Back to Work


So today was my first day back at work. I wasn't happy at all about the idea . . . but Brooke didn't seem to mind at all as I was loading her up to drop her off! A friend Audrey is watching her during the day and she conveniently lives close to my work. So on my way to drop Brooke off I thought I was completely fine and it wouldn't be a big deal. But as soon as I got inside Audrey's house I started to get all choked up. So I quickly left to keep from crying, but it was to no avail. By the time I got back to my car tears were streaming down my face while little Brooke was peacefully sleeping in her pumpkin seat inside Audrey's. I went by to visit her at lunch and nurse her and she was mostly asleep the entire time until of course I was getting ready to leave and I handed her back to Audrey. Then she woke up and was smiling . . . the little stinker!

Good Morning

I can't help but feel utterly blessed when I wake up in the morning to this! She is such a precious gift from God!

Mizzou fan


How can Mizzou lose so badly to Texas with such a cute cheerleader on their side?

Talking to Daddy

Doctor's Visit


Brooke had her 1 month appointment (at 6 weeks of age) and she definitely hasn't had any trouble gaining weight. She now weighs 10 pounds 1 ounce which puts her in the 75th percentile for her age. And her height is now 21 3/4 inches which puts her in the 50-75th percentile on height! Her head circumference was 37 3/4 cm which puts her in the 50th percentile.

Play day with the cousins




Brooke went to Kansas City today to meet her new cousin Hadley who is a month younger than she is! She also got in some play time with her other cousins Bri and Mia and her auntie Amaris.
