First week at the sitters.

Hello!
How is everyone? I am doing good. As you can see I spent the week with the babysitter. It is lots of fun. I get to play with other kids there, though they are all older than I am but I don't mind. There is also a doggie there too.
Daddy went back to work this week. He left Monday before I woke up so I didn't get my cuddle time with him, but when he got home he made up for it. Daddy ended up being off for the rest of the week, he says it is because his work was screwed up BUT I know the real reason is because hi missed me. Hehehe.
On Wednesday mommy brought a foster doggie home from her work. His name is maverick and he looks just like we think Madison would have looked like at 6 months. Yeah he is only 6 months old so that makes me older than him can you guess by how much? I turned 8 months old on Tuesday ain't that just awesome? Mommy brought Maverick home to play with Madison and Nanuk but when he got here he was a little scared at first then just wanted to sniff around. Mommy was off yesterday and we had all the dogs in the yard but still no playing. I think it was because Nanuk and Madison were feeling a little sick. This morning though 20 minutes before mommy had to take him back to work he started playing with them and they all had a blast.
Yesterday mommy took me to the last day of my mother goose club. That is where we learn fun songs. It was lots of fun and mommy also got a cd of the songs to play.
Yesterday was also my daddy's birthday. I am not sure what that is yet but we got to go out for supper and that was lots of fun. I kept mommy busy by grabbing everything that was in my reach, that should teach mommy and daddy for forgetting to bring me my toys. Did you know that knives and forks make a lot o noise when they fall to the floor? I also had fun playing with mommy's menu. Daddy tried to give me small menu that was on the table but I wanted the big one.
We also met mommy's friend there too. So I had lots of fun keeping them all busy. Daddy and I also had a sword fight at the table, don't worry though we were only using spoons. After that daddy showed me how to fling a sugar packet across the table with a spoon, that was funny and I will have to remember how to do it.
When we got home the dogs were excited to see us. When we all settled down I sat in my excer saucer and played and giggled at maverick, I am not sure what I was giggling at he was just laying on the dog bed and I thought it was funny.
Mommy also got me a new bigger car seat for her car cuz I al getting bigger. Daddy is going to take the one in his truck out cuz I am too big for that one and he is going to put the one that was in mommy's car into his truck.

Well let see what else is up? Oh yeah! Does anyone know what has happened to the trees? I am kinda worried, they are not green anymore. I liked looking at the green leaves but now there are no leaves on the trees and there are a pile of things on the ground under the trees. Mommy said that they are the leaves but that can't be cuz they are not green. If anyone has any ideas as to what happened let me know. Also, what happened to the days? I like walking with the dogs and seeing everything but now it is dark when we walk. Why is that? I miss my sun. And it is not warm anymore. Now mommy and daddy have to put more clothes on me before we go out. How many layers soni need? The hat I don't mind, as longas it stays out of my eyes but the mittens are a pain. How am I supposed to grab anything with those things on? I want it to warm up so I don't need all those things on. On the bright side, a lot of the houses around here look neat in the dark. They have bright flashing lights on them and some even have things on the front yard so at least that looks good.
Mommy and daddy tell me that they are Christmas lights, what ever that is. They also talk to each other about putting up Christmas lights and where to put the Christmas tree. I think that they are crazy cuz they say that the Christmas tree is going to go in the living room. Don't they know you can't put a tree in the house? Trees are big and the living room is small. I can't wait to see their faces when they try it and I will say "see I told you so!" though it will probably come out as "da da ga goooo bluffffff. Lalala mmmmmm" but daddy will know what I mean.
Well I got to go now. I will be sure to let you all know how this tree in the living room goes so you can have a laugh. Also don't forget, let me know if you find out what has happened to all the trees and why is has gotten cold and dark out in my walks.
Later.

Almost back to work

Well I go back to work in a few days. All I can say is "I DON'T WANNA GO!!!!"
Baby sitter is all lined up and Brooke likes going there so that will be good.

I am surprised at how fast the time has gone by. It seems like yesterday I was finishing up painting the living room and taking Jen to the hospital.
I have enjoyed my time home with Brooke. It has been fun bonding with her. One second I need to see what she is into. Ok back, she was just playing with shoes at the front door.
Well this blog started by a few people who thought it would be fun to see what I go through being home with Brooke. Well it turns out that she is the best baby ever and it has been easy taking care of her. So I decided to write through Brooke's eyes just to make it interesting, which I think it is.
Now that I am going back to work I have been debating on keeping this blog going and I think I will I'll just change the name of it from stay at home dad to dad away from Brooke.
Or I'll just keep it the same and have fun coming up with new stories. Though none up till now have been made up, they are all 100 % Brooke. Lol.
Well I should get going now, I need to get Brooke lunch and something for me, and I think Brooke wants to use my phone.

