On no! Not a Cubs fan...

Brooklynn put on her Chicago Cubs outfit for the first time today and went over to show it off to her Grampy...who's one die-hard Cubs fan. A picture moment was born. Apparently it wasn't a good luck charm because the Cubs lost their game. I'm still determined to convert my daughter to becoming a Reds fan.

I'm big stuff and I know it!

And now yet another milestone. Brooklynn has just now started sitting up on her own. She still wobbles a little bit and falls back at times, but she thinks she is such big stuff while she's sitting up.

Mmmm....me like cereal!

What a milestone! Brooklynn ate her first solid food this week as she downed a bunch of rice cereal. She must have been paying attention to us as we ate our meals because she knew exactly what to do once we stuck the spoon into her mouth. As you can see she cleaned her bowl...this little girl can eat! It was so cool to see her take this next step.

Little miss "laid-back"

PawPaw and MeMe were in town this weekend and Brooklynn got a lot of attention. She loves just hanging out in MeMe's arms taking in the world around her.

Getting ready for bed has never been so cute.

Brooklynn's bathtime always brings smiles to her face. She looks especially cute nestled in her daddy's arms and wrapped up in her little hooded towel.

What in the...?

I can't believe my little girl actually had a Red Sox hat on. Things just have to change. Our good friend Bill Secord slapped one on her head when I wasn't looking!

5 months old! Both of them!

We met up with an old college friend, David Blanton, and his wife Jill in Charlotte. They just had a little baby girl 5 months ago named Carsyn Danielle. What's crazy is that she was born on the exact same day that Brooklynn was born so we have a couple baby girls that share the same birthday! What are the chances?!?

Who in the world do I look like?

The big debate right now is the topic of who does Brooklynn look more like. We thought we would post up photos of Joy and myself at just about Brooklynn's age now. Please leave a comment and let us know who gets your vote.

Happy Fourth of July!

Brooklynn celebrated her first fourth of July holiday. She ended up sleeping right through all the fireworks!
