The fair. By Brooke.

Hey there everyone. Guess what? Come on guess... Why are you not guessing? Just a small guess? ARE YOU EVEN TRYING???

Fine then I'll tell you, I GOT TO GO TO THE FAIR THIS WEEKEND!!!! And not just once but a lot of times. Hehehe.
My mommy and daddy took me on Friday night when mommy got home from work. They both had something called back bacon on a bun. It looked real yummy. They both liked it and seeing as I was in my cuddly wrap mommy tried to share hers with me but it was ok it was funny.
Have you ever been to a fair? It is soooo much fun. There was a lot of people around, they would stop us and say how cute I am then I would smile just to show them how cute I am. Hehe, grown ups are so easy to get to smile.
There are also a lot of things that are called rides. They look like fun, I can't wait until I get bigger and get to go on them, though mommy says I need to go with daddy because she will not go on the spinning rides. And there is music playing every where and when it gets dark all the rides have bright flashing lights, I really liked watching those.
Also on Friday night was something called a demolition derby. That was real cool to watch. I was confused when daddy tried to tell me what one was but after I saw it it looked like a lot of fun, all the loud cars going VROOM, VROOM. SMASH,CRASH,BANG. I stayed awake to watch it all, well most of it, it took too long to put new cars in after they crashed them all. But all in all it was fun.
On Saturday daddy took Chip and me
to the fair, it was funny, chip would only walk a short distance then he would lay down. At on point he ladies down beside the pop corn/cotton candy stand,it took daddy like five minutes to get him to move and then it was only the ten feet to the merry go round where he laid down again and would not move. It was funny watching daddy try to get chip to move. Did you know that a merry go round has ponies on it? And they go round and round? And up and down? And you can ride them?? It looks like so much fun. But they are not real ponies though but they do look nice. I didn't get to ride them this year cuz mommy and daddy said I was too small but I get to go on them next year, I can't wait. After that daddy and I took chip home but on the way we stopped and saw the ponies, not the pretend ones on the merry go round but real ones. They had the cutest one there, it was the size of Madison. It came up to the fence and looked at me, it's head was SOOOO big. But I was not scared I smiled at
It.
When mommy got home from work we all took Madison over to the fair. Mommy put me in my cuddly wrap and daddy brought Madison on her leash. Madison was not being a very good doggie though, she was pulling everywhere trying to smell all the smells on the ground and trying to get some chicken wings that has fallen there. We only walked around once then we brought Madison home and got Nanuk. Nanuk was much better on leash but as Madison was pulling for all the smells and food on the ground and ignoring the people, Nanuk was ignoring all the smells and food on the ground and pulling to meet all the people. It was funny seeing all the people come over and say how cute nanuk is then they would say how cute I am. I don't know who got more compliments, me or Nanuk but I do know that I got more over the weekend hehehe.

On Sunday my uncle John and aunt
Trish came over with Erin and Amy. It was fun to see them as I have not seen them since I was just a little baby.
We went to the fair with them, that was fun, my mommy and daddy even went on the bumper cars with them. That was funny to see because they all drive around and hit each other. It is like a demolition derby except the cars don't get dented when they hit. My daddy is so good at driving them, Andrew could
barely hit him and daddy just drive circles around him. It was fun to watch.
As you can see I had a busy weekend, I am tired now but I am finally getting back on schedule. Which is good because next weekend my aunt April is coming out to see me, I don't k ow what we are going to do but I am sure it will be fun. I'll let you know what we do in the next blog.
Good bye for now. Hope every one had as good as a weekend as I did.

