Giggles, Bubbles, and Changes

Things are starting to swing into the busy season here on the farm. Our cows are calving right now, and so far we have had ten calves, with no deaths. We still have a few to go of ours, and then the wack load of Curtis' cows. That's when it gets really crazy. Hopefully we dont have any crazy spring storms this year to make things a pain in the butt.

Im really looking forward to Easter so that I can take some pictures of Brooklynn. I bought her these cute bunny ears for pictures. They look so cute on her. And of course, I'm super excited for some chocolate....not that I need it. Nope, definitely dont need it...still fat.

There have been a few changes going on, but not many. First off, Brooklynn can play by herself more now so it gives me time to actually make decent food for supper instead of garbage. Made really yummy tomato tortellini soup last night that I have never made before, meatloaf the day before, and homemade BBQ chicken pizza the night before. Tonight I think will be steak and potatoes and mixed veggies. Btw, I have SOOO much meat in my freezer. We butchered a cow, and took the entire thing. Well I have one little corner of misc. stuff, and the rest of my freezer is meat! I probably have like 20 roasts, and about 200lb of ground beef, plus tonnes of steaks and burgers. Its packed right full! I think we are going to give some away for our ward service auction of the youth programs.

I just switched Brooklynn over to her crib today, at least for her naps to start. She is getting too long for her bassinet. She somehow slides down to the bottom, even though she is swaddled, and then she is a scrunched up at the bottom. So we are trying to switch her over to the crib. The only thing I am worried about is that in the night when she starts fussing, I usually just get up and go put the soother back in or reposition the blanket around her head and she goes back to sleep. But having her in her crib means having her in the other room, so if she starts fussing I have to go all the way to her room instead of just across my bedroom. Hopefully she does okay. I did put a cd player in her room, and bought a set of primary music cds, so hopefully I can just play that all night and she will soothe herself if she starts to squirm or fuss. Lol that just means Ben and I get to listen to primary music over the monitor all night. We will see.

 Its pink because I turned the flash off so you can see how the pink curtains turn everything pink in her room during the day. 

The funnest thing to happen this week was on tuesday night. Ben and I went to a movie for our weekly date night. It was good, but we missed something even better. My dad was playing with Brooklynn, and all of a sudden she broke out into laughter! It was just out of the blue! She had never done it before, not even close to a laugh. So Ben and I missed it :( But luckily my parents got it one video. Its so stinkin cute, it just makes me giggle everytime I watch it. I have been trying to get her to laugh again, but no success.

(for some reason it wouldn't let me post a youtube video)

Instead of laughing, she just wants to mimic. So she has discovered how to blow bubbles and make raspberry noises (spit). I was trying to copy what my dad was doing to try to make her laugh, and she just copies now. Its super cute too. I just wish she would laugh again. Oh well, soon enough she will remember.

she loves looking at the camera. stops whatever she is doing, so its hard to catch anything

Its crazy to think that this was her not to long ago, she is changed so much!

Update:
-she now weighs a whopping 11lb 14oz! Thats 4lbs in three months, so she is right on track. I think they say about 1.5lb per month.
-still in size 1 diapers
-size 3-6 month clothes, mostly. Some 0-3 stuff and some 6-9 dresses. It just all depends on the clothes. I never really trust the sizes. Some dresses say like 12 months, but I can put her in them now and they fit good enough to wear.
-loves bathtime
-still trying to roll over, but can spin 360* on the floor like a breakdancer from trying to roll over but just scooching her legs over instead.
-she tries to sit up anytime she is in a half reclined position. It sure seems like she will sit up long before she will roll over.
-she is finally starting to get a little meat on her bones and not be such a scrawny little thing. She is still pretty tiny, and the 3-6 month close are still a little big around but she has to wear them for the length. Still a petite little thing.
-sleeps 10or11pm to 8am
