10 months


These last 10 months have been the best of my life! Brookelynn is seriously the cutest little thing. We have been busy, busy this month and will post more picture of our adventures but I wanted to make sure I wrote about what my little baby doll is up to these days.
Button, Button, Brookelynn Loves Buttons
She's a sucker for buttons to push. She loves to find them, see what they do and then do it again! Her toys, the remote, and pens that click are her favorites. She looks for buttons everywhere, in the books we read if there are small objects, like marbles, she pushes them see if they will do anything. She even has found that a few of Daddy's moles really are buttons. Who knew?
Good Morning Books
Brookelynn loves to read books any time of the day but she squeals for them in the morning. As soon as I pick her up she looks at the stack of books on the night stand and then reaches and sequels. We read the whole stack every morning. She especially likes the little lamb book right now. We have our routine down pat including singing, Mary had a little lamb, bah bah black sheep, playing peekaboo with the mama lamb, hopping like a frog, bahing like a sheep, bouncing like a bunny, dancing to the "music", and waving bye bye. I'll have to post her bah sound. I just love it!
Dancing Baby
While Brookelynn is cruising around the furniture she likes to dance as she goes. She'll dance to about anything if you dance with her but it has to be something she likes to dance on her own... which is pretty much anything since she dances to my singing. :) Her holiday favorite is jingle bells and loves to shake the bells as much as she shakes her booty.
Playing Games With Daddy
Don't get me wrong Brookelynn will play games with anyone, but she loves to play them with her Daddy. Nate makes up games with her all the time and Brookelynn is quick to learn how it is played and loves every minute. When you play a game that has turns, and you wait too long Brookelynn will pick up your hand to let you know it's your turn.
Favorites
Bath time (still), D the dog (still), crackers, mirrors, people, people, people, games, going and doing, looking at pictures of her or people she knows, (especially watching our family pictures with music), pushing buttons, kids, socks (not taking them off just crawling holding on to one or two), books, playing toss, dancing, waving to people... even better when they wave back, being tickled at night, eating, and singing songs with actions.

PS: Thanks Aunt Zhalore for the cute Christmas dress.