Brooke's first doctors appointment without mommy

Well today Brooke had her 4 month doctor appointment. Mommy was not able to go, she had to work today, so I got to take her myself. Brooke did awesome until the nurse gave her the second needle, she didn't like that one too much. She started crying with that one so the doctor didn't look at too much, but she did say that Brooke is doing great. She said she was surprised at how much she has grown since her last appointment a couple of weeks ago. Brooke is now 10lbs 10oz and is 25 inches. I knew she has been growing like a weed.
Even though she cried she did great and after I calmed her enough to put her in her car seat she ended up falling asleep on the two minute drive home and had a half hour nap before her bottle. Now that she is finished that I think there is another nap in her future. If she is feeling up to it later she will get some tummy time and I will give her another crawling lesson, but don't tell Jen Brooke and I are going to surprise her, once we figure it out that is. But Brooke says that I am getting better at the crawling thing and after seeing all the other babies at her ply group moving around she figures it can not be too hard. I will keep you all posted on how the lessons are going.

Brooke's adventures

Hi again, daddy is having a nap so I figured I would give you all an update.
The last while here has been fun, we have the cutest foster puppy. His name is chip and he is only 11 weeks old. Can you believe that? He is younger than me. But he can run around ad I can't. But that is ok cuz he plays with me sometimes. Daddy says he is very well behaved because daddy only had to tell him once to be careful of me and now he is.
My aunt Teri and uncle Kristof came to visit me this weekend. That was a lot of fun. They took me to Ottawa where me met up with aunt Nicole and uncle Sid. Daddy did not come though, he stayed home and did some work on his truck that it needed. I got to see a lot of things when I was in Ottawa, we went to a market where there was a lot of people, there was soooo much going on that I did not even have a nap, though as soon as we left I went to sleep.
We also picked up my new bassinet when we were there. Mommy decided I needed a new one cuz I was too big for my old one, my feet touched one end and my head touched the other., she said that was ok though cuz it means that I am growing.
Aunt Teri also brought me a new toy with her, mommy calls it an excersaucer but I just call it fun! I can sit in it and there is a table for my toys and it also bounces and I can go around in circles!!! Ain't that cool? It is my new favorite thing to do.
Mommy said that when I start eating real food I can eat it in there hehe , I know what I am going to do, I'll feed Madison and Nanuk lol.
Mommy and daddy said that this weekend is the fair in town. I don't knowwhat that is but it sounds like fun, I'll let you know what it is like. My aunt and uncle are coming here on Sunday and my mommy is off work on Sunday and Monday, just that sounds like fun. Mommy only gets one day off at a time usually so I don't know what we are going to do for two days.

Today is also Tuesday so that means under one club is today, I wonder what everyone there has been up to? It will be fun to see them again I didn't get to go last week cuz daddy's hand was hurting him and he couldn't drive, it was hard for him to just make my bottle. I felt sorry for him so I took it easy on him and didn't fuss too much, and it was funny to watch when he would move it the wrong way, I think daddy likes sugar, fudge and fire trucks a lot because every time he would hurt it he kept saying that Lol.
Oh well I guess I should go and get ready then get daddy ready so we can go to my group. Maybe if daddy is tired I'll let him sleep on the way there and I'll drive again.
Have a good day everyone, and I will let you all know what a fair is and if it is fun or not, I am wondering what daddy means by cotton candy I guess I will find out. If it is anything like chocolate ice cream I think it may be good.
Bye bye for now.

Daddy's post

Well I am sorry it has been so long, I couldn't find my phone after Nanuk used it.
Let's
See, what's been going on here? Brooke and I went to the under one club on Tuesday. She had a blast watching all the other babies. When ever we go out now Brooke like to just sit there and watch what is going on. I thought she would need to eat o. The way home from the club, and I still had to do some shopping. She cried for a minute then fell asleep. She woke up again when I got to Canadian tire nd stayed awake the hole time there and at Walmart, with out crying. She did cry on the way home but it was two hours late for her feeding. I think that until it got boring she just didn't care.

Brooke also had a doctors appointment this week. It was just to get her weight. It has been a while since she was there and I am proud to say that she has broken the double digits with her weight, she now weighs a whopping 10 lbs. hehe, she is growing like a weed. She is I guess you would say long. I have already had to raise the jolly jumper a couple of times.
She is also moving around a bit. She isn't crawling yet, but when she is on her mat she spins herself around and ends up moving her self off of it. She is also starting to grab at some things and is going to giggle any day now.

