No Fair

Sooo I am a little late with my post, but I have been busy. We went to the St Paddy's Day parade this psat weekend and Brooke loved it. Then on Monday we went to the doctor because she was feeling rotten and she got her finger pricked...No fair she said because she was wearing green. We also did a little yard work, had to mow our grass and I weeded the flower beds and got a sunburn....I know I know only 2 post ago it was snowing and now a sunburn, gotta love this wonderful Louisiana weather. Here are some pics.

9 month / Easter Pic

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days. I am so busy at work and the weather has been so beautiful the last few days, that when I get home I grab the stroller and go for a stroll. We went Sunday and took Brooke for her 9 month/Easter Pictures. We went to portrait innovations(love that place) they took 101 pics so I have included some of my favorites. My MOST favorite is her in the sailor dress on the ABC boxes with her tongue out....love it. I will try and catch up soon.

This Crazy Louisiana weather

Soooo living in Louisiana we are used to pretty crazy weather but yesterday and today take the cake....hmmm lets see yesterday 72 and sunny today 35 and 2 inches of snow so far. Of course it is melting as it hits the ground but it is crazy crazy. I wish it would have been cold enough to stick so I could have had a snow day with my baby girl. Here is a picture I got off of the Shreveportimes website.

Hi Ho...Off to work we go!!!!

Well we are all starting to get well...I think. So had an OK weekend. I worked Saturday, I have to work a Saturday maybe once every 11 weeks or so from 9-12 so its not bad and I have not been to my office in 3 weeks because I have been Downtown training a new employee for that Branch. Well Chris had made an appointment to get one of our dogs groomed and was nervous how he was going to handle both the dog and Brooke in the car...so I rescued him and took her to work with me. She had fun and actually took a loonnng nap on my floor on her playmat...for an hour. Here are a few pics of the day.

I wish my desk could look like this everyday

In Training.

Heres your sign

Someone figured out how to get into the wipes

Sucessful!!

But Mom I was getting it for you!!

Seriously for you.

Big Trouble!!!

So I pick Brooke up from Ms. Irma yesterday and Ms Irma tells me that Brooke rolls/ scoots from the living room to the kitchen and was having the best time doing it. Ms Irma turns around after hearing Brooke grunt and somewhat fuss to find that she has made it over to her carseat and got her bottle cooler that I send her bottles in every morning out of the carseat(Ms Irma takes the bottles out when I get there and puts them in the fridge, then puts the empty bag in her carseat so it all stays together)...anyway Brooke makes it over to the bag and puts it on her head like a hat...little scary and cute all rolled into one. I pray every day that God will give me peace about leaving her for someone else to take care of. Ms Irma is wonderful and has kept children for 30 years...but I have hard time relinquishing control. I plan on taking a picture tonight with the cooler on her head so you can get the full effect. When Ms Irma walked over to her...she looks up at her and laughs in amusement at her silly self. You got to watch her like a hawke and she has not even mastered the crawling thing yet...but she is getting there.

Ear Infection

Man we just can't get past these ear infections. Brooke was really fussy Sunday and Monday night so yesterday we took her back to the doctor and she still has an ear infection....after 10 days on antibtiotics. Her Doctor switched us to a stronger antibiotic hoping this will do it this time. And of course some recent pics of her with her teething book...we LOVE this book.

I love those cheeks.

Reading / chewing our book.

On the Move

Well we have started trying to crawl. Brooke really likes the sound of her hands slapping the floor. Our floors are slick with her pants so most of the time she slides, so we bought a new playmat that is very colorful and she seems to like it a lot. I have included some pictures of her playing and trying to crawl.
