Babbling Brooke

Ya know, before Brooke was born, I swore that I would NEVER call her babbling Brooke, but now that she's here and well.. babbling, it just seems to fit. She seriously loves to talk. She's starting to squeal really loud when she gets excited and it cracks me up! She has this deep, raspy voice when she talks and it always puts a smile on my face when I hear it. One of my most favorite things is that she giggles and laughs when you talk to her. Being a mom is so exciting! Everyday is an adventure.

I am starting to realize that Brooke does not like to be put in her cradle (by our bed) but she will go to sleep in her crib in her room. Her room is right next to ours, but I'm not sure if I would be comfortable having her longer than an arm's reach away from me during the night. I would like to start putting her down in her crib while I'm still awake (I don't go to sleep until 12-12:30) to try to establish an earlier bedtime routine. What age is appropriate to have a baby out of your room? 3 months just seems so young to me, but I'm new at this, so I don't know. It's hard for me to put her down earlier than 11, because she cluster feeds from usually 9-11 or 11:30. So many challenges as a mother! Does anybody have any suggestions for me? I just want so badly to be a great mom and to do things right.

Well, I'm off to do the endless job of laundry. Yucky! I hate it!! I hope every one's enjoying their weekend.

AWW she always tells wonderful stories to me too!! I never even thought of "babbling Brooke"! I think that's so cute!

"Down by a little babbling Brook once more i wonder and in a shady nook i'll dream the hours away. so every night down upon my knees i'll pray the Lord to please take me. Back to that little old green valley far away." My grandma always sang that song to us when we were little! so sweet!

She is quite the little talker. I love to listen to her sqeal!