Well Brooke is awake now and should want to eat soon.

Wroorrr wwrrooooor woof woof grrrrrll woof.

Hi there again. If you have not guessed this is Nanuk.
Did you all know I have the bestest baby around? Well I do:) she lets me lick her foot and does not even cry. Once in a while I will steal kiss on the head, my mommy gets a little mad at me when I do cuz she says I give her a cow lick, how funny is that? Doesn't mommy know I am a dog and not a cow? It should be a dog lick or a Nanuk lick. My mommy is funny, you would think she would know the difference between a cow and a dog especially such a gorgeous dogg like my self ;)
Oh I didn't tell you, we have my cousin Andrew staying with us for the summer. He is so much fun to have around. He plays with me in the yard and some times I let him catch me but don't tell him I said that, he thinks he can catch me on his own but I am FAST FAST FAST!!!! Even Madison plays with us some times. I like to talk to him when we play but my mommy and daddy remind me to settle down a little if I start to get too excited which I have not been doing too much.
Yesterday we all went to the beach trail. It is not like the normal trail that we usually go to, this one has WATER on it!!!! If you don't know I love to play in the water. Some of the water went away though but there was still some that I got to play in while we were walking the trail. The trail is long but when we get to the end this one has a beach. How cool is that? Do you have any idea how much fun a beach is?!!! And the best part is Andrew came in the water with me and so did daddy and when Brooke had some food mommy and her came in too. Even Madison came in more that she normally does. Madison and I also had a wrestling match in the shallow water. A small
Word of advise when wrestling in the water don't let your self get put on your back, but I still had fun. After we all played in the water Madison and I went for a small tour around the beach while everyone else had a snack. When we got home Madison and I were both tired and slept. After supper we got bones to eat yesterday was a great day and can't wait untill we get to go again. But I need a rest first.

Well I need a nap again. I hope you all get to go to the beach soon. I know I will. Have fun.

Hi everyone

Hi, it is me Brooke again. My daddy is having a nap so I figured I would say hi. I have has a busy couple of days, this Canada day weekend thing is fun, maybe we should have more of them.
On Saturday after mommy got back from work my parents took me to see something called fireworks. ( I don't know why they are called this, they didn't do any work ;) I think a better name would be bright flashy lights in the sky at night with booms. On second thought that may be too long). Before we went my mommy was worried that I might be scared of them, but I wasn't cuz I am a big girl. I really liked them and watched them until I got tired and fell asleep. Why do they have to have them so late?
On Sunday I went to the park with daddy and Andrew. There was some Canada day activities going on so I told daddy to take me. I was fun walking around seeing all the people and things. They had a petting zoo with sheep and goats. They were cute like me:) but the cutest ones were the baby sheep. I didn't get to feed them though but my daddy got them to come close so I could see them. I also got to sit in a pony. It was HUGE it was even bigger than Madison and Nanuk bit not as fluffy as Nanuk. I liked the pony a lot. ( I wonder if I could get one when I get older).
On Monday my mommy didn't have to go to work. I like those days. Mommy decided to take Madison and Nanuk to the trail so we all went. We didn't go to the normal trail though we went to the trail that has what mommy called a beach, what ever that is. All I know is that the trail went on for ever but it ended at a sandy area with lots of sun and water. Madison and Nanuk had lots of fun running down the trail and playing in the water. Nanuk swam with Andrew and daddy, Madison went in but not too deep though mommy said that she went in further than she ever has. Madison is funny to watch in the water, she hops through it like a bunny but she is a dog. Nanuk loves the water and likes to swim though and swims like a fish. I can't wait until I get older and learn how to swim so I can swim with her. Nanuk and Andrew swam real far out but daddy said it was ok because the water was not deep and most of the time Nanuk was walking. When we came home we were all tired. Madison and Nanuk are still tired.
Today is my under one club. I like going there and watching all the other baby's. I better get my daddy ready to go. He needs to get me a bottle so I can have it before we go. Well I should go and wake him up now. I hope everyone had a good long weekend like I did. :)
