It goes so fast....

I know you hear it all the time and you kindly agree but you don't fully grasp this concept until you are faced with the reality of it yourself.  August 18th my baby turned 18 months old -hey does that make it her goldenish birthday? : )

I remember vividly the day I held her for the first time.  I know I shared Bella's birth story with you in this post but I haven't shared Brynn's yet.  Although not quite as dramatic as her sisters, its still just as precious to me.  But thats for another post.  In honor of her turning 18 months I'd just like to share what she's doing, saying, and is really in to!

You're more reserved
Once you're warmed up, you're giggly and smiley
You LOVE to give high fives and blow kisses
When you kiss you make a sound effect each time
You like to walk on your tippy toes
You love sitting in our umbrella stroller
You hate eating vegetables but will eat just about anything else
Your favorite food is yogurt
You LOVE sweets
When you run you sort of hop and toddle in a hurried fashion
You absolutely adore your sister, you want to do everything she's doing
For some time whenever we'd ask your name, you'd say, "Bella"
We would say, "No, it's Brynn." So then for some time when we'd ask, you'd say, "No, Bella."
Now you just say, "Me!"
You have about 40 words you say regularly, but you'll repeat anything (pretty clearly) back when we ask you
You have 12 teeth, 4 on top, 4 on bottom, and 4 molars
You've slept through the night, 12 hours, since you were 4 months old (took a little convincing!)
You take one nap in the afternoon, its usually 2.5 to 3 hrs long
You have always been in the 5oth percentile for growth
You run pretty close to your clothes size, towards the last month of an age chunk the clothes are getting pretty snug
I've sat you on the potty a few times, you like to push and make noises like you're trying to go but I haven't caught you in the act yet
You hair is getting longer but I'm afraid only in the back, you're sporting a mullet
You love to drink daddy's coffee : (
You love things with a strong flavor
You know lots of animal sounds
You know how to point to your eyes, nose, ears, hair, mouth, tongue, belly button, fingers, feet, and toes
You can count to 3
You do your best to sing the ABCs, Jesus Loves You, and Happy Birthday
Your favorite words are buckle and Beckham
You could spend all day playing with buckles, shoes, necklaces, and babies
You are very good at sticking up for yourself if sister bothers you
You have your moments when you don't want anyone to touch you or even look your direction (especially when you're working on #2)
But the next minute you'll love to be held and snuggle us like crazy
You have very sensitive skin but you tan very easily
Your hair in blond, and got blonder this summer but it is a darker shade than your sisters'
You are perfectly content playing on your own
Anytime music comes on you'll dance
You love to accessorize already, especially a pretty bow and a nice necklace
You love to bow your head and then yell, "amen!" when we pray
You love playing in water but you hate to be splashed
Anytime you're on a slide or swing, you say,"weee"
You enjoy watching Mickey Mouse and Dora, whenever Swiper comes you say, "Oh maaan."
If you fall asleep in the car you still let me transfer you to the crib to complete your nap
You LOVE to read books
You HATE to have your nails trimmed
You love brushing your teeth
You cry when we drop you off at the church nursery but you recover as soon as we leave (just enough to break mommy's heart) and the ladies just love you
You carry your blankie (which you used to call B just like your sister, despite mommy and daddy calling them coycoys, but you call it blankie now) everywhere, you've even been know to take it in the splash park until you've warmed up, then you're fine playing with out it
You suck your thumb when you sleep
Although you're usually a mommy's girl, the last few days you've been a daddy's girl
You've recently taken to sleeping with curious george and one of your babies
You have the most beautiful giggle and the most contagious smile 
Mommy and daddy love you more than words can describe and are so thankful God allowed us to be your parents!
Happy 19 Months Miley
