Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Tiff Comes to Visit

The Underwood family made their visit this weekend and boy was it well needed and well enjoyed. Of course, all the focus was on baby Brooklyn and her super cool faux-hawk. There was much love in the house as Grandma, Grandpa and "Cool Aunt T" got to experience what Amanda and I experience every day...the preciousness of Brooklyn. Of course what they did NOT experience was Brooklyn not sleeping all night long. Luckily, Auntie Tiff was staying at the house with us to help out. So the precedent has been set, all visitors that sleep on our couch must take part in the late night baby feeding and poop clean up. Naashon, you're up! 

Oh, and we all enjoyed some time on the Wii Fit. A family that looks stupid together, stays together :)

Next up, a visit from Nona, Poppa, Aunt Corri and Uncle Shonie!

More pictures of Brooklyn looking more and more like a person!

More Video for the Family

Follow the link below to see some more unedited video of Brooklyn. It will probably be boring for everyone else, but we're pretty sure the family won't mind.

Brooklyn says, "Peace Out!"

She's Alive!

We have posted more non-sleeping pictures of Brooklyn on our web gallery. She's much more fun when she's awake. She's so alive and curious!

And as you may have noticed, we changed the header of our page. Thanks Tiff and Aunt Teri for reminding us! We realize that this blog will more than likely end up dedicated solely to Brooklyn. Maybe when Amanda comes out of her daze in six weeks she'll start blogging about other things. But until then it's all about Brooklyn Grace!

Also, we want to thank Melissa and Tom for making and bringing us dinner yesterday. It was very much appreciated and we had a really good time. It was nice to have company over and have good conversation. They provided built in comedy as Tom has given up talking for lent. This means that we communicated with him either through Melissa or through non-verbal communication. What was funny was watching Tom trying to talk to Melissa without speaking. It was a perpetual game of charades. Who needs television when you have Tom and Mel. Nevertheless, the vegetable lasagna they made was excellent. And I am now a huge fan of Jones soda.

Brooklyn Opens Her Eyes

We finally got a few shots of Brooklyn with her eyes open. It took a while and it didn't last very long but something is better than nothing. Kanye has taken well to Brooklyn. She alerts us whenever Brooklyn makes a noise in her bassinet. She also stands guard whenever she is in the baby swing. Such a good dog. Also, we caught a shot of Brooklyn with her hands to her face (just like me) so that picture's for you mom and dad. All we have to do now is get her a "snarf!"

Brooklyn's Day (30 minutes) at the Park

Today we took Brooklyn to the park. It was her first time really spending time outside. She slept the entire trip but it was good for us to get out as well. Plus it was beautiful out today with warm 55 degree temperatures. There are more pictures on the web gallery (http://www.gallery.me.com/qallen24)
