Sugar and Spice

Brooklyn is now almost 16 months old and has been long overdue for an update. So here goes...

Nicknames: Brookie, Brookie Cookie, Brooks, Brookaloo

Words we hear often: "Hi", "Hello", "Mama", "Dada", "Gacie", "Doggie", "Stinky", "Poo Poo", "Pee Pee", "More", "Ball", "Dolly", "Lionie", "Sorry", "Milk", "Nana", "Uh-oh", "Oh No!". She loves to blow kisses, gives hugs and kisses, and waves "hi" and "goodbye".

Highlights: Brooklyn loves to dance, scale the dining room table and bathroom sinks, plays tag and hide-and-go-seek with her brother, can pretend to be a bear (a favorite game with Ethan), and has been my secret potty training weapon (she LOVES to sit on the potty seat. At this rate, she'll be trained before Ethan!) Her hair is finally long enough for small pony tails and she loves to pick out her "pretties" (ie. pony tail bands, headbands, clips). She is also our little firecracker and can put herself in time outs...which occurs regularly!


Aren't girls supposed to be cleaner than boys? Right!


After a year, she'll finally keep a head band in!


Then she graduated to ponies (although her hair is so light, you have to really search for them!)


Taking a "time out"


The switch from 2 naps to 1 sometimes leads to falling asleep in her lunch


Pucker up!


Little cub


Our Brooklyn: Full of sugar and quite a bit of spice!

What a cutie! I sure wish we lived around the corner from you guys. Our kiddos would have alot of fun together. Actually, my boys would probably turn yours into hooligans, but it would still be fun!
