Happy St. Paddy's Day!

This post will mainly be pics of who else?! Brooke! She is a very animated little girl. I refuse to teach her what our address, phone number or any other important information is right now because she would tell ANYBODY she met! She is not afraid of strangers at all, and I tell people she definitely got her outgoing personality from her Daddy because I was not the least bit outgoing until years of being around Steven..... She loves to T A L K. To the point where at least once an evening we tend to call her chatterbox and ask her if Daddy or Momma can get a word in. She is still learning and absorbing like a sponge, and I never truly understood that term until I became a mom and get to watch the things she picks up SO quickly. I am having a hard time right now because she will be FOUR already in less than a month, and she won't let me forget it for one single minute. She already has 'plans' for her birthday, what she'll wear, what we'll eat, etc.....

Brooke playing with her laptop that USED to challenge her.....now I think it's just a way to pass a few minutes.

These are her 'married flowers'. We got them the last time we ventured to a craft store (which is really often). She will get dressed up in a princess dress, heels, etc....turn some music on and very slllllloooooowwwwwwlllllyyyyy walk from her bedroom to our back door. If you interrupt this process or even talk she WILL start over. She is getting married. Yep, already causing Daddy a few extra gray hairs!

As mentioned earlier my folks came to visit last week. When they are here, namely Granny, I could disappear as far as Brooke is concerned. So, this time I decided to disappear in books and enjoyed my relaxation. I realized I hadn't read a real book (meaning without pictures) other than 'What to Expect in the First Year' since Brooke was born, and I thoroughly enjoyed the escape.

The picture is a very happy girl who had just received a very early Easter bunny.

In her own words "this is my makeup. this is how Granny puts HERS on." Well, thankfully my mother doesn't.....but it was still too cute not to share!
