Brooke is 4

Well it happened again, she aged another year. Most times she acts so much older that I forget how little she is yet when I look back at pictures she is truly becoming a big girl. This was the first year we let her have a birthday party with her friends from school. She has been planning a Pump It Up party since the day she turned 3 (true story!).

Birthday Girl

 

Brooke and Brooklyn

 

Brady and Blake on the rock climbing wall (the rooms were glow in the dark thus the weird lighting)

 

Attempting a group picture....

 

We invited Adelyn and Brady to the party because she loves them as much as Blake does.

 

As if one party wasn't enough, the next night we had her family birthday party. She got to sit in the birthday chair at the head of the table.

 

On her actual birthday she woke up to find her present was a new "big girl" bike!!

 

So excited to start riding she wore her helmet around all morning

 

Case in point, eating breakfast with her helmet

 

Finally at the park and on her bike. She loves the basket to take her stuffed animals with. It was a bit difficult for her to pedal (hopefully Daddy can make some adjustments) but fingers crossed she is a pro by the end of the summer.

Brooke's 4 year stats:

37.5 lbs

Still loves her blankies

Only wears her hair in a ponytail (even while sleeping)

Refuses to wear socks or underwear (we are trying to fix this!! ha)

Wakes up sooooo early. Girlfriend does not like to sleep. (up around 5:30 am daily)

Very opinionated and bossy

Still wants to snuggle and be cozy. Her favorite is to watch a movie on the couch while Daddy makes a fire

She truly makes our family complete and adds so much joy and love to our house. We love you Brookie Bean!!
