Crowder Clan: Happy Birthday little "Snoogie!"

My little Brooklyn, aka: "Brookie", "bookie", "snookie","snoog","snoogie","snoogers" Happy 1st Birthday!!! Brooklyn is the joy of our little family. Everyone here loves to get kisses and hugs from Brooklyn and enjoy her cute little personality. We were so curious to see who this little 3rd person to our family would be. Over this past year we have come to know that Brooklyn is a very patient, calm, pleasant and easy going personality. She is easily pasified by those she trusts, and easily self entertained. Brooklyn's favorite things are books, babies, "nummies"(food/treats), being chased by daddy or mommy crawling around, being included with Tyler and Morgan with rides on anything that moves such as bikes, scooters, or blankets. She also LOVES eating grandma crowder's ice, and visits to pa-pa crowder's lap. (And any time and love from Grandma and Grandpa Braden- miss you guys!) Brooklyn does NOT like being pestered by Tyler, being picked up and moved constantly by Morgan, Mommy on the computer, Daddy taking her from mommy, or peas and sliced cheese.

Brooklyn has had a very special bond with Daddy from day one. There was something about his warmth and tender voice, that connected her at a young age. She has had a bond with him I think closer than Morgan or Tyler as babies.

Brooklyn brough so much joy to our family at a time of much stress and sadness. We were able to focus on the simple things in life and really enjoy the happiness that new babies can bring.

From day one Brooklyn has the most beautiful long eyelashes and bright eyes that glow. I Just love looking into them every day.

Daddy got the first smile, and the first smiles on camera! He just had a way to her heart, that she would give her BEST to him.

Brooklyn loves any attention and Play-time we give her. She happens to have a very silly personality, and find great pleasure and satisfaction in making her family laugh!

She loves loves loves good food, and trying little bites of anyone's food that offers. She especially likes treats!

This is a common expression of Brooklyn's, getting a "kick" out of daddy or Morgan doing something silly, and she not sure what to think of it.

You will often find Brooklyn under a table, chair, or peeking out from a cupboard to make you laugh, or make silly faces at you.

Brooklyn LOVES clothes or anything that she can put over her head. She will go out of a room to get something, and come walking in with it on her head, and looks at you like "do you see me? Aren't I funny? Giggle Giggle!" We have since learned to laugh at her when she is purposefully trying to get us to laugh.

Brooklyn is fascinated with nature and being out doors. She loves to wander around by herself outside. This is usually the only place that she can get some relief from being bothered or controlled by big brother and sister. Brooklyn is our little Angel and we love her so much! Happy Birthday sweetheart, we LOVE YOU!
