yep, it's been a while since last post.
what have I been doing... enjoying our 'little girl.'
no longer a baby :: now a little toddler growing into her own each day.
where are we??
a master crawler :: a master cruiser around the furniture :: not quite a master at walking independently (I won't go into this one - as I feel like a failing parent due to my 14 mo old isn't running around like all the others nor does it seem she has the confidence built up to do so just yet - so if I continue on this topic the post would probably be 5 pages - all of which would be my insecurities as a parent but.. this isn't about me :) ) :: a master at 'talking' and pointing to what she wants :: quite the attitude - wants what she wants when she wants it :: loves loves loves giving kisses and blowing them :: loves getting into any and all drawers/cabinets :: loves emptying something just to put everything back in or into another container :: very inquisitive on how things work - always turning toys over to look them over and really studies it :: has become a master at using an iphone and thanks to daddy, an ipad as well :: loves bracelets - not just 'real' bracelets but anything she can put around her wrist/arm and go about her day :: loves loves loves music and singing and dancing - she's our little dancing queen :: loves being outside :: loves brushing her own hair - still working on brushing her own teeth! :: has seem to become daddy's girl and loves waking him up in the morning :: now that she's figured out how to turn the water on in the bathtub in mommy and daddy's bathroom it's her new favorite room :: loves her walking dinosaur and will walk with it all around the house :: loves sipping through straws and if she sees a drink with one in it she demands a drink :: loves helping mommy with laundry - or should I say, loves unfolding the clothes after mommy folds them :: seems to have a fascination with the oven - she'll stand there and push every button she can - it's been a challenge to divert her away and to teach her it's not safe :: loves mickey mouse playhouse and jake and the neverland pirates... and those of you who know small potatoes (dray and I crack up watching it... in a uugghhh way... she loves it :: not a fan of bows in her hair - i think cause her hair is thin and it pulls - so i have to put a ponytail holder on top of her head and add a bow :: loves loves loves Lego's :: loves playing hide-and-seek and peek-a-boo - restaurant patrons love us... she'll take my napkin, put it over her face and waive her arms... when you say 'where's brynleigh' she'll yank it off and just start cracking up :: loves waiving hi and bye :: still loves car rides and thanks to our trip to OK we have turned her car seat around and she's one happy traveler ...
guess I could go on and on... there's just so much I'm in awe about with her. she's smart (of course I think she is :) ) you ask her where something is and she'll find it and gets so excited and starts clapping. she's just a ball of energy and happiness and stubborn and funny... all rolled into this no-longer-a-baby-miss independent-changing every day... little girl!
some pics (I know that's what you've been waiting for :)...
our first plane ride :: great trip there (take off and landing were a bit rough for her) but a huge thanks goes our to the lady at the gate for switching our seat so she could have her own!!
the return flight was a bit different :: her seat = mommy's lap!
poor guy next to us - trying to sleep and me doing everything I can to stop her from
touching him!!! thank goodness I got her to fall asleep 20 min in!!
we've starting teaching how to eat with utensils - it's a work in progress!!
our visit with Nana and Grandad - as you can see, I must do a better job at taking pictures with them actually in them :)
great time exploring with our fort Nana made, cruising around the furniture, swinging on the patio, playing with our bracelets and going to the Aquarium!
a lot of firsts over the past few months - some not so good! bumps and bruises make me cringe! i think falling out of the swing was the worst - BAM, right on her forehead. mommy and daddy were horrified - finally, after consoling her and several calls to the after hours clinic we managed to get through! lots of falls comes with trying to walk - like falling and hitting her chin on her table which caused her to bite her tongue - as daddy sees blood pouring out her mouth I just knew she lost a tooth or busted a lip - nope, she bit her tongue! poor baby! yet again, we got through it! not it's all the falls from trying to walk - stubs a toe, hits her head, smashes her fingers... guess this is all 'normal' in the scheme of 'growing up.'
random :: loves climbing on her chair and jumping off :: gotta love the messed up hair look - she's decided she likes the feel of her food in her hair!!
another pic we were able to get...
