Happy Birthday Brooklyn

Brooklyn is three today. Although, if you ask her how old she is, she'll tell you, "I'm halffree." I'm not sure what this means. Halfway to three? Three and a half? Maybe it means three in another language?

Here's a little video I took before Christmas. This kid could fall asleep anywhere, anytime.





And here's an oldie, but goodie...



Happy Birthday, Baby Girl! I love you!

    Happy Birthday Brooklyn!!!
    Dawn - I'm usually not good at telling if a kid looks like somebody, but when I saw the picture at the pool and the one after it, I thought that she really looks like you!

    Happy birthday!
    my bff from high school is going to have a baby any day (or Monday for sure) and is naming her Brooklyn. I always loved the name!! Maybe I'll suggestion Oata as a nickname, so she can be as confused as I am :)

    Oh my goodness! She is so cute! Happy birthday cutie! My kids got a kick out of her tickling herself. They had to start tickling everyone in the room. I have to ask too...who made that gorgeous blanket in the background of the first video?

    Happy Birthday, Brooklyn! Okay, so Dawn, that sleepy video is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. So, that is what happens when you drug your kids, huh? (COMPLETELY kidding - I love it!)

    My baby's birthday is today too. It must be an extremely special day!! My youngest is 5 though. I get to send her to kindergarten in August! YEAH!!! Ooooohh...I mean boo hoo! LOL!

    She is a cutie! I love the one of her sleeping in her pink polka dot nightgown, reminds me of my Katie!

    I hope she had a great day!

    *tears streaming down face* Ooohhhhh, so cute....your baby is 3 and mine turns 7 in April....WHY????? Why do they have to grow up??????

    She is SO cute, just like her mamma. I bless you with patience as yet another child gets into more trouble and bats those eyes at you in the every popular "who me, not me" smile. Give baby girl kisses from a friend.

    *wiping tears away.* *sniff*

    Love ya, girlie!

    Happy Birthday Brooklyn! so fun being 3!! That video of her sleeping is priceless:-) Can't wait until your book launch party! You've come a long way babeeeee!;-)

    I have to ask...I know you are going to reply "no idea," but maybe someone else can enlighten me. Somehow over the year, my links to your site changed. I used to get an email with a link to your site. Now...I only get an email with the whole text listed. (so if I never go to your site do you get the "hit"?) I digress...I've tried to change my sign up to your site, but am unable to just get an emailed link, it only emails me the full text. I like going to your site because I can read comments and see all the exciting pictures, etc. I know, more rambling than you care to read, but it's annoying. Have you heard this from anyone else? Am I just blog impaired? You are a breath of fresh air!

    She is a DOLL! If we didn't have an "S" theme going, I would love to use the name Brooklyn if we ever have a girl. Although the boys names all start with S(Stephen, Sebastian, Spencer, Sterling, Seth) our names start with the letter B. Making us the family full of B/S. HeHe. Several people have said if we have girls, we should name them B's as well. So who knows.

    Oh a totally random side note, does Brooklyn snore? If she does, and the fact that she falls asleep like that, and the fact that she pitches sooo many lovely fits for you, would make me think that perhaps she has a touch of sleep apnea. An ENT could confirm with a sleep study. Just a thought...

    Sorry for the LONG comment. Husbands been gone for a month and a half and I guess I'm lacking in adult communication.
