Brooke as a Baby and Toddler
From the moment Brooke came into the world on July 22, 2008, she was showered with affection and attention from a loving family.
She immediately became the center of her father, Josh’s, universe, and Stacie visited Brooke continuously. After Josh obtained full custody of Brooke when she was 19 months old, Stacie ensured she was surrounded by a village of relatives, including Stacie’s sister Penny, brother-in-law Bill, niece Kaylynn, niece Sasha, and brother Jay.
