Guess What Grandpa Ernhofer!

Brooke has started to give us 'big squeezes'. There is a difference between a hug and a big squeeze. A hug is a gentle embrace where Brooke rests her head on our shoulder. A big squeeze, however, is when she wraps her hands around our neck and squeezes really tightly! (I used to do this a lot when I was younger, but I usually reserved my big squeezes for my Dad when he left for work and came home.)

Once Brooke started doing this with no promptings whatsoever, it was a sweet little reminder that she is like her Mama and loves her Dad to pieces.

Dumb Internet

I've tried and tried to upload a video of Brooke talking but it never works! It must be blogger and/or the internet service we get. LAME.

But anyways, the video is of Brooke saying 'pumpkin'! So cute! Well, actually it sounds more like 'pun-pkeh' but we know what she means.

Also, we've caught her saying other words like "No Mom"(she says that one a lot), "stop", "down", "milk", "popcorn" (which sound a lot like pumpkin) and "book".

There are a lot more random and funny words that she has said, but I just can't remember.

In other news, Gordon has a phone interview next Tuesday for a great job in Denver. We'll keep you posted on what happens!

I Dreamed a Dream

Last night I dreamt that I had another baby girl. She was beautiful just like Brooke, but we couldn't for the life of us figure out a name. So after two days, I just decided to name her Grace because she was such a good baby. Very random dream.

Will this actually end up happening? I doubt it, since Gordon hates the name Grace.

I like that name, though. And a few others Gordon hates too! Haha.

FYI

I'm doing a fun little giveaway on my food blog, so go take a look and enter!

I love this photo

I don't know why, but I just do. It was taken early one morning right after Brooke woke up. My two cuties!

The things I do to my child.....

If you can't tell from the photos, Brooke thought this was hilarious. For some reason, this reminds me of the Sound of Music. Weird.

Pretty Little Ballerina

These are some of my favorite photos from Saturday when we went to the Trunk or Treat. Brooke was really shy and a little freaked out by all the people dressed up, but by the end of the night, she was having a blast and running around. That doughnut she's holding in most of these photos really helped.

What a cutie! Sitting on Mom's lap enjoying her doughnut. I think she looks chubby in this picture which is a nice change from looking so skinny all the time!

Her tutu is riding low while she sucks all the sugar off her fingers. Brooke knows how to say 'tutu' too! So cute!

One of my favorites....

Another favorite....

Having fun with Mom!
