Almost Walking
Possibly a ballerina?? Maybe a figure skater?? Maybe just a dancer?? So much for trying to get her to walk on her own...she was more interested in her toes! LOL
So proud of herself!
I'm so sad at teh color in this photo. I really wish it had of turned out better, but it's the only one of her and Jer.
Brooke is most comfortable, and faster when she has a hold with both hands.
A typical day when I'm in the kitchen. She's always got me by the pant leg! lol Somtimes she almost pulls my pants down, if I just have on a pair of PJ bottoms, she'll nearly have my pants on the floor! lol
So proud of herself!
She's good when she doesn't realize she's not holding on! LOL but as soon as she notices there isn't a hand she's got a hold of she goes right down to her bum! In this picture she was more interested in getting to daddy and teh camera! lol I hope you guys take note that my hand her and her hand are not touching!!!

I'm Up and I can't get Down!
Brooke loves to climb the stairs, however she doesnt' know how to get down. She gets so upset when she gets up on one stair and can't get down, this of course usually happens when I'm busy trying to get supper ready and can't get right to her. She just fusses until I go get her. This picture doesn't really depict the faces that I've seen her make but she still looks a little upset.
Brooke VS the Doggy Door!
The Doggy Door in this corner! LOL
This is the look a 10 month old gets when she tries to open the doggy door and her fingers get stuck. LOL It's too cute really! It wasn't hurting her, she just couldn't get her fingers back in the house.
Van Craziness!
One day last week (the days run together on me....if I had to guess I'd say Tuesday lol) Jer called me at work early in the day. I figured he just wanted to talk, nope the van had just stopped on him. He hadn't dropped the baby off yet, he was still a bit away from the day home and he was worried about what he was going to do with the van. Both of us automatically thought, we'll just go buy a new van. I did however manage to talk Jeremy into taking the van to a mechanic shop, instead of to the house. All I could think of was "What are we going to do with the van once we get it there?!?!?!?" He got the ok from his work that he could take the day off and deal with the van.
That evening we decided to go have a look at new vans. Since the van is something we are likely going to own for 10 or more years, it would be a good to buy new and reliable. First we went to Ford, They aren't making mini vans anymore and have replaced the mini van with a Ford Flex. I tihnk it kinda looks like a hurse to me, but that was my opinion. Jeremy's ears opened up when the sales guy mentioned a built in fridge. LOL I do agree the fridge would be good for those long road trips for when we get posted to places all over Canada! But didn't think I should have to drive a hurse to get a fridge! and besides for years people have been using Coolers and they seem to work just fine!!!
Next we were off to GM. GM will no longer be making the Montana starting in 2010. Too bad because it was a pretty nice van, and they offered to take my car off our hands early. But we weren't looking at buying right away anyway, Jer wanted to see what warranties are available and of course overall cost of a new van.
After that we headed to Honda. Anyone who knows Jeremy knows he loves his forgein vehicles. Anyway, they have a gorgeous (as in I need it!!!!) mini van. I want it now, but once we sat down discussed price and everything, we were looking at a huge monthly payment on top of what we have now, as they wouldn't have taken my car off my hands, so I would have had to keep it and pay for it and the mini van until June. Not my idea of fun. lol
After our excursion, we headed home, in the car we discussed our plan. I told him to have the mechanic fix the van. That even though he loves to play around with the van and do work to it, that he really doesn't have the time to fix the things that need to be fixed. After we talked about it, and he agreed, he called the mechanic and had everything fixed that was a neccessity on the van. I told him we could do the repairs in a priority sequence. Heat....IMPORTANT!!! Starting...IMPORTANT!!!! Gear shifter working.....IMPORTANT!!! Speedometer working...Not as important as the other 3 I think you might agree with me there. lol
So the van got all the stuff fixed on it and we are set to go. Or so we thought! LOL
Thursday on my way home from work after I picked Brooke up, I was talking to Mom on the phone. I was almost home when I seen the van on the side of the road. I let mom go and stopped to see what was going on. My first thoughts was that it had stopped working again. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that the tire had blown out. Luckily Jeremy was ok and the vans only injury was the busted tire. We spent the night getting the van back on the road.
So far so good...but let's keep our fingers crossed that the van continues to work for a while yet! lol

No Pictures....Sorry!
So it's been two weeks since I have updated. Being back to work certainly has made my time go by quickly! Brooke is enjoying her baby sitter, but always has a huge smile on her face for me when I go to pick her up. Which always makes me feel good! lol
Last Saturday, Jer, Brooke and I took in an Oil Kings game at Rexall Place. It was my first time being there so I was quite excited. The game was pretty good. A little slow, but we all won free burgers from Wendy's as the Oil Kings scored over 5 goals during the game. The final score was 8-1 Oil Kings. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so I have no pictures of this at all! lol Brooke wasn't sure what to think of all the cheering, but she did get into the dancing towards the end of the game. But she was tired when we left, more then ready to head home! It was military appreciation night, plaques were exchanged speeches were given and the army reserve unit that is a band played some music before the game began. All in all it was a great night out for us!
On Sunday we went to do our normal running around and what not. Getting groceries and such.
Then back to work all week for us! It was a quick week for me Jer didn't have any complaints either...so all in all a good work week.
Saturday, Jer and I went to the Goodwill store (which was packed by the way) and we stopped at another thrift store along the way. Jer wanted to get some more pants for Brooke that still had the feet in them, I found a couple of pairs there so we got those and the rest of the time was spent browsing. Ohh yes, we did go to the mall. I have a babyshower to go to today for one of the Officer's wives and I had to go get something for that. I found some things on the sales rack at Please Mum and that's what we got. today on my way to the baby shower i have to stop and get a bag for the goodies, as i forgot one yesterday.
That's all my updates for now...hopefully next week i'll have pictures

Fun in the Snow!
Jer was playing with the settings again. He had the camera set to take so many pictures in a min or something. He got some good shots of Tucker playing in the snow! This setting will come in handy when Brooke is more mobile! Look at his nose all covered in snow! haha!
A dogs life to bury your head in the snow and not freeze to death! LOL I'm not sure if all dogs are like this but Tucker loves to put his nose right in the snow!
Jumping and playing in the snow!
These two really are going to be the best of friends! lol And Brooke loves her outdoor time!
The Family on the New Camera
Here is Tucker enjoying his new toy. He now has the rope completely off the tire and it's just the tire. We have instructed him that it's an indoor only toy, but since we have gotten him a doggy door hard to say how long it will be before he gets it outdoors to play with! lol
"whaaaa???" LOL some of the cute faces that she makes!
A good picture of Daddy and Brooke. I was playing around with the new camera and this shot just happened to come out good!
Jer was playing with the settings on the new camera and got this picture of Nellie. Everything is kinda blurry except for her. It's a good picture of her, but that's only because she isn't looking at the camera. She's not usually photographic! lol
Wink, Since I had pictures of everyone else I thought I should include Wink as well. She normally doesn't mind having her picture taken, but she doesn't look very happy in this one...maybe because it was like the 5th picture?!?! lol
Brooke looks like she's wanting out of the play pen! haha! But that's how she stands up in it...pushes against the sides to get up! Of course Tucker is close by....afterall Jer had the camera in hand! haha!
Brooke playing in her play pen! Notice she has Aunt Bev's bear. Aunt Bev gave her that bear as a shower gift and Brooke has just recently taken to it like glue! Maybe it will be her "Teddy"???

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.
