Brooklynn is no longer the youngest of her cousins. Dalon and Lynn had a baby boy yesterday, Bennett Thomas (I haven’t seen it written, so I could be wrong on the spelling). Update: This is the right spelling.
From what we’ve heard, everyone is doing well. We’re planning on visiting them next week so I’ll have a little more (and most likely pictures) then.
Brooklynn’s run as the baby came to an end at just a little under eight months, or not really long enough for to be excited to see a new kid at all. She does seem to like babies though, so hopefully she enjoys the upcoming travel.
You may think that having something like this in the house is a product of being parents and buying fun things for the baby, but you would be mistaken.
We ran out of hand soap in our guest bathroom and moved the bottle that was next to my sink in the bathroom, leaving me soapless. Last weekend, while standing in next to the shelves of soap in Target, Rhiannon asked me what kind I wanted.
Now, there are way too many options, but I knew that I didn’t want anything with fish or flowers or anything. Something simple, modern, and understated would do nicely.
And then I saw the SpongeBob bottle. Decision making process over.
I will admit that she is not standing completely on her own, but she will balance on her own every once in while. She likes to stand to the point that she will go from laying to standing when pulled up by her hands. At this rate, I think we may have the first baby to be able to walk but unable to move or get back up if she ever falls down.
The real question is do you think that she’ll be able to work a lawn mower come summer time?
Something is different about Brooklynn in this picture.
If you said she doesn’t have a canula on, award yourself 50 bonus points. The doctor gave the go ahead to take her off completely yesterday. She’s only been on oxygen when she sleeps for the last couple weeks, but is was easier to leave the canula on the whole time.
Now, looking at her, it really looks like something is missing, like when you see a person who wears glasses all the time on the first day they get contacts. It just isn’t right.
I was joking with Rhiannon that we’ve upgraded Brooklynn models to the one with better lungs and she asked if this version comes with a fixed sleep function. I’m not going to hold my breath about that one, although maybe if the problem persists, we can get a recall of some sort to address it.
