A week in warm, sunny Phoenix with Liz's family.  Brooklyn had many first's while there.  She starting crawling, cut her first tooth & developed her "Grrr" face. 

 

 Grandpa Mike showing Brooklyn his skills with an orange.  She was entertained by his humor all week long.

 Unfortunately, this was about the only way to get her to take a nap, the entire two weeks.  Grandpa spent a lot of time out in the cul-de-sac walking her.

 Grandpa bought a bonnet for Brooklyn, similar to what great-Grandma Anderson had bought Liz when she was a baby.   She loved it and kept it on when we were in the pool or out in the sun.  I think she actually new it would keep the sun from her eyes and didn't pull it off.

 She also really liked her sunglasses and marveled how it changed the color of everything.  Here we are about ready to get into the pool at the community center.

 Family friend Rosie getting her grandbaby fix in, since she is away from her own over the next month. 

Grandma Mary & Brooklyn in the pool.  We were all amazed at how much she loved the water and didn't even care when her face became wet.
