Brooke is 7 Months Old!

Brooke is seven months old!  It is fun to compare the differences between where she is at now to what Lydia was doing at seven months.  Brooke loves to be moving.  She also loves to be around people.  Lydia was always content to just play in a room by herself but Brooke does not like being alone in a room for very long especially if she knows someone is nearby and she is getting left out.

Brooke is a very happy and pretty content for most of the time.  Here is a list of things she is up to:

**She started to army crawl just a few days before turning 7 months old.

**She likes to clap her hands.

**She loves to chant dadadadadada.  Lydia thinks it is funny and always tells me that Brooke is saying dad dad.  One day Lydia told me Brooke said grandpa because that is what it sounded like.

**Brooke loves being around people.  She gets a big grin when she knows someone is watching her.

**She is very wiggly and very busy.  She won't hold still if she is being held and is always reaching for something to play with.

**She likes being outside and running her toes through the grass and then she likes to pick the grass up and try to eat it.

**She loves to be fed baby food.  We have to have her baby food ready to go before we put her in her high chair or else she gets fussy.
**She loves to feed herself too.  She loves eating little puffs and yogurt bites.

**She isn't quite sleeping through the night; she still wakes up once but goes back to sleep quickly if I give her the binki.

**She has to have her blanket by her cheek to sleep.

**She doesn't take very long naps at all.

**Brooke only uses her binki while she is in her crib.  She will actually spit it out as you pick her up out of the crib.

 

 

**She loves to stand up.
**She likes playing in her exersaucer and the jump-a-roo.

 

 

**She will dance to music.  She sits and bounces whenever there is music.  

**She is the favorite baby in the ward.  She gets held by someone different during each of the meetings on Sunday and the first thing she goes for is either their watches or their necklaces. 

We love having Brooke around.  It is fun watching Lydia and Brooke interact with each other.  Sometimes when we are in the car Brook and Lydia will start laughing back and forth at each other.  It is so much fun to listen too even though I have no idea what is so funny.  Lydia always tries to get Brooke to say Dad or Grandpa.  They are going to be great friends.
