Go Dawgs!

Brooklynn finally gets to wear her UGA dress today, but only because Nick has a workshop at school and isn't here to stop it.  I figured if there ever was a time that Nick would let B wear UGA gear, it is on the day that Georgia plays USC.  GO DAWGS!!!

Spaghetti Video

Here is Brooklynn trying out spaghetti last night for the first time.  Usually when we try a new food that she isn't real crazy about we can give her a bite of something she loves, mangos in this case, and she will swallow it.  Last night that didn't work!

Meat . . . yuck!

The doctor suggested that by the time Brooklynn is nine months that we should have introduced a few meats into her diet.  We started recently with a few different types. Since B loves anything with apples we first introduced Apples and Chicken, which she LOVED!  Earlier this week we tried Turkey and Gravy.  The picture above shows her reaction.  She refused to swallow it!  We tried again last night with a little spaghetti, which she hated!  She cried and fussed and just couldn't get it over.  She refused to swallow or spit it out.  She finally spit it out in the bathtub about five minutes later!   She continued to let us know her displeasure with spaghetti and she was in an ill mood until bedtime!  I can't blame her though, I'm not a fan of spaghetti either!

Hot Dog Dance

Brooklynn definitely has a favorite TV show, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  The best part is the Hot Dog Dance at the end of each show.  B loves when Daddy dances like Goofy.  I think it is pretty funny as well!

Check out Goofy's part, I think we can all see Nick doing this.

CAUGHT!

Well it looks like I finally figured out how Brooklynn flipped her rocker forward earlier in the week.  I caught her in the act this morning.

Yes, she is buckled in!

Turning it on and off

And this is how she managed to flip it!

Brooklynn in Motion

Brooklynn seems to have mastered crawling recently.  Her favorite place to crawl is the kitchen and we are constantly picking her up and bringing her back to the living room.  Nick was making her bottles today and he looked down to see B chasing Tugboat in circles. She got him cornered in the kitchen and then Tugboat started whining for help.  Tug isn't quite sure what to think about a moving Brooklynn.  He did try to "clean out" her ears today, a treat he usually only saves for his favorite dogs at the dog park.  B has successfully managed to sit in Boat's water bowl and attempt to lick it several times today.  Looks like Tug is going to have to figure out a way to drink from the toilet

Rocker

This morning Brooklynn woke up a little earlier than normal, so I put her in her rocker with a bottle and started to iron my pants. A few moments later Brooklynn started SCREAMING.  I looked over and B had somehow managed to flip her rocker forward, which she was buckled into.  Luckily she didn't hurt herself, but she did take a nice face plant into the carpet.  Nick and I are still a little puzzled as to how she managed to kick her legs hard enough to flip the rocker forward!  In the words her of teacher, "Brooklynn is a mess!"  I had no idea that the rocker flipping forward was even a possibility!

I'm finding it difficult to find the time to take pictures during the week since I am taking two grad school classes.  Most Tuesdays and Thursdays I don't even get to see B unless she wakes up before I leave in the morning.  Nick has been so great getting up with her at night and just being an all around great dad.  It is nice for him to spend so much time with her after not getting much Brooklynn time over the summer.  

I promise to post lots of videos and pics over the weekend!  I know lots of family members who are anxious to see B soon.  We will be headed home in a few weeks for the Clemson vs BC game and we always have an extra bedroom for visitors!!
