I tried to make her birthday as pink as possible: pink cake, pink presents wrapped in pink paper, and pink decorations. But she just wouldn't keep the pink bow in her hair!
Here she is in her blessing dress at 2 months old. Does the dress look familiar? It is a portion of my wedding dress that my sister, LaRene, recreated into a blessing dress. Hopefully, Brooke will have a little girl who can wear it also. 
10 months old in a dress her Grandma got for her in Viet Nam.
Brooke's hair is finally long enough for a pony tail!
(1 1/2 years old)
My only thumb sucker.
Brooke loves babies, purses, and other people's shoes! She is wearing Nicholas' shoes in this picture.
Labor stories are always fun: Even though she is our 3rd child, I was clueless about the beginning stages of labor since I had no labor with Nicholas (c-section) and Zach was induced. So I ignored the regular, mild contractions. By the time I realized this was the real thing, got the boys off to Grandma's, finished up whatever I was in the middle of, Brooke arrived 45 minutes after we got to the hospital! I didn't like the "no epidural" idea, but we had no choice. She arrived 9 days early weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces.
We love you, Brookie-girl!
