2 major accomplishments for my big girl!!!

As you all know, Brooke has been working with a physical therapist for months. In the last few days, I have noticed her attempting a lot of new things. Earlier this evening I sat her in her bed so I could get her blue pillow out of the washer and into the dryer without her seeing it. I was out of the room for a minute, when right back in to get her and she was STANDING!!! I was so proud of her!!!! Jeff had lowered the bed when she started sitting up but I guess now it needs to be dropped to the lowest level!


Brooke standing up in her crib. I love how excited she gets at herself when she does a BIG GIRL accomplishment. Excuse her hair, I had two barrettes in her hair which she pulled out, so we used a headband to keep her hair out of her eyes.


***Brooke's second big accomplishment is that she used the adult potty!!! During dinner, Brooke was showing signs of a "surprise in her diaper." I kept checking, but nothing. After a couple hours I gave up and put her in the bath. Now, we have never had a "floating surprise" (well, other than the mouse). In the middle of her bath, I start noticing the signs of an upcoming surprise. She was pushing and had her legs straight and toes pointed!! I immediately grabbed her up, sat her on the toilet and WHALA!! If only this was a permanent thing!!! She seemed proud that she went poopy in the potty!! I'm glad I saw the signs. I think I would rather have a mouse floating in my tub!!! LOL

Yay, so proud of you, Brooke!!! I can already picture you and cousin Ash raising havoc running all over the mountains in a few months. Tell your mama to get her rest now...once you start moving she is going to be very tired! :) And can I just say that that pic of you reminds me of your cousin, Kalyn. You look just like her! :)
