I Knew It Was Too Quiet

Brooke was hanging out by herself and was awfully quiet. I figured I
should check in on her. She had pulled every item out of my
wallet ... And, yes, that's a dog leash around her neck.

Lots Of Bows

I just mentioned a few days ago that I wished Brooke would leave a
barette in her hair. She actually is getting a lot better though ... A
drastic improvement over a month or so ago.

You can see from the pics we took at the studio that she was wearing a
barette, and you probably notice a barette or two in other recent pics.

Today she found a package of barettes her grandma gave her and wanted
me to put one in. Well, that's what I thought she wanted at least.
Actually, she wanted me to put them ALL in. I put in three and ran
out of room ;)

18 Month Pics

It took us a while to get in and get Brooke's 18 month pics, but we did it today. After pics we went out to lunch with Uncle Brad, which was the thrill of Brooke's whole week. Perhaps her whole month, in fact.

Here are a couple of pics from today...

We tried to get her to smile and she wasnt buying it.
So we said "show your teeth" ... and she did just that :)

And here she is practicing her sweet-n-innocent pose. What an actress.

Finally Getting It ...

It took a long time, but Brooke finally seems to understand the point
of sunglasses ... Now we just have to work on the whole barette thing.
