Brooke's Birthday Spotlight


Brooke is such a fun little girl and we are so blessed to have her in our family. She inherited "The Stare." When she first sees someone she doesn't know, she just stares at them, trying to figure them out. I think it can get pretty intimidating. Once you get past that, you get to see how cute her personality is.

Brooke loves to be tickled, thrown in the air, and played with. She loves to play Peek-A-Boo and is always putting things over her face. She likes to talk on the phone, loves yogurt and ice cream, and climbs on everything. There is no obstacle too big. If something is on the floor, Brooke tries to climb on it or over it. Even if it is just a book, she has to stand on it. May be it makes her feel taller.

Brooke loves to touch different things. We have some touchy-feely books and she'll read those and knows exactly where all the places are to touch. She's always rubbing her hand on the back of your shoulder, or touching chairs, couches, walls, carpet, anything that might have a different texture. She is also a big tease. She'll growl at you and then crawl away, but always stops and turns around to make sure you're following her. She'll steal toys from Jax and take off as fast as she can, laughing. She loves looking at and touching people's faces.

Brooke wants so bad to be able to keep up with her big brother and sister. She loves them, and she loves Cole. She gets so excited to see him in the mornings and loves to pet him. Sierra can always make her laugh and Jax is still learning to tolerate her when she knocks over his trains. She always wants to do what they are doing and she watches and learns from them. She tries to play the Wii and recognizes the theme songs to all the cartoons they watch.

She loves music and likes to dance. She's busy, busy, busy, and into everything. She climbs out of her high chair and won't sit down long enough to eat her food. She is such a runt, that we can put it as tight as it goes, and she can still worm out of it. She is small, but she's fiesty, and you don't want to make her mad, or she'll give you the cold shoulder. Brooke is fun to be around and she'll steal your heart. We are so glad to be her parents and love her to death.

Hey guys! Thanks for the congrats. :) Whenever is good for you with the gift is probably good with us. I could probably come into Seagull sometime and get it from you so you wouldn't have to come all the way down if you want. Just let me know what works. :)
