Brooke is now 8 months old and is weighing around 22 lbs! She is wearing 9 & 12 month clothing. During this past month we had another ear infection in her right ear! Brooke is also teething and she now has bumps where her two bottom eat will come in. I would expect teeth anytime or it could still take several weeks. But she is chewing on everything!! Brooke is drinking about 25 - 28 oz a milk and eating two meals a day.
Brooke is now able to pull herself up while holding onto your fingers. She has tried to pull herself up on the toys but hasn't succeeded yet. She has developed the locked leg syndrome (as we call it). Try to place her on her bum and she locks her legs and just wants to stand. She hasn't started crawling yet but every now and again you will find her on the hands and knees. Lastly we are working on her walking skills. She has been able to take some steps while holding onto your hands.
Brooke's hair is starting to grow! She has little winglets over her ears now and isn't sporting that mowhawk like she had back in December. Julie even showed up to my work with a bow in Brookes hair. Also, Brooke loves looking at herself in the mirror, playing peeka-boo and looking at photos.
So Happy! 
What a cutie!!
Sitting up like a big girl!
On the food front we have tried a couple of more foods: avocado, yogurt, blueberries, cherries, multi grain crackers,cottage cheese, egg yoks, white potatoes and green beans. For Brooke to eat veggies you must hide them in some fruit. Brooke is also good at feeding herself puffs and chucks of pear and banana.
