Brookie is a very pleasant and healthy baby. She weighed 16 pounds at her 4 month appointment. For her first Halloween she was a round, little pumpkin...so cute. Unfortunately, she slept through a lot of our Halloween festivities. We love having her in our family, she's a funny little girl.

BRYNLEE'S BAD LUCK

Three weeks ago Brynlee shut her finger in the car door after school. Luckily, I was standing right next to her and could open it right away. There was obviously a lot of crying and her finger swelled up immediately. After 9 days of it being wrapped in a bandage it was still very swollen. I took her to the doctor to get an xray and as you can see by the picture it is VERY broken. The next morning I had to take her to the hospital to get a pin in it. She will have it for almost 4 weeks. Poor girl!!! I was nervous for her because she had to have anesthesia but she was so brave. I was very proud of her. Her injury hasn't hindered her a bit, she's as active as ever.

 For Halloween Brynlee wanted to be a witch. As long as she didn't want to be a princess I was okay with it. I hope she outgrows the princess stage soon...I'm so sick of it. For FHE we gutted and carved pumpkins. Bryn loved taking out the slimy insides. At school they did a costume parade with the whole kindergarten. On Halloween we went trunk or treating at the Iceberg parking lot where they a bunch of people take their old classic cars. They were extremely festive.
