Busy weekend!

This weekend we packed our Saturday full of fun things to do! It turned out to be a beautiful day, so we were able to do all of our outdoor activities. We started the day bright and early by walking a 5K at the Race for the Cure. Before the race started we took a picture of her in the pumpkins at North Park mall.

Decked out head-to-toe in pink

Brooklyn was the hit of the entire event! She had cheerleaders screaming for her, other participants cooing over her and a random man take her picture! Greg carried her in the Baby Bjorn and she loved it!

She fell asleep for a little while and then was able to wake up in time to dive head first into the finish line! Look at that determination!

She was getting ready for the Longhorn game before the race.

We came home and she changed into her Texas outfit to cheer on the Longhorns against OU in the Red River Rivalry. We both took a nap during part of that game. But in our defense, we were up earlier than usual that morning and we knew Texas would pull it off anyway! After the game we went to Mass and then headed up to the FC Dallas game. It was Brooklyn's first game and first time eating at Rudy's! It was a little cold, but she was bundled up and had a good time watching FC Dallas beat the Colorado Rapids.

She's too busy watching the game to look at the camera.

She even got her picture taken with the FC Dallas dance team after the game!

We also tried out the Bumbo with Brooklyn and she's loving it! She holds her head up very well! Soon she'll be walking and hopefully helping me with the cleaning around the house. OK, maybe not!

Today Greg joined us for lunch so we could go back to North Park to take more pictures among the pumpkins. They have the craziest looking pumpkins there!

She's able to stand and support her weight. She just needs a little help with the whole balance thing!

This is my favorite picture of the afternoon. What is she doing with her mouth?

This is Greg's. She's getting ready to water the pumpkins.

Another wedding!

We made the trip down to Houston this weekend for Andrea and Jason's wedding. Andrea played soccer with Greg and I at Hendrix. It was another mini-Hendrix soccer reunion! We had lots of fun! It was Brooklyn and my first time to Houston. The weather was nicer than I expected given that that is all anyone seems to talk about when you mention Houston. Well, that or the traffic. And the traffic wasn't too bad either, but it was the weekend. Anyway, we had a great time and Brooklyn got to meet more of her honorary aunts, uncles and grandparents! She did great during the full Catholic Mass...it's what we've been working up towards with the previous weddings she's been to. That's crazy that she's been to 3 weddings already! What a go getter!

The fam with Leah who took our awesome maternity pictures! Brooklyn is fake sleeping in this picture!

Snuggling with Dad after the wedding. She was cold and tired and ready to go back to the hotel to sleep!

Brooklyn getting some good lovin' from the bride! She's counting down the days until it's her turn!

Greg and I went to the reception by ourselves so that Brooklyn could get some sleep and not lose her hearing from the loud music. I think with as many weddings as she's been to we need to invest in some baby Bose noise cancelling headphones!

Me and all the Hendrix soccer girls at the reception!

This picture is from today. I'm trying to have her wear all of the little baby outfits that she hasn't worn yet before she outgrows them. And she is about to outgrow the cute little shoes too, so I had to get a picture! Look at that sweet face! You can just imagine what she's thinking!

"You realize that I can't walk yet, right? OK, as long as we're on the same page here."

This weekend we've got lots planned! Race for the Cure, Texas/OU weekend and an FC Dallas game. And that's just Saturday! Yikes! It's a good thing I put in my two week notice at work the other day!

Brooklyn at 2 months

We had Brooklyn's 2 month well check up on Tuesday. Apparently turning 2 months old means you get 2 shots! I hate to see what happens when she's 12 months! Actually, the pediatrician said that they used to get 4 shots, but now they are combined. That is definitely a good thing! Brooklyn did great again with her shots. She stopped screaming as soon as we picked her up off the table. She was still hurting later that day, so I gave her Tylenol and she slept most of the day.

This is how she likes to sleep during the day. I think she likes to be close enough to my pillow to smell me!

This was the day before looking too cute with her little duck outfit on.

More smiles after our shots. See they weren't so bad! Or maybe that's the Tylenol speaking! I like how my feet in the background make her have bunny ears!

She loves going on walks in the Baby Bjorn and she holds her head up so well unless she falls asleep. We were out walking today and I kept wondering why my hand felt wet. Then I realized she was drooling on me! Awesome! So I took a picture when we got home.

So funny!

Turning two months is tough work when your mom is a PT. Look at her holding her head up so well!

8 weeks = 8 hours!

Last night Brooklyn slept for 8 hours...in a row! It was the first time in a long time that I've been able to sleep about 5 hours straight! She woke up at 4 a.m. and I felt so rested I thought I should stay up and do something! But I went back to sleep! Today we had a great day going to the dentist and a little shopping. We went on a couple walks and took some good naps. Let's hope this sleeping through the night thing keeps getting better and better! I'm beginning to remember what it was like to get a good nights sleep! It was rainy and sunny today (a good combination) so Brooklyn wore a sun hat to cover her head. And she chose pink for breast cancer awareness month! This picture isn't very good, but her chubby chin cracks me up!
