Too Cute …. That’s Me!

Outta my way, I’m lookin for my toys!

I just had a bath.

I’m thinking about my life.

Is anyone looking?

Look, it’s Bunny taking a picture with me.

I climb stairs now.

All gone …

Just me in the tub …

Now Look Who’s Walking !

By the time Brooklyn was nine months old, she was already pulling herself up and grabbing on to our fingers so we could walk her around the house.

At ten and a half months, she’s now walking around the house holding on to only one of our fingers and often times lets go and takes four to five steps on her own.

Brooklyn doesn’t believe in just sitting still or playing quietly on the floor. She is on the go 24/7 and we barely have the energy to keep up to her.

She loves the feeling of independence and is very curious about everyone and everything around her.

She cannot wait to walk on her own. Watch out!

Look Who’s Crawling

For months now, Brooklyn has been ready to crawl. On March 14th, Mommy’s birthday, she finally put her skills in action!

One minute she was just sitting there and the next minute she was racing around all over our living room carpet right before our eyes!

Now we can’t get Brooklyn to sit still for a minute!

Well … maybe for just one minute.

A Visit From Grandma and Grandpa

Look who’s holding Brooklyn? It’s Grandma Mary! Brooklyn was very excited when Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit this weekend. Brooklyn loved all the cuddles, kisses and attention!

Grandpa Dan enjoyed walking Brooklyn around the house as she kicked every ball in sight and stepped on every toy that crossed her path. Most of all, she enjoyed grabbing at Grandpa’s beard and playing the keyboard while he and grandma watched.

By the time Grandma and Grandpa were ready to head for home, Brooklyn was all pooped out and ready for a nap. It’s tough being a baby and having to entertain your grandparents when they come to visit. It’s not easy being SO cute!

Brooklyn Battles the Bugs!

After four hours at emergency with a very high fever and a large red rash on her upper right leg, Brooklyn was sent to stay at the Langley Memorial Hospital while she was treated for Strep throat and a Staph infection on her legs. She spent three nights and two days in the Pediatric ward. Mom and Dad stayed close by her side.

While at the hospital, Brooklyn made many friends with the nurses…her favourite being nurse Lynn. Nurse Lynn taught her how to speak French! While Brooklyn enjoyed the special attention from the nursing staff, she did not like having an IV in her arm and being immobile. Brooklyn just wanted to go home and so did we!

Our Family Vacation

On February 5th, Nonno Tony and Nonna Rita took all of us kids to Puerto Vallarta for an extended family vacation. We stayed at The Palladium Resort and Spa which had its very own private beach. All twelve of us managed to have a lot of fun; especially the kids!
Brooklyn is a true beach girl!

Brielle and Brooklyn hit the beach on our very first day. It didn’t take the girls long to fall in love with the beach and the waves. Brielle tried boogie boarding and loved it!

Many a days were spent swimming and playing at the pool. Brooklyn loved splashing around in the water while playing with her toys.

Is that a margarita you’re drinking Brielle????

The kids loved every moment of the vacation and were sad the day we had to leave.

La Famiglia Mexicana!

Look…it’s all of the girl cousins. What cutie-pies!
