Brooklyn at 16 months

I meant to do a 15 month post, but I didn't have any good pictures of Brooklyn so I was going to wait until I got some. But now it's a month later and I still don't really have any good ones. Curse you i phone for being so easy to snap pictures so I never get my real camera out!

SO at her 15 mo appt. Brooklyn was 17 lbs 6oz. 28 1/4 inches tall. Still miniature and not on the charts but she is staying on her own little curve.

Brooklyn has just gotten too funny. She gets so proud of herself whenever she does something she thinks is cool. She tilts her head up with the most hilarious little grin on her face.

She isn't saying as much as Sierra was at this age. But LOVES imitating sounds.

The main words she says are momma, dada, ball, hi, and uh oh. She understands pretty much everything we tell her or ask her, but doesn't have much interest in saying anything.

She loves giving hugs and kisses, especially to my in-laws dog Apollo. She will wrap her arms around him and kiss him on the mouth over and over. It is out of control!

She has 6 teeth on top and 4 on the bottom.

She LOVES to look through books, mostly the paper (not board book) ones. Lets just say I've been doing a lot of taping of pages lately.

She's still really good about eating a lot and sleeping and taking her naps (usually 2 but can do pretty good on one when we have a busy day)

She is still such a mommy's girl. If I'm not in sight she's fine, but as soon as she sees me, it's all over.

We love our little brookalee so much. She cracks us up everyday!

she crawled up in there all by herself

proud face

she knows she's not supposed to get my decorations haha

St. Patrick's Day

7 Years

We celebrated our 7 year anniversary this weekend. We left the girls with grandma and grandpa for the weekend and took off to Virginia for some shopping, eating, hot tubbing and movie watching. It was bliss.

taking a break from shopping

A really good quality picture taken at Texas Roadhouse. hah I seriously love that place. The atmosphere, the rolls, the cinnamon butter, the salad, the steak. The only thing they're missing is a good dessert.

Frozen chocolate cream from Sheetz. SO yummy.

just a little shoe shine...

Balentine's Day

Christmas

We took the girls to see Santa and they actually did surprisingly well! I thought they'd both freak out once they got on his lap but they were fine! Sierra was too shy to tell him what she wanted. She told me she'd tell him next time. haha

We spent Christmas with my family in Canada this year.

My mom digging for more presents. haha

The cheery parents

Sisters

Christmas eve we spent at my grandma's.

Brooklyn was the entertainment for most of the night. I guess that's what happens when you're the only baby there ;)

Sierra loved playing dress up. It brings back so many memories. We used to put on fashion shows all the time with the same things when we were little. 

We went to my Aunt Diane's for boxing day. Sierra and Katrina loved playing with Vanessa's barbies.

Our visit went by way too fast, but we had a great time while we were there! 

Brooklyn as a 1 Year old...

Brooklyn at 1 yr was 16 lbs and 27 1/4 inches tall.
She loves to eat almost everything which is amazing since Sierra has always been such a mouse when it comes to eating.
She took her first steps 2 days before her birthday, just like Sierra! She's mostly walking now and only crawls when she needs to get to something really fast.
She has 4 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom. They are such chiclets and it's hilarious when she gives a big grin.
She loves to say hi into any phone. And uh oh anytime she drops something.
She LOVES Sierra. Sierra can make her laugh at anything anytime. She thinks she's hilarious.
I just totally cut her off from breastfeeding, i felt kind of bad because she loved it so much but after a year, i can't take it anymore.
She also loves to climb on everything and try to pick up large, heavy objects. it's pretty funny.
Sierra still loves to call her "Brook-a-liss" other nicknames are brookie baby, brookalee, munchkin, girly and the little pterodactyl because she screams like a pterodactyl constantly.
Here are some pictures of the little squealer since her 9 month post:

Brooklyn's 1st Birthday

My little pippy girl turned one on the 18th. I cannot believe one year has passed since I had her! This year seriously went by so much faster than Sierra's first year did.
We squeezed a little family birthday party in for her between all of the holiday madness. It was a snowflake theme for our little winter girl.
