All about Brooke

I've created several blog posts now, and barely mentioned sweet little Brooke--she's the best.  Takes a bottle, takes a pacifier, sleeps 8 hours straight at night now, and is learning to fall asleep on her own--but only at night.  Still a normal baby though--screams in the car, prefers to be held, and needs to be rocked/held to fall asleep in the day.  Love her...

People always ask me who she looks like, and we've been told that she looks like every member of our family and extended family--guess that's a good thing 'cause we're all related!  But in the very professional opinion of her mother, who knows her best and has spent more time staring at her than any other person, and has studied the baby pictures of each of her 3 siblings, I go on the record that she looks very much like Lauren, and only Lauren.  Both Charlie and Kate looked very different from Brooke as infants.  In this picture below, the hair is darker, but she looks like Lauren...

Kate got this huge flower clip for her birthday--I don't normally put things in my baby's hair, and I guess Brooke is happy about that--she doesn't seem to like it!  And this was a joke...

What breakfast time looks like in our kitchen...

I put Brooke down for a minute in Kate's bed (Kate was awake) to go do something...Brooke turned toward Kate and promptly fell asleep...

Hee Hee...I have a picture of Kate doing this exact same thing...
