Brooke Turns Two!

Brooke turned two!  These two years have been so much fun, but Brooke has definitely kept us on our toes.  She learned how to do things so much faster than Lydia.  She loves to climb on everything and has for a very long time.  She is very independent and loves doing things by herself.  I you try to help her she gets mad and says, "Me do it" in her little, deep voice.  Sometimes it is pretty adorable.  She loves her big pink blankets.  Brooke loves doing everything that Lydia does and having Lydia do everything that she does.  We are very lucky to have Brooke around!  We started her birthday off by letting her open presents.  Lydia insisted on helping. 

 Lydia picked out a bike helmet for Brooke and was very excited to give it to her.  Brooke loved the purse that Matthew and Lisa sent and actually wouldn't put it down to open other presents once she opened that one.

 Justin and I got her a train set.  She loves trains and says "choo choo" in her little, deep voice whenever she sees them.

 

 We went to Jungle Jims with my parents and Cammie, Nathan and Ashley.  Brooke loves going on the rides.  She was the only one of the kids that would go on the spinning roller coaster type one with my dad.

 

 

 My dad was hanging Lydia upside down.  Lydia thought that was a lot of fun.

 After Jungle Jims, my parents came back to our house for some pizza and cake and ice cream.  We did a train themed birthday for Brooke.  She seemed to like it.

 Brooke doesn't show emotion on her face very often.  She gets this very serious, focused face.  It is pretty funny.

 

 Two years old!  She is getting so big.  She actually wears the same size shoe as Lydia.

 Sisters!

 Eating dinner!

 

 We put her cake in front of her and Justin was getting ready to light the candle and Brooke started nibbling away at the corner of the cake.

 Blowing out her candles.

The best part, eating the cake!

When you ask Brooke what her name is she says, "Brooke Brooke."  It is absolutely adorable.  She loves to sing and often times starts singing at the top of her lungs and then she starts spinning in a circle while she is singing.  She loves riding bikes and playing with Ivy.  She is quite the talker and speaks clearly and can say sentences.  We love our little Brooke Brooke!  Happy Birthday!
