Time flies. I say it all the time and with every child.
I'm trying to keep up with documenting moments in our kids lives so that years down the road when they read our blog books, they will know what they were interested in at this time in their lives and what they were like! So here's the last few months of Brooklyn's life!
At 10 months she was taking 4 bottles a day, taking 2 naps a day, eating any and all baby food we gave her (except for Mangoes, nectarines, and peaches-- she has reactions to all these foods). We've even started feeding her some table foods and she's enjoying tasting new foods. She's crawling everywhere and has even mastered crawling up and down stairs. She unwillingly will walk around in a walker, but only lasts a few minutes at a time. She is standing up in her crib and pulling up on things. She walks around from one place to the next holding onto furniture. She's battled several ear infections and colds this month, which is probably due to the back and forth traveling we've done. She learned to wave bye bye, stand up by herself without holding onto things, and learned to stand up from sitting down. She even started drinking water from a sippy cup. 
Days after we flew back to Saudi, B turned 11 months and grew up on us. On Christmas day, she began taking steps to walk by herself, but only makes it 2 or 3 steps before falling! She's trying though! She started taking less bottles and eating more table foods. She'd prefer picking up food to feed herself, rather then be fed with a spoon. That's been fun! Brooklyn has become extremely playful!!! She laughs and goofs off and loves when we chase her around. A huge milestone this month is that B got her first tooth. It seems like it's taken forever to happen and it took about 4 days for it to fully break through, and she struggled through it with every possible side affect to teething. She toughed through it though. B also learned how to clap! Now, she claps every time we stand her up to get her to practice walking. I guess she's use to us clapping for her when she walks, she just does it right away.
99% of the time, if Brooklyn isn't sitting on her knees, she is sitting in a hurkey type position. It's really funny to watch and think that's comfortable to her, but she doesn't mind.
Brooklyn has been a busy girl lately as we prepare for her turning 1. She's moving around more and more around the house and is into everything. We now have to keep the bathroom doors closed because she enjoys pulling down toilet paper and playing with the toilet water. She loves climbing into the dishwasher and fridge, and sneaks up the stairs anytime she finds the gate opened! A few days ago, I found her outside in the front yard where Miles left the door opened and she snuck out. She went to her first all girls party and had a blast. She even came home with a painting of her handprints turned into lollipops.
Brooklyn is right there with her brothers and is into EVERYTHING. She's not affected one bit by getting dirty and playing with the boys! She has fun splashing around and making messes in one minute and the next she's nurturing and mothering all her baby dolls with kisses.
