Happy 1st Birthday Brooke!

Our little Brooke Allison turned 1 on August 31st and we celebrated!  This was actually the first time we've ever had a 1-year-old party, but I did it for the older kids because they wanted to celebrate!

Check out this face--she was so surprised when everyone started singing to her!

Brooke is a dream--we love her so much.  She's been taking 5-6 steps at a time for a few weeks now, climbs right up the ladders of the bunk beds, says "mama" (and that's it!), is a pretty good eater, but has yet to accept milk from a sippy cup--she spits it out or throws the sippy on the floor.  I try to give her lots of yogurt, grilled cheese, oatmeal and milk, etc cause I'm weaning and she's got to drink something else!  I can see her morphing into a toddler a little more each day--goes way too fast!
