Baby Girl....Getting Bigger

Brynners!

You is getting bigga!!!

This summer you are going to turn THREE!

Im holding on to every single day left of your twos.

Three has always sounded so big to me.

Just look how absolutely uncontrollably ADORABLE you are!!!

I love your PIGTAILS!  You HATE them.  

I always talk you into them only with the PROMISE that you can take them out as soon as we _______ (get home from church, take pictures, get home from wherever!).

Brynnly, Mama loves you so much.

I see this sweet precious face everyday and I can not get enough of it!

In the mornings I am the first and only person you want. Sometimes you wake up happy and literally run with a smile on your face into my arms.  Other days you're still groggy and not sure you want to be up and you climb into my arms and close your eyes and make little purring noises as I cradle you and cover you with kisses and reassurance you're going to have a great day.

 You have become soooo soooo soooo IMAGINATIVE!

 You are ALWAYS being a princess!  You walk around talking to yourself in your play plastic shoes and Cinderella or Snow White dress.  Often you have a wand in your hand and accompanied by a bag, suitcase, baby, or shopping cart.  I love hearing you, I am always doing laundry or dishes or picking up, but I listen and enjoy hearing the clop clop of your shoes, your voices belting out a made up song, or you and Baylor being "mom & dad".  Just having your little selves with me makes me the most happy.

 

You are so full of LIFE!

You are always dancing and singing.

You remind me so much Lauren that way.

You love to perform, but get shy in front of other people.

You are going to get signed up for dance this fall, and it is going to be amazing!!

You got that nasty scrape on your knee (and bruise on your forehead) from falling at the park.  

Girl, you fall and get boo-boos ALL.THE.TIME!

You are fascinated by scabs.  You call them "my bleeds".

Not too long ago I came up to your room after you'd been quiet for some time and found you had picked off a big scab and were bleeding pretty bad.  You started crying when you saw me, I think you were more scared than you realized.

 You are stubborn and strong-willed.  You don't like to share or take turns.  You really really like things YOUR WAY.  Buuuuuuuut.... you do eventually bend.  I know how to persuade you to give in and make the right choice.  You are a GOOD GIRL, just two and learning. I try and be patient, especially with your PINCHING, but you sure can be mean to your brother and sisters.  I know you aren't trying to hurt them, you just have a lot of STRONG feelings and are trying to get them out.  Right now you are refusing to let Baylor help you wash your hands, "IIIIII want YOU help meeeeeee!" you're whining.  So, I must end.  I love you.

You have my hand and my heart.

I am all yours, completely devoted.

You are a miracle, I think that- I KNOW that every day.

I often think, "what if she weren't here" and my eyes can fill up with tears.

I could not live without you.  Im so thankful you came to our family- and came as soon as you could!

You are wonderful and special and positively AMAZING!

You add so much zest and joy to our family.

Three Cheers For The Red, White, and Bs!!

You Two Have Become BESTEST BEST BUDDIES!!

You LOOOOVE Brother!

You play so well together and just hang out.
You "get" each other.

You guys just looked so cute today I had to take your pictures!

 Playing with Moby.

She freaks you out a little, but you warmed up.

You have started becoming more aware of your body.  When you go potty you'll say, "pee comes out your pee-pee and poop comes out your bum!  Right mom?"  Or sometimes you say, "girls have a pee-pee and boys have a wee-wee!  Right mom?"   You crack me up!

"Oh Boy!"

You are so darling!  We walked to the grocery store today, you ran a lot of the way, I hold my breath when you run cause Im always so scared you're going to bite it.  But you did great.  You always like knowing you were "so fast!".  You got your favorite- GUM and were happy as can be to ride in the stroller on the way home.

Yo Mama

Mother's Day!

Im such a LUCKY Mom!!!

We went to dinner at Maggiano's in downtown Denver.

 

The next day you BARFED alllll over ME.

 Then you got a splinter in your foot.  I had you soak it in a pot of water while you watched PBS.  I came to check on you and you were butt naked and all in the pot!  You so crazy!!!  :)

 These reminded me of ones taken of me when I was about your age, I was camping though, NOT in the living room!

And these are some of my all time faves of you.  This is soooooo YOU right now....

Platinum blonde hair (that EVERYONE comments on), baby, and those shoes!

These shoes are your absolute favorite things right now.
You want to wear them EVERYWHERE.
I compromise and let you wear them in the car, but insist you wear real shoes at CHURCH and stores.

It always cracks me up how you handle your babies. 

This is you right out of the bath.
You like it when I slick your hair back because you think you look, "Like that  Hair-Wee Podder boy" {Draco}

HAHAHA!!! You're so funny!  And for the record I hate that you have grown up watching HP movies!  I want the books to be magical to you too!!!  I am going to have to put a stop to this!!
