Brooklyn, 6 months...

Brooklyn celebrates her 6 month birthday today, and as she does every month, she indulged me by posing with Bossier the Bear and smiling as big as she could... For the past couple of weeks, she has been going through her biggest growth spurt yet. Hawaii agreed with her very much as she put on a little weight while we were there. For her, that's a great thing! She is still very "petite" or as this man at church says "She's little miss itsy bitsy!"

She's a pretty happy baby most of the time... she loves to smile and laugh, and she has discovered that she can have a lot of fun in her exersaucer --- now that her feet can reach the bottom.

She has two teeth now (they broke through around 5 months) and more working their way in... that means that there is lots of drool and gnawing on the fingers taking place!

It's full-blown fall around here --- temperatures are very cool and varying greatly from day to day. Unfortunately, since she is so tiny that means she'll never wear most of the cute little spring/summer clothes she was given when she was born.

While we were in Hawaii, Grandma and Aunty Gwen bought the kids some "Aloha" shirts and some fun clothes... the outfit Brooks is wearing in these pictures is the one they gave her. While it seemed a little out of place in Hawaii, it's perfect for fall in Ohio. Thank you Grandma and Aunty Gwen!! (And by the way, Dylan loves his orange jacket... wears it everywhere!!)