Another note from Brooke.

Where to start? It has been so long since I wrote something I can't remember what I have done.
Last week mommy had Tuesday off again and she came to under one club with me. She kinda fooled me cuz she left early he had to go somewhere first. I thought she went to work. But daddy took me to under one club and when we got there mommy came in behind us, when I saw her I gave her big smiles. I had lots of fun and showed everyone there how well I can sit up on my own and how I can scoot around on my belly. I also showed them how loud I can be sometimes lol.
On Thursday mommy was off again and we met her friend at the dog trail with her dogs. We had Madison,Nanuk, Sid (not uncle Sid but doggie Sid) choco and Roscoe. It was lots of fun to see all the dogs running and having fun. Daddy was carrying me on his back in my carrier. After walking for a bit we saw mommy's boss and she walked with us too with her four dogs and another one that she was doggie sitting. That was lots of fun walking with 10 doggies. I was so full of smiles. It was so much fun that I didn't want to have a nap but I did any way while mommy was carrying me for a bit. When we got home Madison and Nanuk were so tired that they slept for the rest of the day and night and Nanuk was still tired the next day.

On the weekend grandma and Paul came over to help daddy out in new doors. Paul helped while grandma watched me. We had a lot of fun. Grandma took me geocaching. We went the wrong way the first time and ended up in a farmers field, I knew where it was but I was not going to say anything hehe I am such a stinker and not just when I have a poopy. We didn't find it that day but we went out on Sunday when grandma figured out where it was. Grandma and I also had fun playing games, she learns them so fast hehehe. I would clap and make noises then look at her I make sure that she did it right. I even played patty cake with Paul, and he is good at it. I even got to show grandma how good I am at scooting around. I had lots of fun with her. Also wriggly came over too. He is a silly dog. He loved running around outside with Madison and Nanuk but for some reason he didn't like going from the kitchen to the living room. Other than that he was happy to be here and he even gave me some kisses.

On Monday mommy was home and the two of us just spent the day playing and cuddling. It was lots of fun. Even though I like going places it was fun just to stay home with mommy. Daddy was working on the back door finishing it up so I didn't see him too much.

On Tuesday daddy and I went to under one club. He weighed me there and I was 18lbs 8 oz, wow am I ever getting big. When I was there I watched the other kids crawl around then I showed them how I do it. I even played with them a little and made a lot of the other mommy's smile by smiling at them, some times I find it too easy to get grown ups to smile and make funny noises but it is fun to do.

Well there is my week till today. And it is almost time to get daddy to get me my lunch. I would make it myself but I don't want daddy to know I don't need him lol don't tell him I said that. I still need him to change my poopies, those things can be messy.
I hope you all had a good week too and have a good week this week. I will try to write sooner next time, it all depends on when I can sneak daddy's phone away from him. Well it is time to hide under daddy's chair now and see if he can find me. Talk to you later.

Brooke.

First Halloween.

That is what Halloween is. I wasn't sure what to expect. Even though there was no yummy turkey there was lots of CANDY!!!!! Did you know that people just give you candy? I never knew that, it is so cool. I wonder how often this Halloween thing happens.
Mommy was able to come home early, I was napping when she got here but her and daddy woke me up. I didn't want to wake up but I was happy when I saw mommy. A couple of kids came to the door and daddy gave then candy. They were funny kids though, there were some princesses and robots and even some monsters, but it is ok they were not scary. Madison was happy with looking at them at the door but Nanuk was getting a little too excited.
Mommy then put more clothes on me, I don't know why cuz I was already dressed, funny mommy. When she was done I looked like a zebra. I wasn't sure what one of those was but I am guessing that they are cute cu that is what everyone who saw me kept saying.
When I was dressed mommy and daddy took me out to the neighours houses. It was so cool, we would k ock on the door and they would give us candy, it was so much fun to see them all and I gave then all big smiles.
Well any way I just wanted to let you know how my first Halloween was. As you can see it was lots of fun. I can't wait to do it again. I wonder how long I have to wait.
What is the next holiday? I don't k is but at the stores I am seeing a lot of red stuff, so it looks like it might be a fun one, I'll just have to wait and see.
Hope you all had a good Halloween. Talk to you all later.
