Brooke

So I started this post a couple of weeks ago and forgot about it… The much awaited Favorite Brooke Moments is now here. If you missed leaving a comment about your favorite Rebecca moments be sure to go back and do that here

It is going to be hard to determine what my favorite Brooke moments are because she does something funny everyday.

One funny thing Brooke does is that she crawls as fast as her little body will carry her to the bathroom whenever we forget to close the bathroom door.  She somehow knows when we have forgotten to close the door and the moment we turn our back she is there either trying to get into the bathtub or getting the cap off the floor bolt on the toilet so that she can suck on it.  Gross!  It sometimes even becomes a game when we catch her in the act, she will giggle and try to race us there.

I also like it when she gets hyperactively excited when I come home.  It makes me feel needed at home.  If you haven’t seen that post be sure to see that one because it is hilarious! We’re So Glad When Daddy Comes Home!

One of my favorite rides on our trip to Florida was the Cat in the Hat ride because we were able to go together with Brooke and it was mostly fun to see Brooke’s face on the ride as she experienced everything.

This is what happens when Dallas is in charge of doing her hair:

Brooke has been getting hives.  I’m not sure what’s causing the hives but I’m thinking it may have something to do with dairy products so I’ve been restricting these from her diet which means Brooke has gone over 5 days without eating string cheese.  This may not seem like a big deal, but it is.  Brooke loves her string cheese.  She has even been known to finish a block of string cheese faster than I can.

Today I decided I wanted some string cheese.  Since it would be rude to eat it in front of Brooke, I surreptitiously ate it when she wasn’t looking.

When I wasn’t looking, Brooke crawled over to the trashcan, discovered the string cheese wrapper, pulled it out of the trash, made her way over to me, and placed the wrapper gently on my lap.  Then she looked up at me with her huge brownish-greenish eyes, brought her hands together, and tapped her fingertips making the sign for more.

And that is the story of how Brooke successfully ended her dairy fast.

She’s currently in her highchair eating cheese.  She’s shoveling it in her mouth as fast as she can, humming in response to the delicious taste that has been so long withheld from her palate.

We’ll see if the hives come to visit.

Aren’t you in luck?  We have another magic trick for your viewing pleasure!
