What a difference...

A year can make!! As I was downloading pics tonight, I started going through all the pictures from the last year with Brooklynn. All I can say is WOW!!! She was so tiny!!! You honestly do forget how tiny they start out.....and how quickly they really do grow. I decided to post a few pics that really show the difference. I came across her bumbo seat in her closet a few days ago - its like a brand new toy to her. I had to laugh b/c her chunky legs can barely fit in there anymore - and once she sits down, I have to push them into place. Getting out of it is a whole other story - it stays stuck to her butt and thighs and she rolls around the floor trying to get it off - and of course she thinks this is the funniest thing ever - cracking up the entire time. Once she finally wiggles and squirms her way out she gets right back in and it starts all over again! Anyway...here are some pics from a year ago compared to now....


She was just under 2 months old in this pic...
no worries here about getting her legs stuck.


Here is the pic from a couple days ago -
what a difference!!!

Another thing I came to realize is how much fun Brooklynn has with Rocky and how much fun he has with her. They are always ready to play together - she throws a ball to him and he runs to get it, they play tug 'o war with whatever she can find in the room, she chases him around the room.....its so cute. He has been so amazing with her since day 1 when we got home from the hospital...Brooklynn is defintely Rocky's baby..... she jumps on him, tries to hug him and hang one when he tries to run away....he is just so gentle. And for those who have met him, understand how shocking this is. Yes he is a really sweet dog, but he is also a total livewire - its defintely the Terrier in him - he's a Boston Terrier. We would have never thought that he would take such good of her when she is around....but he completely surprised us. He can be running around 90mph and barking and growling with Daisy, but the minute Brooklynn comes by - he just stops and goes into baby mode. It is really amazing. Now if only we can work on Daisy.....lol!

This is the day we got home from the hospital

when Brooklynn was born....already Rocky is

glued to her side.

This is now - always together!

The funniest thing is looking back through all the pics - Rocky is in prob at least 75% of them.....alot of the time I crop him out but he's definitely right there with her all the time.
