The Windows to Her Soul

I love Brooke’s eyes. They are beautiful. And they are big. In fact, they are so big that nearly everyone who sees her comments on them. Strangers in the store are captivated by (and sometimes scared of) them.

Exhibit A

Here is Brooke on Christmas Day. Aren’t her eyes lovely?

I will admit that her eyes do get a little out of control. I mean, most people can open their eyes and show all of the pupil and maybe even most of the iris, but not everyone can reveal the white ABOVE the iris.

Exhibit B

She’s been like this ever since she was a baby.

Exhibit C

This is one of her first pictures.

Here her cousin Maggie is holding her when she was just a couple of months old.

Even though Brooke gives us ample opportunities to see her eyes, I still haven’t quite figured out what color they are.  Green?  Yellowish-blue?

However, Friday morning when Brooke woke up, I knew at least the color of one eye.

Pink.

On Sunday her other eye decided to join in on the fun.   Ugh.

Fun in Nebraska

, 1

Last weekend while Dallas was in California filming a UVSC hockey game, Brooke and I went to Nebraska to visit my brother Jacob, his wife Laurie, and their family. We drove with my Dad the whole way. That was a long time in the car, but Brooke was a champ. She did a fantastic job. We had fun in Nebraska going out to eat, shopping, and seeing my brother’s baby get blessed.

This is what Brooke did while I was packing for the trip. Little rascal.

Here’s Brooke meeting her cousin Luke for the first time. I know what you’re thinking. Luke looks pretty big for a newborn. Well, he isn’t exactly a newborn. He’s over four months old. I know what you’re thinking. Didn’t I say earlier we went out so he could be blessed? Well, Laurie ended up having crazy medical issues and was in and out of the hospital for the first few months of Luke’s life and she’s been recovering at home since then. She finally feels better and last weekend was the best time some of the family could get together for the blessing. I would refer you to their blog for more information, but according to their blog, it’s still November. I know what you’re thinking. Slackers. Well, that’s what I’m thinking, too.

Here is Brooke with her cousins–Natalie, Emma, and Luke.

Here are the three girls. I’m not quite sure what’s so fascinating about Natalie’s knee, but apparently Brooke is seeing something none of us are!

Air on the Face

It’s your lucky day! Another video of Brooke! Here Dallas and I are blowing on Brooke’s face. She gasps for breath, then smiles.  We think it’s funny when we inhale loudly and Brooke waits in anticipation (with her mouth wide open) for the air to come.

Prom

, 4

Our ward had a prom!  It was so fun.  Dallas and I got all dressed up, dropped Brooke off at a babysitter’s house, and danced the night away.  We were able to get our pictures taken by someone in our ward.  It was such a fun date night.

Unfortunately Brooke didn’t enjoy the night as much as we did.  She screamed for two hours and threw up her bottle before finally crying herself to sleep.  What a little stinker.

Nubs

Here’s another hairstyle for Brooke. It’s a variation on an old classic.

This is Brooke being silly. If you look really carefully, squint, cock your head to one side, and use your imagination, you may be able to see something poking through her bottom gums. If you stick your finger in her mouth and let her chomp down on your finger, you’ll know for sure–teeth are on the way!
