Friday, February 24, 2012. It's so fun being a girl! So today I couldn't resist the urge to paint her fingernails. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.haha! After a lot of struggle to get her to hold still, this is the end product. More paint got on her skin than on her nails and so I had to clean it up a bit. Needless to say I don't know if I will do that again for a while so I thought I would capture the moment. Saturday, February 18, 2012. Brooklyn brings such joy to our lives!

Friday, January 11, 2013. Brooklyn's 1st birthday party! December 8th, 2012 Brooklyn turned 1! We decided to drive up to Fremont to spend the day with Bismarck's family. Bismarck's mother and sister Darlene were there to see Sheba and Andre's new baby daughter Eva and it was just perfect timing. I honestly thought Brooklyn would go crazy with the cake but she just picked at it slowly. We played a little game together called How Well Do You Know Me? Thursday, January 10, 2013. I am so grateful that I can ...

Thursday, August 9, 2012. Bath time and L.A. Before we left for L.A. Brooklyn had her first bath in the tub instead of the baby bath. She absolutely loved the rubber ducky. What a darling! She is such a happy girl and just brightens my day! A few days after arriving in L.A. Bismarck's friend Ryan and his family invited us to go kayaking at Balboa Beach. It is such a quaint, adorable place. I kept thinking it would be such a fun place to go for a honeymoon or anniversary! Perhaps one day we will do that.

Thursday, March 29, 2012. Too tired to stay awake! Today after dinner Bismarck was holding Brooklyn while working on the computer. We try to keep her awake after 6:00pm so that she will go down for bed easily. However, she was just too tired today. What a darling! Thursday, March 22, 2012. Yesterday we decided to start Brooklyn on rice cereal! She did a great job for the first time, although I think more got on her face than in her mouth. Thursday, March 1, 2012. Brooklyn is now three months old!

Thursday, January 10, 2013. Here is a slideshow I put together of Brooklyn's first year. It didn't upload very well and so the quality doesn't look so great but you get the picture! On December 8th my baby girl turned 1! I can't put into words how much I love her! There are so many precious moments each day that make motherhood the most meaningful and precious gift Heavenly Father could give any woman! I am so grateful that I can be with my little angel forever! January 10, 2013 at 10:15 AM.

Saturday, June 30, 2012. Brooklyn met her only living great grand parent Grandma Beatrice. It was so wonderful to spend time with her. In Ghana people sell in the streets everywhere you go. I found it so interesting to see the kinds of things people would balance on their heads. It is a part of the culture that I adore. We went to the National Theater in Accra and saw some pretty interesting pieces of art and instruments they sometimes use in their performances. We ate lunch together at the hotel. As...

the odei's: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Bismarck's Birthday

Friday, December 14, 2012. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Bismarck's Birthday. It has been forever since I posted. Better late than never though. Our ward had a fun party and Trunk or Treat! I have never gone to a Trunk or Treat before. Some people went all out decorating their trunks. Next year we will have to participate! I just loved watching Brooklyn walk around in her costume. She looked so funny with the padding. This apple kept her occupied and made her so happy while we sat and talked at the park!

Thursday, May 16, 2013. Beach and Playground Time. Brooklyn is so active right now! She just loves being outside! Even though it can be hard to chase after a 17 month year old when I'm 22 weeks pregnant, it is worth the exhaustion to see the pure joy and delight on her face! But I wouldn't have it any other way. I am amazed at how well she does climbing up and down the stairs and going down the slide on her own. She even tries to climb up the slide. I really have to keep my eye on this girl! She is begin...

Thursday, May 31, 2012. Mummy Jo's 50th Birthday. For Bismarck's mother's birthday we all flew to New York City to celebrate. It was a wonderful experience, one that I will always treasure! Brooklyn in the airport. We stayed at the New York Palace! It was such a gorgeous room and the bed was so cozy. I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. Our first day in New York we went to breakfast with everyone. It was super fancy and delicious! This is a picture of my french toast. Mummy Jo (Bismarck's mother) is su...

Saturday, April 7, 2012. Tomorrow Brooklyn will be exactly 4 months old! I can't believe how fast time is flying! We decided to take some pictures out in the lovely spring weather. Brooklyn was a good sport although towards the end she was very tired. I just adore my little baby girl! I feel so grateful for her sweet and loving personality. She is such a happy baby. I cannot even count how many precious moments I have with her every day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Click the picture to learn more.
