Walkin on the Wild Side

Well, today when I picked Brooklyn up from school she proceeded to walk down the hall to the next class room. Yes, we have a walker on our hands! Here are a few videos for your viewing pleasure...

Long Time No Post

I'm sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately! I finished finals last week, my brand new laptop stopped functioning correctly (it will take 4-6 weeks to diagnose and fix the problem) and my desktop computer is super slow. Devon is doing great. He is finishing up 5th grade. He will be going to basketball day camp and then church camp for a week in La Grange over the summer. He is super excited! Brooklyn turned 11 months last Monday! She is definitely keeping us on our toes. She is venturing out with her walking skills and should have it mastered in no time! Yesterday, she (with no fear) climbed up the entire stair case at my dad's. Yikes! Her hair is finally growing and is starting to curl up at the ends. I'm thinking she will probably have soft curls as her hair continues to grow or at least I hope! Here are a few pictures from yesterday...

Happy Mother's Day

The 3 of Us

Surgery Day

Well, Brooklyn had her ear tube surgery today. Her ears weren't clearing up so her pediatrician contacted the ENT to discuss moving up her surgery date. Luckily she agreed.

We arrived at Texas Children's at 6:45 this morning to register, go over insurance, take her vitals, talk to the nurses & doctors and a lot of waiting. Brooklyn really enjoyed the waiting room full of toys! Her surgery was scheduled for 8:45 but the doctor was running late so she didn't get called back until 9:30. She went to the nurse without hesitation. Fifteen minutes later the doctor came out and told me everything went really well and I would be called back shortly to see her in the recovery room. B was a little groggy and quiet when I finally saw her but she sucked down her bottle and then they let us go. She's been GREAT since we got home!
(Sorry the pictures of her playing before surgery aren't that clear...they are with my cell phone and she kept moving!)

Look Mom No Hands

Brooklyn started standing unassisted this weekend...yeah B!!!

Hoppy Easter

The 3 of us had a very nice Easter Sunday. We went to church followed by a pancake breakfast. A few hours later we headed to Gigi and Dodo's for Easter dinner. We were blessed that Grampa Jim, Auntie Kel, Mathew and Uncle Wachary were all able to be there as well. The Easter Bunny was very good to the kiddos. Devon got the movies Twilight and Bedtime Stories along with some dinero and tons of candy. Brooklyn got a new Elmo dvd, bunny book, baby doll, outfit and lots of eggs. We hope all of our family and friends that we could not be with had an AWESOME EASTER!
