Does it ever seem like the oldest child has a bazillion photos taken of them when they were a baby and the rest of the kids got jipped? Being a parent, I can now understand why. Its not as if you love the 2nd any less, its just that you realize its not REALLY the coolest thing in the world when your baby sticks its fingers in its mouth. And you didn't really realize that 23 pictures per outfit is overboard. Or that other babies do the same thing as your baby. (That's why they are called "babies") So here is my point, while some may view it as not enough pictures were taken of the 2nd child....I think that way too many might have been taken of the first....maybe...or maybe not. That is the joy of being a parent! But I really didn't want Brooke to feel like we took so many pictures of Peter and none of her. So here are a bunch of pictures-just because- of Brooke.
(yes, her fingers and mouth have some sort of magnets on them...)
"PLEASE get me out of here Mom!"
The Mullet. Need I say more?
"What mullet?"
4th of July out in the humidity. It does wonders for her hair.
Look at my Buddha belly

Guess who? Not Brooke. Its me, Jamie at 3 months.
Jamie again! (but I think we do look a little alike)
Guess who? nope. Not Brooke. Not Jamie. Its Dawn! (aka Abby- Jamie's mommy!)That is some major resemblance!
Just for the record, (because I will forget all too soon) here is what she is doing these days. She has been sleeping from 9 pm-5am on the majority of nights. We still haven't perfected it but that's alright. She is nursing about every 3 hours during the day. Sometimes sooner. She hates tummy time. I doubt she will be rolling over anytime soon. She is full of smiles and giggles and just adores her older brother. She watches Petey ALL the time. She is very good at falling asleep on her own as long as she is swaddled. But she works REALLY hard to get her hands out. And then I have to put them back in for her to fall asleep again. She also is easy to travel with and will fall asleep in her car seat. Go Brookey!

Last but not least- This is Harold the Helicopter. He is bribery. Peter went #2 (for lack of a better word) in the potty yesterday for the very first time. Harold has been sitting on the window in the bathroom just waiting for Peter to do it so he could become the newest toy in Petey's collection! Wahoo! We are really far away from potty-trained, but its a start!
Yes, I know its already 'over' but that is the beauty of NETFLIX. And instant streaming on the PS3. I love it.
