So needless to say, Brooke was very disappointed that the Huskers did not win this weekend. She even wore her jersey to bed for good luck (she only made it 30 minutes into the game). The weekend went by so fast I can't believe it. We shopped for our secret santa gifts and now we need to wrap and mail. We went to lunch on Sunday with our friend Amanda and she gave Brooke her Christmas present early. She took her time unwrapping her gift, which is exactly what I used to do when I was younger. I was always the last one still opening gifts every Christmas morning. I don't know why, I just liked to be the last one...hehehehe.
Brooke is now signing "more" and saying "more" at the same time (so cute). She can hoist herself up in bed now...fun fun fun...so when I walk in to her room, I can see her little head peeking over the top. We are still trying table food with her and she likes to eat fresh fruit by herself more than anything. The little pasta O's and small chunks of meat in the "toddler meals" are still a challenge. She likes to smush that all over her high chair more than she likes to eat it.
This week Santa is visting her school so she will be able to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what she wants for Christmas (should be really cute). Maybe she will just say "more, more"...I mean that is what I ask for every year :) That way everything is covered. Jeff and I are going to his company Christmas party on Friday, so the neighbors Alan and Mary will be watching her for a few hours that night.
We hope everyone has a great week!!! Christy, Jeff and Brooke

Wow...this week has gone by so fast. Brooke had a great week at school. Miss Christina and Miss Amy say she has been doing so well with her sign language. This week she is learning how to say thank you. We are also teaching her some new animal sounds, dog and cat. I walked in to pick her up on Tuesday, and she was sitting behind Andrew (10 months old), he was crawling, and she was smacking his butt. It was so cute and funny at the same time. She was just smiling and smacking and as he would crawl further away, she would scoot along side him. Kissing and now smacking buns...dare I ask what is next.
She is walking around great with her shopping cart. She walks all around the kitchen and hallway until her little legs get tired. She is still giving out kisses all over the place and loves to go out so she can people watch (she loves having people talk to her and actually gets upset if they aren't looking at her or talking to her...uh-oh, I know who she gets that from, and it isn't me)!
Jeff and I have been trying to think of what to get her for Christmas, even though we know she will be more excited to play with the boxes and bows. I can't wait to spend Christmas week with her, we have all kinds of fun things planned. Brooke and I still need to shop for daddy too. She is already fascinated by all of the lights and decorations. Surprisingly, she hasn't touched most of the decorations, but she does like to open and shut the doors to the 25 days of Christmas house.
This evening we tried table food for the first time. I bought a few toddler and Stage 3 foods. We tried mac and cheese with veggies and apple pieces for dessert. I'm not sure if she actually had much to eat, but she had a great time playing with her food. We listened to Christmas music, danced and then took a nice long bath.
I know she is getting sick of me kissing her face non-stop, but I can't help it. She is so happy and so loving, sometimes it still amazes me that she is actually ours. We waited such a long time and prayed so hard and finally our prayers were answered.
This weekend will be busy...we are Christmas shopping on Saturday and watching the Big 12 Championship Game. Sunday, after church, we are hanging out with our friend Amanda, shopping, lunch and perhaps a trip to the cupcake shop.
We miss our families so much and hope to see everyone soon. Love, Christy, Jeff and Brooke
