Brooklyn is growing up fast and quickly becoming quite the little toddler in our house. She is very mobile!! She took her first steps on October 5th and now she walks around everywhere. She spent a couple weeks interested in climbing up on the kid's table but luckily she is over that now. Instead she climbs up and down the stairs and is very good at it. Once she discovered them it didn't take her long to figure them out.
Playing peek-a-boo with Brooklyn makes me smile as she puts those tiny hands on her face--sometimes actually covering her eyes and sometimes just near her eyes. She babbles a bunch but doesn't say any words yet. She now has 10 teeth!! After getting her bottom 2 teeth back in the summer the next tooth that came was a back tooth which I thought was odd. I was sure the next teeth that would come through would be her front two teeth but instead she got the teeth on either side of that. I joked that she was going to look like a vampire with her fang teeth in and not her others. Luckily it wasn't too long before the front teeth broke through also. And just a couple weeks ago I noticed she has the other three back teeth coming in. No wonder we have been having to do Tylenol some nights to help her sleep good. She has been a teething machine!!
Brooklyn has become much better at sleeping. We spoiled her way too long. She didn't officially move into her crib until she was about 10 months old. And then I would rock her to sleep for her nap and at night with a warmed up bottle. I finally decided we needed to change some of these habits. The first time we put her in the crib awake and left her there to fall asleep she cried for an entire hour!! After an hour I told Craig to go get her and she fell asleep in his arms within minutes. A couple weeks later we decided to try again and it only took about 20 min. Now she is a pro and usually doesn't even cry. She sleeps all night (when she isn't teething) and takes a 2 hour afternoon nap.
