PUNKIN!!

we were at a pumpkin patch in Las Vegas.

I always call you punkin,

so it was cute to get your picture with lots of pumpkins!!

YOU ARE JUST THE CUTEST!!!

You were teething (your last 12month molar! the other 3 are in.) and tired, but were such a good girl!! you love being outside.
grandma said, "you're a BOY" cause you sure don't care about being messy or dirty! you had a blast picking up these woodchips and throwing back on the ground. It was cute cause you would bring your dirty hand over to me to have me brush them off. see, you're not that dirty of a girl! :)

you really liked the petting zoo. you growled at the goats, it was hilarious!

grandma helped you pet the bunnies, you liked that.

you're just precious. your very strong willed and determined. so when you wobble when you walk and topple over a lot it is adorable. you always get back up and rarely cry. you're tough!

i love you so much sweet pea, and I love that we got to take this little girls trip together!!!

you so totally rock to like going down this BIG FAST slide!!! you're just FUN!

i love how your little hand is UP in the first picture, like you were just revving to go!

You were!! You're so cool.

Getting Bigger!

My Bs My Bs

I love my Bs

you two can be such good buddies every now and then

you copy Baylor a lot!

it is cute

when he is nice to you it is the best ever

he has shown much improvement in the being kind and gentle area.

although he does love very much slamming his bedroom door in your face.

repeatedly.

you don't seem to mind, in fact mostly you laugh and think it is a game.

you're so sweet and easy-going!

you LOVE sugar

you point at these and scream when you want one

you want one a lot

yesterday you pulled this jar down off the table, you have a bruise on your forehead now.

you so crazy Binny!

just one more...

my beautiful girls

oh how i love you

with every fiber of my being, i absolutely cherish you!

thank you for making my everyday sparkle.

how fun it is to dress you the same

to do hair and put in bows

to take pictures and get amazing smiles

to laugh

to breath

to be

all with you

some things that are making me realize you are growing up. as much as i want you to stay my baby forever, you are making strides in every area, and darn it if it isn't all the cutest! i love you so much baby girl, you're just the best!

you went to nap with a bottle! you make the sign for milk now too, which has always been for my milk, but it helped transition to the bottle too. you cried for just a second in your crib and then you must has guzzled your baba and fell asleep. you slept good too. we're just a real effort away from no more nursing. after our travels in Oct. you'll be all done.

you wanted a hair bow. you looked at them hanging on the wall, pointed, made a desperate noise, and then were tickled pink when i put one in your hair. i looooove what a girly-girl you are!

you go on the slide at the park. i hold your hand on the way down, but you can mostly go all by yourself!! you are very adventurous, it is cool (scary, but cool).

you are "talking" more now. you say "uh-oh" all the time, it is your best word.

next is "bu-buh" for bum bum which you like to touch when I change your diaper. ugh.

you said mama clear as day at my request ONCE, it counts, and Im taking what I can get.

You say "muh-muh" all the time now, but it means Elmo. go figure.

you sign a lot. you sign- more, all done, bye-bye, ni-night (my favorite cause you put your pointer finger to your lips like shhhhhh, it is darling!), milk, and no-no by shaking your finger back and forth.

You are smart and funny. You loooooove music and especially have found Baby Songs and Down Ducky to be mesmerizing. You watch them both so intensely. You like to dance and it cracks us up!!

Really you rule, in every single way.

We love you princess!!!

Sweetie Sweets

Missy! Since you have been working so hard learning to walk we painted your toes and you looked so pretty!

You were very interested in the process....

You are walking sooooo good! You walk more now than crawl. You bonk your head a lot, but are learning quick.

Today you started talking.

We were having such a wonderful lunch today, just you and I. Sisters were at school and brother was napping. You were eating up some cheesy tortillas and drinking apple juice. I was trying to get you to talk and you DID IT, i was shocked and loving it and it seemed the more I laughed the more you enjoyed entertaining me. You mostly said "uh-oh" but you also got a kick out of shaking your head and say "na-na-na-na" for no no. Oh you would laugh too and smile and lift your eyebrows, we were cracking up!!

You were not about to miss out on a fall tradition...CARMEL APPLES!

You love sweets and you also love sinking your teeth into things, so this was perfect. Plus you got nice and sticky- so much fun and goodness.

My Girl

You and me girlfriend,

there is nothing better!

I LOVE YOU!!!!

Pretty Baby

I love these jammies and you look too cute in them!!

We were going to a girls night out!

You are so much fun!!

Personal Scripture Study

You're so spiritual!

Thanks for setting the example for the rest of us!!

It's sooooo exciting!!

My Bs

Sometimes you two are so sweet together!

This was the first day of school so it was just you two, learning to play with one another. Baylor is kind of rough-mean-impatient- makes for hard times, but you are TOUGH and never hold a grudge, you're such a sweetheart.

You really love Baylor, you always want to give him hugs. He is kind of a punk about it.

i love having you two so close together, it is a whole new world of experiences. you really always want to be keeping up with him and the older you get im sure the more i will see of that. its just plain cute how close you two are, i hope your emotional bond will be that way too and he will be a protective NICE big brother to you.

Look at you!!! Standy Up Girl!!! You have started walking a bit, cute tiny brand new wobbly baby steps and it is absolutely precious!

Check You Out

this is just a glimpse into the uncontrollable fun and happiness and love you bring to my every day life! I love you Brynnly Kathleen and all of your wonderful personality!
