Growing growing and growing

You are sure starting to be such a big girl. You are trying to talk a little better and love to play with your toys as long as someone will play with you. As of the first of October you got a new big girl bed and have been sleeping good in it. Mommy or daddy has to sleep with you till you fall asleep then we sneak out and you sleep until morning and come and get us.

You were a monkey for Halloween this year and loved it! Mommy was a little sick so grandma eve took you to a few houses and all you wanted to do was go to more.

You are starting to kinda get the idea that mommy has a baby in her tummy. You tell the baby hi and that you love it. Soon enough we will get to find out if it is a boy or a girl. You keep telling us that you want a sissy but I don't think you understand what we are asking you.

You just popped in another tooth so this now make number 11. They are coming slowly but the dentist says that is a good thing. You are still a big snacker and don't eat much at meals but hopefully soon enough you will start. You are still a very healthy little girl and haven't gotten sick yet.

You are learning to count and can count to 5 good and then to 10 it is hit and miss. We are working on your colors but everything is blue or purple.

You love your grandma and grandpas. You ask all the time where they are and we tell you the same thing over and over but you ask again.

You are starting to get in your terrible twos and throw little fits when you dont get your way. You have forgot to say please and thank you. We are also starting to have to dicipline you more.

In the next coming weeks we are going to start working on potty training you. Mommy doesnt know if she is ready for it but I think you are so we are going to give it a try. I hope to have it all done by the time your new brother or sister gets here.

You are such a joy in our lives and mommy and daddy love you very much!!!

August

We have been very busy and you are just on the go all the time. This month we have gone to Nevada with daddy a lot so we get to see him lots. We have been to Elko about 5 or 6 times now and even in one week we were in Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Montana. We are home now for awhile so you can rest from all the driving.

Big Sister

We found out today that you are going to be a big sister. You don't know yet what we mean but when we ask you what is in Mommy's belly you say "baby". I cant wait till you start to understand a little more so you get excited about your sibling coming!!

911 Call

You have been waking up early in the mornings so for mommy to wake up a little I have been giving you my new cell phone to play with. I lock it so you cant get into it an delete anything. As I was laying there I heard a guy saying "Hello, Hello" and then I realized you had called somebody. So i grabbed the phone and said hello and it was the 911 dispatch on the phone and wanted to know if we had an emergency. I had to explain that you called them and i had to reasure them that nothing was wrong. From now on you are not allowed to play with Mommy's phone.

15 months old

Mommy took you to the doctor for your check up today and you did not like it at all. I think each time it gets better but you still cry alot. You got two shots again and that really made you mad. It is for your own good. You weighed 21 pounds 8 ounces. You are 36 1/2 inches tall. The doctor said you are in the 30% for your weight and 97% for your height. So hopefully you will be tall ans skinny. You can point to some of your body parts now, your hair, nose, tongue, button, and sometimes your eyes. You know what a kitty says, a puppy, a duck, and a cow. You are getting to big too fast!!

Another tooth

You have been really fussy lately and mommy just happened to notice that your bottom gums look really swollen. I managed to get my finger in there to feel around and found you have anoher top tooth on your left side. This now makes number seven.

Growing Growing Growing

Well lately Mom can not keep up with you. You are running all over the house getting into everything you can. You used to help me put things away but not anymore. The second i get something put away you pull it out again. Mommy hasn't had any energy lately and the house can tell. You are trying to talk a little better now. Everything is brobe (broke) and dad. You will sit and look out the window and just say "dad, dad, dad" over and over. I think you are starting to catch on that he is not here as often. You love to be naked and have figured out how to take your diaper off. The first time you did this was a couple weeks ago and I couldn't catch you in time for you to pee on the floor. You are not sleeping very well at night. If you are in Mommy and daddy's bed you are fine. Mommy has started to sleep with you in the spare bed cause you move to much and fall off the bed all the time. You are starting to be such a big girl and Mommy cant wait to see what the future holds with you. I love you Brooklin!!!
