Mom:  Do you want nuggets for dinner?
Brooke: Yes, dino nuggets and pizza.  Just a little piece of pizza (holds up fingers close together to demonstrate size) with no cheese and no sauce.

Mom: Maybe you can ask Santa for it.
Brooke: No, I dont want to ask Santa for it!  I want to ask the store for it.

Dad:  Do you know how to make pizza?
Brooke:  Yeah, we bring it home!

Growth Spurt!

Brooke goes to the doctor a lot, and that means she gets her height and weight checked a lot. I've been hearing 38" for a long time. I posted about it back in June, but remember the same height at a recent appointment in October. I hear a nurse say "38 inches" so often that I just tune it out.

She had to go in for a booster shot the other day, and something made my ears perk up. "38.6 inches" I double checked, and yup, Brooke grew over half-an-inch in the last month or so. Even though that seems like a lot (and it is!), I checked her growth chart and she is still right around the same percentage ... so it looks like her growth is right on track. She's still a tall girl, but she didnt zoom off the charts ... yet ;)

Using A Spoon!

Up To No Good

The little guy was playing a bit out of eyesight when I heard a popping noise. I figured I'd go and check it out, and the look on his face was obvious. Trouble.

He then proudly swung around the cord he just pulled out of the wall.


At least he is taking stuff out of electrical sockets instead of putting it in.
