Our Baby Girl

Little Brooke to me feels like she is just growing up SO FAST it is SO CRAZY to me! I can't believe she is already 2 weeks old today, where did those 2 weeks go? People are not kidding when they say that having children speeds up your life. I just get sad every time I think this little girl is going to grow bigger and is no longer going to be this itty bitty. I just love her SO MUCH and so does her daddy!
Little Brooke is such an amazing baby to me, she seems so strong and so smart for her age. Maybe it is just that she is MY kid but seriously she is the coolest! She already is a CHAMP when it comes to sleeping at night. She sleeps for 4 hour blocks which makes me only get up 2 times in the middle of the night to feed her, AMAZING! I really do not feel that I am lacking in sleep which is super nice! She LOVES riding in the car, as long as the car keeps moving, when we stop she wakes up and cries till we start moving again :) She LOVES the outside, if she is crying and I walk outside with her she stops crying and just looks all around. She is SUPER alert for her age and came out that way. People say that about her all the time when they see and hold her. She has been holding up her head since we were in the hospital, her neck is SO STRONG!!! She already finds her hands to suck on them to calm herself. I think she would be a thumb sucker if I let her, I think I prefer the thumb over a binkie but right now we are going with both, LIMITED usage but still using them! I just love her to death and by the time a long nap is up I just CAN'T WAIT to hold and kiss her again!
Ok here are some pictures from today that I took, I just went crazy with the camera while she was in her swing but what can I say, she is SO CUTE!
