Peek-a-Boo Brooklyn

Brooklyn and Zach are always goofing off together. Their newest thing is playing peekaboo while she is in the high chair. It's funny when I'm not feeding her but frustrating when I am feeding her and she is looking for her daddy under the high chair.

a day outside

This was one day that me and Brooklyn spent outside at my parent's house. She loved swinging, but I couldn't swing long I kept getting motion sickness. I think I'm getting old!!

Car Problems

Just a quick blog about our stinking car!!!

When we were on our way home last time from Salt Lake our check engine light came on. We took it over for my dad (the mechanic) to take a look and see what he thought it was. Well, when we were in SLC Zach put the highest grade of fuel in the car and we normally do a blend at Maverick, so my dad thought that maybe the gas was causing a problem. So they put gas dryer or something like that in and the light went off. Then a few days later it came on again. This time the car was acting weird the RPM's were all weird and it sounded like crap.

Today we took it over to Murdock Suzuki and they took a look at it. After waiting an hour they came into the little waiting room and told us what they think happened. A mosquito was melted to the MAF sensor. They think that the last time the air filter was checked the mosquito got in there then melted and thus the car problems. So they checked the air filtering system and no holes, that means we're good.

The bonus for waiting an hour is that they vacuumed the inside and washed the outside. It runs like new and almost looks new too!!

What is this...

Do you know what this is?? Look closely...

I zoomed out so you could see a little better, now do you know what it is?

It's Zach's BALD HEAD!!!

Today he decided to take the clippers to his own head. Bye bye Hawk, Hello Baldie!!!

Grass

Today was the first day that I let Brooklyn sit on the grass. She has touched it with her toes and hands before but never actually sat on the grass. She looked disgusted at first but then got used to it and was loving it. She likes to pull it out of the ground and look at it then grab another hand full. She is so funny. I love her to pieces.

Sitting...

Brooklyn has learned to sit up very well. The last few days we spent in Salt Lake with Zach's family she did very well sitting on her own. She is still a little tipsy going side to side though. Over all I'm quite impressed at how fast she is learning things. Another thing we have been doing the past week is letting her cry herself to sleep. The first few days were hard but now she is getting better about it. Nap time seems to be harder for her but Night time is easier. I'm a lot happier when she sleeps in her bed and so are her and Zach.

Zach's "Hawk"

Two cool hair do's

In my last post I said that I would tell you more about Zach's hair. Well there's not a whole lot to tell but here it goes...

One night while I was working Zach called and told me he had made an appointment to go get his hair cut the next morning around eight. He said that he made that early so Brooklyn and I could sleep in. I jokingly said "As long as you don't come back completely bald or with a Mohawk that is fine with me." BIG mistake. You never tell Zach not to do something, it just gives him ideas of what to do.

So the next morning I didn't even remember him leaving the house. I do remember him waking me up though, with an ugly Mohawk. He slipped and told me that my Mom did it and that she told him she would only do it if he shaved it off in three days.

As most of you know it has lasted more than three days, but I've gotten over it. He likes it and I don't really care anymore. There are bigger and better things to worry about than hair. I love him!!!

Scooter!

Zach got a Scooter on Friday and he is loving it. We decided a month ago that it would be a good move with the way the gas prices keep hiking. He says it is cold on the way to work at 530 in the morning but over all he is loving it.

P.S. More on Zach's new hair cut on my next post!!!

Bath Buddy

Yesterday Brooklyn needed a bath and Zach offered to shower her while he was in. She was being so cute that I had to get some pictures. She doesn't like to get her face wet and Daddy does a better job than me at keeping it out of her face. He also has bigger hands so he can hold on to her slimy body better and not drop her.

Look how big her eyes got!

Starting to get a little steamy, last picture!!

Peas and Beans

FOOD!!!

Brooklyn started eating actual baby food last week and I just haven't had time to blog it hence this late post....

Last Tuesday we started with green beans and she loved them. She was definitely ready for food. This week we are trying peas and she doesn't like them as well. It kind of surprised me because the peas are sweeter than the beans. Any ways she loves to eat them with cereal or with out. I almost think that we should have started eating solids sooner because she just chows down. Oh and if she isn't done eating you know because she throws a huge tantrum. I think she will be one of those kids who arches their back when they throw a fit. I'm a little scared.


She was so happy tonight after her dinner that I just let her stay in the high chair (that we got at kings!) for a little bit. She liked that I let her touch, actually play, with her spoon. She usually tries to grab it when I'm feeding her and then she smears the food every where. I think you can see in the pictures how messy she got tonight, she isn't usually that bad.
