BRYNNERS!! You're a big girl!

I LOVE YOUR SMILES!!

 Check you out!!!

POTTY TRAINING!!!

You're doing soooo GREAT! 

Especially since this is all pretty much self motivated.

You recognize the feelings and tell us then we RUN to the potty and PRESTO- you're doing it!

The only thing I really do is keep you naked or at least bottomless and ask you every once in awhile.  The best thing about you, is whether you have to go or not you always say, "YES!" and we go and you go!  You're soooo EASY!  We don't even do potty treats most of the time because you are so inherently proud f yourself!  Your smile as you go and when you're done are so BIG (bigger than even the first picture above) they take over your whole face, it almost seems like you're going to BURST with excitement and pride!!  When you're done you run and tell EVERYONE and they cheer and clap and make you feel so good.  Brynners you're the BEST!!!  

WE LOVE YOU! AND ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!  GOOD GIRL!!

Some more FUN things about YOU right now...

You always "need" a "Banaid" I don't know why Princess Band Aids are better than stickers, for both you use just as decoration to your skin, but if you so much as have an itch you tell me you "nee a ban aid"!  You also always need a sippy cup to go to bed, you like "chake a melk" (chocolate milk) in it. Mom always has to lay down with you too until you fall asleep.  Well I usually fall asleep first but I go back to my bed around 1am when I wake up.  ;)  While we're laying there we have this sweet sweet ritual where I tell you how much I love you and you're my girl and you say, "Iluvtoo" or "dank you".  You like to put your hand on my face while you sleep too, it is the most gentle precious touch I have ever felt, it is like a conductor of your love and I feel your sweet strong love flowing from your hand to my cheek, straight to my heart.  I love you Brynnly Kathleen.

We love your new Minnie Mouse shoes.  You have started trying to put your own shoes on and your own pants.  You have come up to me a few times and showed me what you did all by yourself!  You are always soooo pleased with yourself and eat up my adoration and pride!!

you are a HAPPY girl!  you LOVE your siblings and mom and dad!!  you copy EVERYTHING Baylor does, which is good and bad.  you two have earsplitting screaming matches where you scream back and forth "YEEEEEEES! and NOOOOOOOOO!"  but you also run and imagine together and it is absolutely darling.

I Love You

I love your personality, your funny half closed eyes dance moves, your super girly way of playing, you love skirts and shoes and purses, you love  having your nails painted and hair done.  

You like to be involved in everything!

You make LOTS of messes, you always wipe your dirty sticky hands on your clothes!  (drives me nuts!!), you draw frequently on yourself with markers, you love love love baths with color dotz that change the water color, you love baby dolls and stuffed animals and always seem to be carrying something around with you.  You like it when i read to you and your favorite right now is Fergus and Pinkalicious.

You and Daddy are becoming better buds.

You are famous for saying, "no! mommy do it!", but you're getting more flexible.

MOON!

You love finding the moon in the sky every night and always yell, "moooooon!" and point to it.

You are soooooo SMART!

Every single thing you say and do is precious and cute.

You are a miracle and a blessing and the love of my life!!!

I am so thankful for you, every single day I just thank God you're mine and here and we didn't miss out on having you!!

Brynnly Summer Update

You've started falling asleep ANYWHERE...

Its been especially entertaining when you do it in your seat at the table while you're eating!

You're just growing so much, it is exhausting!!  Funny girl.

 You LOVE Princesses!

Ever since Disneyland it has become an obsession.

You carry around stuffed Princess dolls constantly, and not just one at a time, all 5 at a time!

On this Friday (8/6) you got to go to a Princess Birthday Party so we dressed you up and you loved it.

You were absolutely ADORABLE!!

Look at YOU at this party!

It makes me think, "This is my first party, but not my last!"

You are sooo full of personality!

You're adorable inside and out.

You are talking a TON!

You want to be FIRST to open or knock on a door, you have a FIT if someone is in front of you when we walk up to a door.

You are getting so close to potty training- you are fascinated with poop and ask to see your poop in your diaper every time we change you, "see Binny's poop in diaper" you  say.  I have to show you or you get so mad and when I do show you, you wince and say "ewwww".  You're funny!

 We took a road trip (your FIRST) to Arizona to be with your Cousin Kayla for her Mom's funeral.

It was a sad time, but you and your siblings helped make her feel happy.

She was so glad to meet you and hang out with us all!

 You were so good in the car...mostly.

You are a demanding little thing, but as long as we had GUM and other treats we were able to appease most of your freak outs.  You loved listening to a Dora CD and playing with Dad's phone, the "thnoopy" game.

 Once we'd been at it for 6 hours (not even the half way point) we took a break at the Monticello Temple and you were less than thrilled to have to get back in the car....

 Plus you wanted to go INSIDE the temple.

It was pretty funny...but sad too.

 Being with Kayla was AWESOME!

You took right to her instantly.

 Im so thankful for family!

Kayla is a blessing in our lives.  She is an amazing little girl, full of love and kindness.  I hope we can always be close to her.  You're so lucky to have a cousin!
