December To Remember

Hey Brynners!

Im playing catch up a little bit- December was BUSY and FUN and YOU contributed MUCH to those things.  You are the baby of our family- we ALL dote on you and ADORE you, especially these girls...

You always have so much fun with your sisters, it is just the coolest thing to watch.  You LOVE them and love their attention and try so much to emulate them.  They teach you a lot and you soak it up.

We went ICE SKATING!  YOU LOVED IT!  Too bad it is HARD to skate with a baby in your arms, it totally throws our balance off so THANK you Dad, cause I held you for about 30 second, wobbled about 2 inches from the side and freaked out and handed you back, MUCH to your displeasure!!   
You're such an adventurous girl, I think next year you will have a lot more fun.  At least you won't have to be stuck walking around with this kid nipping at your heals... you two are so funny!!!  Really it is VERY neat to have you Bs so close in age, you can almost do the same things and be best buddies- if you WANTED to!!!

You didn't register "Christmas" too much this year, you just went along with the flow.  You are ALWAYS someone to hang out with and we all just love having you around.  You are happy and full of excitement and just dripping with cuteness!!!  When you are near there are guaranteed smiles!  You melt my heart with your sweetness.

You have GROWN up A LOT in the last month.
Yous can be so naughty!!!
 I LOVE this picture!

I saw you doing this and just let you do it (Im such a good mom like that- totally up for free expression!).  You get into the junk drawer ALL. THE. TIME!  You can't see into it, you just reach up and pull out what ever your grabby little fingers and grasp- it is actually very funny and clever, but also annoying because you end up doing stuff like this....

but look how PROUD you are of your work!  It is infectious the way you love the little things in life and just make everything FUN.  Life would be so boring and plain without YOU!

Grandma came for a visit and man o man have you become a "Grandma-Girl"!  You LOVE Grandma, it is pretty special.  She has just fallen in love with you too!!!

Not that any kids needs a reason to get presents, and you certainly weren't aware why we were opening gifts, but you sure understood one thing- this is awesome!  You were sooooo into it!  :)

YOU LOVE CLOTHES!!! This is one of the funniest things about you, you are sooooo little to be into clothes, but it just goes to show what a FABULOUS little girl you are!  You are truly one in a million and I am sooooo thankful you are OURS!  You want your new clothes put on right away and you go right up to people and pose like, "look at me".  You also LOVE being fancy!!  I LOVE IT!

SISTERS!!!  Lauren got her ears pierced and you three were all in girl heaven looking at earrings- too precious!!!

Christmas Eve- The highlight of our Christmas celebrating was doing a Nativity and you got to be a sheep...

It may look like an Easter Bunny costume, but trust me, you were a sheep.  TOO FUNNY!  You are just adorable.

You are a climber- nothing crazy, just if there is a bench to climb up and be bigger you are ALL OVER it!  You often walk around the house carrying a Princess stool, its crazy funny.  You like being part of the action for sure!  You climb up on the kitchen chairs, onto the table and have even figured out, out of sheer determination, how to grab hold and hoist yourself onto the couch.  YOU'RE AMAZING!  You face here is what I get when I tell you to smile while I am taking a picture- silly girl!!!

Christmas morning you were the first one up!  We hung out until the big kids woke up.  LOVE your crazy hair!!!  Won't be long and we'll be curling it!!  You'll love that!

OH MY GOSH!  COULD YOU BE ANY MORE AWESOME!?!?!

This by far the most hilarious moment Christmas morning!!  I KNEW you'd rock this Princess Purse Set.  You crack me up!

MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING GIRL!  I LOVE YOU OH SO VERY VERY MUCH!  MY HEART COULD BURST WITH THE JOY AND LOVE YOU GIVE ME!!!! XOXOXOXO

You are talking!

You say "EH-MO!" constantly.

You say "Eh-mo" for Elmo, and just about anything Sesame Street.

When we get into our neighborhood and head home you start desperately saying "eh-mo, eh-mo!" as if you want to get in the door and immediately watch that little red guy. It is pretty funny.

I have taught you to say "Ernie" (ehn-nee) and Julia taught you "Oscar" (you growl real deep and go os-ka), but you mostly still just say, "Eh-mo" when looking at a Sesame book or see a dvd cover.

You are SMART! Holy mackerel! You point to all the right things in a book. You want to know words for everything, you point and kind of make a sound that resembles the words, "what dat". You sign a lot of things and communicate really well.

Tonight I heard you say, "heddo booboo", when we were about to nurse.

uh-oh!

I scream, YOU scream.....

THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! I knew to take your shirt off when I gave you your first ice cream cone, and boy was that a good call!check out your baby fuzz head! your new hair that is slowly growing in is the best! you are so cute when you wake up and it is all sticking up or after a bath. you're precious!

You love love love sweets, and ice cream is quickly becoming a TOP FAVORITE!

This next series of shots are my favorites of you. Look how you tried to start licking the ice cream off your chest!! You are soooooo FUNNY! We love you, you make us laugh. And you are just so CUTE!

BABY MAMA

You're pretty much the cutest lil girl in the whole world!

You are starting to like to play with babies.

You are such a girly-girl and it is AWESOME.

You are so fun to watch. Every day I just look at you and take you in and am soooooo soooooo tahnkful you are here! You are a miracle and you are unique and you are YOU! I just LOVE YOU! I love everything about you, and some times some days your sweet uniqueness, your little personality is shining through, and you are INCREDIBLE. ADORABLE. WONDERFUL.

This cracked me up, you carrying this baby upside down. This baby wrapped up in your big blankie was a little too big for you. HA!

Your first REAL Halloween!!

YOU HAD A BLAST!!

Before trick-or-treating we had our traditional spooky dinner. I love how you smile so much when you see the camera! You're so cool!

When we got going you tried to keep up with the big kids and were just pleased as punch when you made it to a door and got a candy. It was like second nature to you to put your hand out for candy.

Your first recieved candy was a little bag of candy corns (your fave) and you held onto that bag THE WHOLE NIGHT!

You were a ball of adorable cuteness and Dad and I just had the greatest time watching you, helping you, carrying you, and listening to everyone oooo and ahhhhh over you!!!

Well Done my littlest trick-or-treater!!

The pay off was more than you could have ever imagined! ;) Love the sucker in your mouth while you search the rest of the goods....
