17 Months

Oddly enough I was wrong the other day. That never happens. :) Me and Brandon had been arguing(take that very lightly) about how old Brooklyn is. I was determined she was 16 months old--Brandon argued that she is 17 months old and we only have one more month till this darling little monster gets to go to nursery. :)
After about 20 minutes I came to terms that my beautiful babe is in fact 17 months old. Harsh reality people. Harsh. 

This 17 month old in a nutshell. . . . .
* Is a hoot...she cracks us up all day
*Is a little sister and all that annoying-ness that comes with it (just ask Ky, he gets so frustrated with her)
*Is a tease! 
*Loves her older girl friends. She now says Jaelie and Gratia....but struggles to say Kyler. Sad. When Jaelie walks in the door after school Brooklyn literally runs to her with open arms and hugs her to death before she can even take off her backpack. 
*Has a hard time with baby's  Madison is a baby i tend that is 2 months younger than Brookie. They dont get along. Brooklyn is a bully. Im afraid for this baby to come. It better come tough!! :)
*Loves trucks and animals. 
*Does love to carry things around. Baskets, cups with stuff in it, or mostly chairs. She moves chairs all over the house. She mostly sticks to child size chairs, but it is not limited to them.
*IS A CLIMBER (she scares me to death)
*Has no fear. NONE. She will jump off anything and has pure childlike faith that someone, even if they are across the room will catch her. She falls a lot. She never learns. She loves it. 
*She is talking slightly more, but mostly just jabbers all day. She says hat, eyes, nose, done, stuck, dog, car, uh-oh, gama (grandma), papa, ball, and attempts Kyler "Tywa" is how it comes out. I know there is more, just cant remember them all. She will sign please, all done, and more. 
*Loves outdoors. 
*Loves to help get eggs from the chickens
*Waves bye bye when you lay her in bed. It is awesome. 
*For prayers she always lays her head down, on the chair we say night prayers by, or on the table for food prayers. Its so cute. 
*loves to point to your eyes, nose, mouth. Watch out, she might poke your eye out!
*Loves to dance. She spins over and over in circles
*Loves to color. She finds the crayons and colors on whatever is closest....im afraid for my walls in the near future
*Cannot sit in the tub. It drives us nuts. We set her in and she immediately trys to climb out. She loves water, loves to swim, but not the tub. 
*Has the most darling cheesey smile. It makes me smile even when she does it just after doing something she knows she shouldn't.
*loves bananas, eggs, muffins, and as of the last 2 days Captain Crunch (she has always hated cereal. As an infant she would never eat cheerios and such, but I gave Ky some Captain Crunch and wow. She likes that!  *She is boycotting food. She must not be growing much cause she is just not eating much the last couple days. 
*She is in a weird moment. She is too tall for 18 month clothes, but not big enough for 24 months. Tall and skinny. Dont judge her on her rolled up pants or floody pants. There is no happy medium right now.
*She has some kind of love hate relationship with shoes. She loves to try and put them on. She will grab them and bring them to you to put them on before she goes outside...BUT once we are outside they are off her feet. When we are in the car they dont last 30 seconds. Its a pain. Most times i dont bother with them. Although story time...i ran into Family Dollar the other day and I HAD put shoes and socks on her, it was chilly and i didnt want her to have cold feet. BUT, on the way she took them off. A overly kind grandma tapped me on the shoulder and told me i need to take better care of my daughter, that she needs shoes and socks on, its cold outside. Oh come on, i do, i really do!! Blah. People these days.

This baby girl is a blast. She is so fun to have around the house. Her smile lights up the room. Her whole face  lights up when she is happy. I love her with my entire being.

This clip turned out dark...oops, but it is a good example of how much of a tiger Brookie is
