovin Bath Time

I'm not sure if you remember the pictures from her first bath, but she was screaming her head off! lol Look at the difference now!

Where you going little one?! She's a bit squirmy as you can see!

She's loving the big bath tub...what a big girl...actually she looks so little in the big tub! lol

In this corner....

weighing in at 10 lbs 15 oz. We have Brooke Summer Lynn....lol

I had her in for her first needles today. They of course weighed and measured her. She is now 22 and 1/4 inches long. I can't believe people have babies this big! lol

The first time I published this post, I forgot to put this little paragraph in. I figure everyone is going to want to know how she made out with her needles...well she screamed! lol And cried! and I felt bad and had tears in my eyes, but we both pulled through pretty good. It didn't take me long to get her calmed down. And She's been sleeping most of the day since, which the nurse said she might do, more sleeping and maybe less eating, but that it should only last a couple of days and then she'll be back to normal.

Here is are some pictures of her I took today.

This is an outfit I got from the baby shower the Officer's Wive threw for Brooke. Isn't it adorable?!?!

Ok so the hat might be a little too big...just a little tho! lol

I think this is the first time that she's noticed her feet on her own...I've of course pointed them out to her...but she kinda noticed them herself today.

She's still not sure of the hands yet. She could spend hours just looking at them. lol Trying to figure out what they are supposed to do...lol They are pretty captivating as I can't get her attention to look at the camera! lol

Fishy Talk

This is Brooke's bouncy chair. This entertains her for long periods of time. I love this chair! lol
I took a video of her chatty away to the fishies! She's so adorable! lol Mom got to hear her chatting today when I was speaking to her on the phone. She loves to talk to her toys. I have a feeling she's going to be quite the Chatty Cathy when she gets old enough to make words!

Some more cute Brooke pictures

The whole reason for having a blog is to make it so people could stay up to date! lol I've been emailing all the pictures out and putting them on here...talk about overload! For me and for you guys. So here is some new pictures of my baby girl.


I got this outfit at a yardsale yesterday, it was so fuzzy and warm looking that I couldn't pass it up...besides look how cute it is! Cute as a bunny!

Today, I got Brooke a Jolly Jumper. Don't worry she wasn't in it for very long (only about 5 mins) and her feet don't quite touch the floor yet. She wasn't sure what to think at first.

But she came around to it! lol I think she's going to love this thing like I did!

This is what Brooke wore today to the baby shower that was put on by the Officer's Wives. The Puppy was a gift from on of the girls. It's actually quite cool, it has a magic bag inside that you can heat up and put back in the puppy and then it will help keep her warm. Pretty cool if you ask me. Ohh and isn't her dress adorable?! (It was another yard sale find!!!)

2 month old picture

Changes to the livingroom

Here are some pictures of our living room now. Jeremy and I decided that we had too much stuff in the livingroom and it looked cluttered so we went to Ikea and bought a new shelf. Since it was so big (the new shelf) we had to get rid of some of the stuff in the livingroom. We got rid of the entertainment stand, the book shelf, and the crappy chair. We put the new shelf on the wall where the couch was, and put the couch in front of the window where the entertainment stand used to be, we brought down one of the coffee tables we had upstairs and put the TV on it in the corner next to the new shelf. I, of course have some changes to make to the shelf to space things out better, but for now this is what it looks like. We've been looking at shelves like this for some time now...and yesterday they had one in the "As-Is" section at Ikea...it has a few scratches on it but we just put that side to the wall...and I think it works perfectly in the livingroom. Although, when we went shopping yesterday it was for stuff for the yard, some stepping stones, new garden tools, maybe some plants...and this is what we came home with! lol Ahh well, finally we got the shelf that we wanted.

Ok, so we haven't found a spot for everything yet....lol but we are working on it! The coffee table looks a little cluttered...but remember Jeremy was painting too...so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Brooke watching Daddy paint the door frame!

This is Jeremy hard at work putting the second coat of paint on the door frame. He's such a hard worker, when he puts his mind to it! lol

Brooke's New Toy!!

I went shopping the other day and finally spent some of the money Mammy gave Brooke. Mammy left instructions to get a playpen, a thing for the side of her crib or a Rocking Chair. I finally found the side of the crib mobile that I liked. Although, I am pretty sure that Brooke is going to LOVE fish...lol Her swing, bouncy chair and now crib toy all have fish!!! lol I personally don't care for fish! Their tanks stink, and are a pain to clean, but Jer wants fish...lol I keep telling him that they will die while he is gone. But some day, I have a feeling that I'm going to have these gorgeous blue eyes looking at me while the voice is saying "Mommy, can I have a fishy?" And when that day comes, I will likely just have to give in...at least eventually, once I have her and Jer both asking for fishies! ugh!

So Mammy, here is the side crib mobile thing that you got for Brooke! I hope it's what you had in mind when you suggested it.

It lights up, plays music, and the fish moves and the plants move and there are bubbles. It's quite the little toy! It plays for 10 mins...which is nice, and it has a remote control. And best of all, Brooke loves it! lol She enjoys talking to the fishies. However, once she has had enough, she's had enough, but sometimes I have to make it play twice...so that's 20 mins it keeps her occupied for! lol

And a picture of how everything fits into her crib.

Brooke Holding her first toy!

Ok so I might have helped her get it into her hand....but she held on to it for quite awhile!

First Propped up picture

Here is a picture of her propped up on the couch....taken the same day she was crabby...just happened to catch her in a not so crabby mood. lol

Why There has been no pictures of Brooke lately

I haven't taken many pictures of Brooke lately because she's been a bit crabby! So, I took a picture to prove it...because some people don't seem to believe that she can be crabby...lol I tell you live with her and you would have a good idea of how crabby she can be!

Look a Pretty Flower

On Saturday, Jeremy picked a flower from the yard and brought it in to me. I thought it would be a great opportunity to get some pictures of Brooke holding her first flower. Thank goodness she's not at an age where she eats everything she has in her hand! lol
