Beal Family: Sweet, sweet Brookelynn

Brookelynn is growing so much everyday! Learning new things and developing such as precious little personality. This morning we were eating breakfast and a little strawberry fell down her gown. (She normally wears a bib so we do not have to worry about dirtiness or silly strawberries) This morning she got extra dirty and was EXTRA silly! While looking for her strawberry she realized how fun it was to hide in her shirt...which turned in to a game of 'peek-a-boo'. She started this all by herself....I just played along...

On the weekend of July 11th we went around Texas in 3 days! We stared the weekend a little early by heading to Granbury for our Ratliff family reunion. It was too short...but fun. Granbury is such a cool little town. We ventured through the town square then headed to the town's sandy beach and swam a little bit...

When we got back from swimming Jared, Rachel and Jaxson arrived. Brookelynn was SO excited to see her favorite cousin.

She got cleaned up then started picking on Jaxson.

These are from our visit to town square...Brookelynn loves to chew on her Gigi's beads!

We got a lot of good family pictures this weekend.

On Friday we went to Abilene for Bailey's cousin's wedding. The rehearsal dinner was out by Buffalo Gap. It was a great time.

This was Brookelynn hanging off of a hammock...she thought it was so fun!

On Sunday...we headed to Weatherford for my grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary party! It was more fun times with the family...

This was the whole family picture minus Dad and Charlie.

Brookelynn is now eating table food...which is so fun and so messy and pushes me to be creative with her food. Her favorite so far, by far is blueberries. She loves them! They stain everything...including her hands and face. Some of her other favorites...(besides everything) are tortellini, green beans, spagetti with shell noodles and chicken breasts. She also eats lunch meat, carrots, peas, strawberries, rasberries, beans and she has even had a little ice cream!

Her is our sweet girl looking at bass boats with dad.

Her is our sweet girl getting into the entertainment center. She is a busy body and in to everything these days. She makes us laugh all the time. Oh and I went through a few days where I liked for her to wear only her diaper because she has such a cute little (healthy) body. And that little body is almost walking!

Bailey turned 28 this weekend and Brookelynn made her first craft for dad! We painted her hand and made a lot of hand prints so that we could put 28 of her fingers on top of a birthday cake for dad. She loved it! She was laughing as I painted her hand then so good to hold her hand out as we stamped the paper. She is such a great, easy baby! I am so thankful for her and we are SO thankful for her daddy! We love him so much!

Tasting the green paint...not her favorite!

Silly girl playing on mom's computer!

Friday is my day to work from home and be home with my Brookelynn. Every Friday morning I prepare the pool for the afternoon. We got a cool new water toy and we had so much fun this past Friday. I will post a picture of it later...it is a sprinkler mat...SO fun!

Brookelynn loves the water!

When I picked Brookelynn up on Thursday, Caryn had introduced Brookelynn to this fun walker. Brookelynn loved it. I had never seen her concentrate so hard. This picture was taken on Friday because I couldn't get her to smile on Thursday. She was too tired from walking all day and concentrating so hard.

So...for Bailey's birthday he got a boat... So this weekend we got everyone ready to go on the boat. Here is Brookelynn's new life jacket! it is hilarious. She can't stand up with it on because she is too top-heavy! We also got her so cool white shades...
