Sweet little Brooke is already 18 months!  Our peanut just hit 20 pounds, which puts her in the 16th percentile.  She may be small, but she's mighty!  She wants to be where her sisters are; in the mix and doing the exact same things.  She is a sweetheart, but I have to remind the girls not to let her push them around as they'll let her take their seats and do whatever she wants!  Brooke loves to talk and sing as best she can at 18 months : ), dance, climb, and imitate her sisters.  

Her first "baby cone" at our favorite ice cream place.

Her pal.  Dixie tolerates just about anything from Brooke because she knows where all of her extra food comes from. : )

She has to sit up at the counter like a big girl now.

Water balloons with the big kids.

Sometimes she colors more on the paper than on the table.

Enjoying Daddy's ribs.

This stinker carries stools around the house to get to things I've never had to childproof before!

She's not little due to a lack of interest in eating!

 Our crazy climber took a spill while we were at the zoo and ended up with quite the boo-boo. : (

Our Brookey.  Joyful, cuddly, fearless and funny.

Springtime Fun!

Bubbles with neighborhood friend, Gabriella.

It was fun to be the Mystery Reader in Clara's class on Pajama Day!

My Daisy troop working hard at their last meeting of the school year. 

They are a sweet group of girls! 

Watching Clara sing with her class at the Mom's Hat Party.

Celebrating on Mother's Day weekend with ice cream.

Clara was very into watching our caterpillars this year.

Clara is super excited about the train ride at the zoo...Brooke is not so sure!

Memorial Day Parade

Mommy, what color is my tongue?

She grabbed a blanket and got herself cozy at the table for quite awhile watching our first butterfly in the garden.

Time for the release!

Soccer Saturdays

Clara had fun playing on her first soccer team!

Coach Daddy also helped coach her team.

Go Blueberries!

This one is starting early.

Our view of Ellie's game on a cold, rainy afternoon.

The girls enjoyed having lots of spectators this spring - it made them feel extra special!

Clara was awarded the sportsmanship award for cheering on her teammates!  She was beyond excited about receiving a medal!

Clara did well with finally going after the ball a little bit during the last game of the season.

It's hard to tell because all of the girls are usually gathered in a group in front of the goal, but we are pretty sure that she scored a goal this game too!

Brooke napped in the car during most of Ellie's games which made it difficult for me to take a lot of pictures, but I got some good ones during her final two games.

The little ones playing a game of their own.

She has done a great job this season with tracking the ball and going after it!

Celebrating with ice cream after the last game.
