Weekend Update

So I feel that Tracie is generally better at posting ever since Brooke was born. She's got all the funny anecdotes, etc. Maybe it is because she is around Brooke all day. So Tracie spend the afternoon with Robyn and I watched Brooke. See if you can notice an improvement in this post. First order of business is that Brooke is into sucking her hands. This leads to the inevitable slobbery face, chin, mouth and also to Tracie and I pondering whether or not she could get the whole fist in her mouth.

We went on a walk after Tracie got home. It was a little chilly outside so we put on her ear jacket. Tracie is hoping that it is cold next week in Utah so she can wear the whole outfit. This is a frequent position for Brooke when she is being burped. Somehow this helps.

So Brooke is beginning to make more noises, especially when she is happy. When she is sad, she makes this face, which despite her best efforts, make Mom and Dad laugh. Love the lower lip.

So I did not anticipate how fun it would be to dress up Brooke on Sunday. It makes it that much easier to get volunteers to hold her during the meetings!!

So on a somewhat related note (Brooke watches the games with me), I find it exciting that BYU is ranked #11 in the country. Usually I try and downplay the BCS talk for BYU, since it generally leads to disappointment. But I embrace it this year, since there will be no controversy about BYU going to a BCS bowl if BYU goes undefeated. This season has been two years in the making, and BYU won't get this kind of chance every year. Take advantage of it if you can. (We'll do our part at the Air Force game!)
