WAHOOOO

Well, Brooke did it! She took her first steps today, wahooo!!! She was holding onto a chair and I held out my arms and said "come here Brooke" and she let go and walked about three steps before falling over LOL. Now she walks about 10 steps at a time, my little girl is growing up wayyy to fast LOL

Besides that, nothing much else is going on. I've just been hanging out with my little Brookie. Yesterday we went to the library, and I got some new books to read. Then last night we went out with my friend Beth and her two little babies, Julia and Anna. All we did was go to Outback Steakhouse and then to Wal-Mart to walk around, but it was nice getting out. Tonight Jason and I are going out with Beth and her boyfriend, and my friend Becky is going to babysit. I also found a babysitter for the wedding on Saturday, so we're all set with that, thank God LOL.

Lately Brooke has been having sleeping issues, espcially with nap time. I nurse her to sleep as usual, but then when I got to put her in the crib, she wakes up almost immediately and cries hysterically until I take her out of the crib.  I figured it was seperation anxiety and was getting really frustrated, but someone suggested to me today that it might be that Brooke just doesn't like her crib. She suggested that I set up a sleep area in her room where I can nurse her to sleep and leave her. I tried it, and it worked wonders, she slept for two hours! If it keeps working this way, I'm going to have Jason dismantle the crib for now and just put her crib mattress on the ground for her to sleep on. We are also looking into finding a queen mattress for our room, to throw on our floor and create a family bed for night time.

I took some pics of Brooke being goofy and some of her walking, but AOHELL still won't let me post them for some reason. I'll have to try again later, and if it still doesn't work, then I will call them and complain LOL. Well, off to get ready for a much-needed night out!! Ciao!!
