9 months

    Brooke will be 1 yr old in two months. I swear like always its going way too fast. She is the cutest smiley girl. Mastered crawling, she can stand unassisted for long periods of time, she can walk with her push walker and likes to do it a lot since its a new thing right now. She has always been so sweet and still is, but the other side of sweet is starting to show. She will make a growling, gurgling sound when she gets upset usually when I need to change her and she doesn't want to be sat down and still!

  She says mama and dada a lot, more so dada, especially when I say mama to her in order for her to say it, shell look at me and say dada, then smile, its like she knows what she's doing to me! She started to get up at 3am and not sleep until I would have to get her a bottle, but we had to train her to go to sleep without a bottle, I know that it was the wrong thing to do, I know its recommended not to send baby to bed with bottles, but it is what was easiest on mommy and baby. So with only a weeks training she learned to put herself to sleep without a bottle. Happy both my girls seem to adapt really well to changes (although they adjust well, the path getting there is not all smiles).
    Just a couple days ago she learned to give her first kisses, sweetest thing ever, she does the open mouth and presses against your cheek, she waves bye bye at times, except her fists are facing her instead of you. Still Sophia's shadow for the most part, but has learned and seems to enjoy playing by herself too. Love her much, she has her 9month check up coming next week although she is now 10 months! Way to be late mom.
