Brooklyn

We had our first and hopefully last broken bone! Brooklyn fell down our stairs and fractured her radius. She was VERY picky about who got to sign her cast. It was on for 3 weeks and let me tell you I did not give her as many bathes as I would have. SO much more work when you have to bag it and make sure she holds it out of the water!
Brooklyn lost her first in January... she worked on it FOREVER! For the last few months and still now her hands are always in her mouth working on getting a tooth ready to come out! She lost it at school. As she came home and told me "Quinnlan told me to turn it, so I did and then I heard it crack and then it came out!" She was SO happy!
Miss B LOVES Lego. They have this new Lego for girls called Lego Friends and she just LOVES building things. In a home with 5 girls growing up we never had Lego, it pretty fun and I love her little imagination.

So she did end up having Strep Throat! So once again she is on antibiotics. She is already feeling SO much better, which make me a happy. I HATE seeing her sick or hurt!

update on my babies!

This right here is one of the funniest little girls ever... difficult, but funny.
I was taking a picture of Brooklyn and of course she wanted me to take a picture of her. (side note, in case you didn't notice she just finished an oreo)
So I take it and she wants to see it on my camera. The first thing she said when she saw it was "What!? Why is that on my face?" And starts wiping her around her mouth... If I am not ready to scream at this kid then I am laughing at her. She can be such a little pill, but sometimes Jord and I just have to laugh at her fiery little attitude.
Sick little girl. Brookyln's little immune system SUCKS lately. She seems to always be getting sick, it's not fun! Right now we are waiting for the results of a swab for strep throat. She just has a really REALLY sore throat, nasty fever and as always she is TIRED. Last week she was throwing up, a few weeks before that she broke her arm. I just feel like she is falling apart!
Ever since she had Mono last year she just seems to be getting sick ALL the time.
I think we eat generally pretty healthy. I am by no means a health nut, but I make about 90% of our meals at home. I feel like she eats pretty healthy, she takes her multi-vitamin on a semi regular basis. Why is she always getting sick?!
If anyone has advice how to boost her immune system I'll take it!
