This month has been an exciting month with Brooke starting to repeat everything that Mommy and Daddy say. A few favorite phrases are "no spider up there"(mommy has spider issues), "Achoo Daddy" (we all had a cold this month), "No Please" (she means no thank you) and "no thank you kitty cat". When you ask her what she would like for breakfast, her favorite answer is "hotdog", followed by "fishies". We can't wait to see what the next few months bring.
Her thanksgiving came and went without much excitement. She tried turkey but preferred dipping her croisant into her mashed potatoes. She also enjoyed pumpkin chocolate chip bread pudding.
Brooke even ventured out with Aunt Tracy and Mommy for her first black friday shopping experience. She was a little cranky shopping, but we will blame that on the cold she was fighting all weekend.

Halloween
Well this halloween was quite an exciting one. Brooke loved the idea of trick-or-treating, especially at the houses that had dogs. Forget the candy, she just liked to see the dogs. Luckily the house she let herself into to see the barking dog in the kitchen was a friend's, so it wasn't too awkard.
Our halloween evening was cut short after Emily spotted the biggest black bear we had ever seen right in our path to the next house. After we thought it was safe we crossed the street, away from the bear, only to notice that he was headed back into the neighborhood for little trick-or-treating like everyone else. After a few police cars and some shots to scare him away, we called it a night.

Fall Is Here
Not that much seems to have happened this month. Sorry for not having too many pictures. Even though there are not a lot of pictures there are a few that may raise some questions.
Why are there pictures of a busted door jam you may ask? Well, while Daddy had just left for work, I was watching Brooke. Brooke's latest habit is closing the door and sitting on the potty. Who doesn't like their privacy? Well needless to say, somehow Brooke managed to lock the door and lock her self in the bathroom.
Do we have a key? Of course not. I tried to remove the door knob. No luck. So I was left with only one option. To remove my work shoes and kick the door down. Thank goodness this house is crap.....it only took 2 kicks and within a few seconds mommy and a somewhat upset Brooke were reuinted.
If you look towards the end of the month, you might notice that Brooke is somewhat obsessed with her baths these days. Well, while mommy left the bathroom to get a new washcloth (for those of you who know our house) I was back in 3 seconds to see that Brooke had decided not to wait for me to put her in the bath, but to hop in on her own, in her clothes.
That pretty much sums it up for this month. Check back next month for pumpkin and halloween pictures!

Summer is Almost Over
Brooke had a big month this month. She enjoyed the Farm and Horse show for the first time. After Daddy made Mommy paranoid about animals gone wild, Mommy and Brooke successful rode and elephant...without ending up on a segment on Animal Planet.
Brooke seemed to start an obsession with shoes this month. No matter what size or who they belong to, she want the shoes on. Hopefully this won't turn into a Jimmy Choo obsession later in life...
Also this month, Brooke survived a whole week without Mommy. While Mommy was off for her MBA in Pittsburgh, Daddy was left to take care of Brooke. I think the majority of people were more worried about Daddy, then about Brooke. Daddy receive offer for help which included offers to take Kacee off his hands and numerous call asking how being Mr. Mom was going.
Well, everyone survived with flying colors even if that meant animal crackers for breakfast every morning.

July Updates
For the second year in a row now Brooke has slept through the 4th of July fireworks. This year we were lucky enough to see them from the front porch, while Brooke didn't even move during all the ruckus.
She had my 18 month check up and she is only 22 and a half pounds and 30 inches tall. She has graduated into the 25th percentile for both categories now. As daddy like to points out, She is just about 1/2 mommys height.
I have started playing the "Where's mommy's baby" game with Brooke this month. I proceed to lift of mommy's shirt and aim right for the belly button! (she will get it eventually...I hope!)
