On her actual birthday, we started the day with some waffles...mmmmm...
Dolly kisses...
Playgroup at the pool (check out that "new walker" stance!)
Dinner of pasta, corn, and bread (no shortage of carbs in this house)
And of course--cake! Strawberry shortcake to be exact. She was no stranger to dessert consumption and quickly showed that cake who's boss...
We ended with presents! A puzzle, dress, and shoes from Mom and Dad, an elephant on wheels from Megan, and a really exciting doggy book from Grandma and Papa. Megan even let her look at the new toys occasionally...
The week of her first birthday she went from taking a few hesitant steps here and there to walking all over the place!
Brooke--you are such a happy, calm, little sweetheart. We just adore you and your smiles and giggles. You are still a champion sleeper--you sleep from 7 pm to 6 am and nap for an hour and a half in the morning and 2-3 hours in the afternoon. You love music and dancing, reading books, playing with dolls, being with Megan, hot milk in the morning, sucking your thumb at rest times, and your "blankie" (thank goodness there are 4 blankies you will accept). You can say "Dada", "Mama", "uh-oh", and "bye-bye" and can sign "milk". You are getting a little more busy these days and church seems to get longer week by week, but we love seeing you learn and grow!
Love, Mommy and Daddy

Happy Birthday Brooke! I love that picture of her in the highchair with cake on her face. So cute!
I LOVE the messy face big smile. She is an adorable little walker. I like the strawberry shortcake idea. My children would probably eat the whole thing to, instead of leaving a huge portion of it on their plate. Yeah for IKEA plates.
