Brooklyn is 2!!

My baby is 2 today! I can't believe it. 

We started off the morning with birthday pancakes with 2 candles, which she loved.

And when you give your kids lots of sugar for breakfast, this is what happens:

New Words:
She still doesn't talk very well but we can understand her better at least. Here are some of her new words:

*"bow" bowl-she wants all of her snacks in a bowl 
*"beas" please
*"dank eww" thank you
*"moe" more
*"dawg" dog
*"Bubble"
*She nods for yes but says no about a million times a day.
*"gak gak" backpack. She loves backpacks, especially the rolling kind.

*She can finally say some of the animal sounds right. She knows cow, rooster, cat, dog, pig and duck the best.

*She also knows the signs for please, more, all done, cracker, water, milk, and boo boo.


New Things:

*Brooklyn is becoming more daring. She is still cautious compared to a lot of kids, but she is trying more things every day.


*She is still a very picky eater. Getting her to eat lunch is like pulling teeth. Most of the time she ends up skipping lunch or just eating a little bit of it. Her favorite foods are blueberries, gogurt, cheese sticks, and fruit snacks. When she really likes what she is eating then she dances while she is eating.

*Brooklyn copies EVERYTHING Laneah does. Like a little mini me.

*She likes soup and she will drink the broth right from the bowl.

*She has such a sweet tooth. 

*Brooklyn loves playing chase, peek a boo and hide a seek. She will run around the room and when she sees you she will yell "boo" and laugh.

*She has become very independent and freaks out if you try to help her unless she asks first. When I get a cheese stick out of the fridge she gets mad it I try to open it for her so she will grab it from my hands and run away with it only to come back 30 seconds later to give it to me because she can't open it. 

*Brooklyn is getting pretty good about saying her prayers. It is so cute.


*Whenever Jason gives her a thumbs up, she tries to make the sign back, but can't do it. She puts out thumb and pointer finger out.


*She shows her ornery side when I have to put her in her carseat or button her coat. Full on tantrums.


*She got a baby stroller from Christmas and she loves pushing it around all day. She will wave and then head for the door likes she is going bye bye. 

*Brooklyn likes her bath time, although she does not like getting water in her eyes.

*When she sees band aids or Laneah gets a band aid she immediately says "owie owie boo boo" even when she isn't hurt and makes us put a band aid on her "owie".


*She continues to be very musical and loves music and dancing. Any time she hears music, even if it is my cell phone ringing, she breaks out in a dance. Her newest moves include a disco roll and this breakdance move that she copied from Laneah.

*Brooklyn wants to dress up every day. Her favorite dress is her Snow White dress. She still goes crazy over accessories too and likes to put on my makeup.

*She is crazy about books and will bring me book after book to read to her. 


*Her favorite shows are Sesame Street and Dora.


I am so glad Brooklyn is part of our family. She is so sweet and loves to cuddle and give kisses. We love her so much!
