We are loving this stage with Brooke! She is so much fun to interact with and has become quite the curious little girl. Things to note this month: Brooke loves bath time, and honestly, would probably love to stay there for hours if I let her! She loves to kick her legs and has started to grab at the water as I pour it on her belly. She learned how to suck in her lower lip, and makes sounds as she does it. She loves to suck her toes, can hold the bottle all by herself, has the most infections little laugh as we play games with her, rotates herself around on her back, and rolls over from back to front and front to back :)
She also had her first babysitter for a few hours and did so great. I have to admit, I was very hesitant to leave her, but one of the girls in the ward has been asking me if she can watch Brooke, and of all the young women, I trust her the most with Brooke. I have watched the way she interacts and holds Brooke, and I knew she would be in good hands. Plus, I babysat lots of babies when I was her age, and I felt like a confident caretaker, so I figured I needed to have a little faith :) Plus, it was only for like 2 hours since I was co-hosting a baby shower and Kevin would be coming home from work to take over. I kept my phone close during the baby shower, and about 8 pm I got a text from the babysitter telling me thanks for letting her watch Brooke and that she was great. I was relieved :)
