...so many more than a thousand words. As I said in a previous post: this 18 month stage with Brooke is so fun yet so challenging. I find myself taking more naps now than I did when she was a newborn. When Brooke is awake I am always on the go with her: playing, chasing, jumping on the tramp, swinging, playing in the sand, running around the yard, getting into mischief inside the house, trying to wrestle her in and out of the car-seat or stroller.... so by the time 2 pm comes around I am exhausted and looking forward to when daddy will be coming home!I recently got Brooke's 18 month picture taken from Kristina Curtis Photography. I won a free photo session from her back in December but hadn't been able to meet up with her until now. I first met Kristina when she took my friend Sarah's wedding pictures (and if you have time and like to look at amazing wedding photos, take a peek). I already knew she was talented, but this session with Brooke convinced me even more of it. First, Brooke and I drove 3 hours for the photo session. Brooke was so grumpy and tired of being in the car and would not cooperate at all. She kept running away and at one point tripped and fell and cried and cried. I came home from the session feeling a bit disappointed, feeling like there was no way Kristina was able to get even 1 good picture. Then I got the images back and was amazed! These pictures capture Brooke's personality perfectly. When I look back at these pics years from now, I will always remember this crazy age.
she loved the mailbox (they were real ones btw, with real mail inside) and the only way she'd stay sitting on that green chair was by playing with/eating rocks

Wow! Those are incredible! Especially with how awful the trip seemed to turnout! Those are priceless. I love them.
Those are great pictures. We should change Brooke's name to Justice as she is what Blake deserves. He was 100 times worse as a baby. Sorry, I should have told you what you were into when you got married. Speaking of trouble makers: What about some pics of "If you build it they will come"?
Good Luck with Brooke if she is like her Dad things will get a lot worst before they get better. I used to call him the energiser bunny.
we love all of you guys. See you in October.

It had to be worth the trip to see these darling pictures afterward. They are darling. She looks so big. I know I keep saying that but her levis make her legs look so long-not that they aren't! Don't you just want to chew on her all day long. Thanks for the blogs. It makes a mission do-able. Love you!
Way cute! I love "real life" photography, and your photographer did an amazing job. Toddlers certainly make you work for those good shots. :)
what adorable pictures...
Glad I got to see all of them, they are precious and I love the collage you did.
Those are so cute! I loved our wedding pics--thanks for showing them! Kristina did a great job!
Love them! I especially like the ones on the couch. It's so nice to have a good photographer to be able to capture their personality at this age because they change so fast!
