Brooke has a host of new "tricks" that I guess I should mention (since I have yet to do so).
She is into peek-a-boo, putting items of clothing on her head. But it doesnt stop there. She also puts toys, books, and food on her head. Anything and everything goes on the head. Here she is in a restaurant, putting the menu on her head.
We have a new word: "Bye". The interesting thing about Brooke is that she picks up a new word and says it for about a week. Then she just drops it. We dont know for sure if she is storing words in her vocabulary or not, since she only uses them for a week. The only word she consistently uses/repeats is "more". And she sure says that an awful lot.
She also has become very firm about what she does and does not want to eat. If she doesnt want to eat something, it is promptly thrown onto the floor. While the dog truly appreaciates this, its it becoming a bit frustrating. Especially because she changes the items she is willing to eat on a meal-by-meal basis. She has a few true favorites that have yet to change: asparagus and cheese. Everything else is unknown until we put it down on her tray to find out what she will do!
Brooke is doing a lot of standing, and a lot of cruising, but only a little bit of walking. The most she will take is about 3 steps, but she is definitely on her way!
