I haven't written a lot lately, and I just realized that I have taken a few pictures! So here is a bit about what we've been up to lately! We have been hanging out with some of Brenna's cousins. They like to go to Westgate and play in the water, and we also took a trip to the Heard Museum in Surprise.
Brenna loves the water fountains!
Brenna got her first helium filled balloons and they entertained her for hours and days. I think they're still floating around here somewhere waiting to be popped!
She finally left her sunglasses on for long enough for me to snap some pictures!
Cool dude!
You can't really tell here, but we tried another pony tail and it worked ok, but I definitely like it better when her curls aren't pulled back... much cuter!
With Daddy's help, Brenna was able to climb a ladder! She thought this was very cool, but we put it away right after this to avoid any accidents!
Brenna's getting very mischievous and we have to keep a special eye on her these days... especially around the garbage and recycling! She also recently started putting on my flip flops. It is pretty funny to watch her try and walk in them!
I have been trying lately to get a good photo of Brenna smiling. She always does a really goofy smile lately, and although it does crack me up, I am trying to get a sweet smile picture! Here are some examples of the goofy smile:
Ok, I just like her eyes in this one.
This is her "I'm not going to pose" face.
...and there it is!
Always with the eyes closed!And then finally this last Sunday afternoon, I was able to catch her sweetest smile on film! I'm fairly proud of myself! Either way, goofy smile or not, she sure is a cutie! (If I do say so myself!)
In our lives Jeremy's keeping busy with work, and he's also completed one full week of his P90X workout program. It's a pretty intense program, and I'm proud of him for jumping in full heartedly. He's eating right and working out at least 1 hour every day, determined to get some muscle definition before our Christmas trip to Mexico! Which is great, because I'll be nice and big and pregnant by then, so we'll be a perfect match.
Brenna and I keep busy at home playing, learning, and growing a baby. Brenna is talking a little bit now and says things like no, thank you, peekabo, daddy, yah, 1,2,3!, and she signs please, but won't say it out loud. It's lots of fun to be here to watch her grow and develop, and I'm so glad I get to be here with her! My one complaint right now is that she is a very picky eater. The only veggie she'll eat is corn, ON THE COB only. So we're working on sneaking some veggies in to other foods!
I have been feeling a lot better, and have mostly stopped being sick. I am starting to show (which is scary because it's happening SO much faster than last time) and to feel pregnant. We get to find out what we are having in two weeks, and I can barely think of anything else! We're all very excited to learn more about our little guy/gal!

I'm convinced that Charlotte and Brenna would be best friends with their cheesy grins, curly hair, dumpster diving, flipflop and sunglass wearing, corn on the cob eating interests.
Lana, You are such a cute mom! I love getting on here and reading about you and Jeremy, and esp. cute little Brenna. What a sweet little niece. I wish I could be closer to play with her and go to WEstgate with you. My kids sure loved it when we went there a few years ago (has it really been that long?). I wish I was better at writing about our goings on. You are an inspiration. Good luck in 2 weeks. I voted for a boy, because we need more in the Cook line! Love ya! Nichole
Brenna looks so grown up! In the pictures where she's smiling especially. I just thought I'd let you know that I'm sitting in the cafeteria at the Wilk right now and I got your e-mail about your blog so I came and read all the ones I missed and got rather emotional and it was a little embarrassing. The pictures sure made me smile though :)
