BABY! Oh.. you already knew that? It's another girl for the Sturtz Family! I'll post pictures of the ultrasound soon. This little girl was completely different then Brooke. She is sitting frog style in my tummy with her feet together and her knees far apart. She showed all!

Brooke's New Bike Helmet

I didn't feel very confident in Brooke's other bike helmet that I bought for $5 at a consignment sale so we got her a new one last week. She had a choice between yellow and red and she chose the yellow one. She didn't take the helmet off for the first 2 days except to sleep. She looks good in it though, don't you think?

Pregnant Belly - 18 weeks

Brooke got a balance bike from her grandpa, and she's made alot of progress lately.. I'm sure she'll be flying down the street in no time!

Brooke's first Backpacking trip with Daddy!

Brooke and Daddy went backpacking on Guanella Pass with Grandma and Grandpa this weekend. It started out rough as the pass was closed due to a rock slide and they had to backtrack and come up over the pass the other way. They eventually made it to camp Friday night. Brooke seemed to love camping! Matt is looking forward to taking her next year already!

Mommy had a great weekend too. I had dinner and saw a movie with a friend on Friday night. On Saturday I went with a bunch of moms from my mom's group to a fabulous lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and then pedicures. And Saturday night I had a sleep over, and played games with Jen and Wyndy. Sunday when Matt and Brooke returned, we then went to see an AWESOME Cirque du Soliel! So much fun! But I missed Brooke and Matt terribly the whole time!

Daddy carrying Brooke. She carried her pack most of the way in, but had to be carried quite a bit while carrying her pack.

Brooke sleeping in her sleeping bag. Matt said she roasted the first night because the bag was so warm, so she slept in just her diaper in the bag, with no Pj's the second night.


Brooke playing in the hammock. This was one of her favorite things about camping, next to playing in the water.



Brooke having some lunch with grandma. Camping is dirty business!


Playing in the pine needles.



Brooke's favorite activity was playing in the water!

Even the Lovey gets to go camping!

OCD?

Brooke can spend forever arranging and rearranging her stuffed animals in her room.. OCD or just cute?
