My girl

I figured since I'm so far behing on blogging, there will have to be a few "catch-all" posts and this is one of them.




















Brynley:

• is now 2 years and 4 months old.
  


• recently became a big sister. She did great for 10 days. Then she was sick for a few days with a sore throat. That kicked off a week of issues with Roman. She still loved him, she just didn't want me to pay any attention to him. Now she is back to being a fantastic big sister!
  


• looks for Roman first thing in the morning...and pronounces him name "Romaaaaa" until today when she finally started saying "Roman"
  


• goes to bed at 8:30 and wakes up around 7am. She calls "Mama, mama" and when I open her door she says, "Mama, I sleep" or "I sleep too!" Her first words used to be "Nana's house" when she woke up!
  


• pronounces hiccups..."cuppa"
  


• naps from 2pm-4pm, although lately she is waking up earlier than 4pm!
  


• loves the outdoors still...loves the playground, swimming pool, and walking to the mailbox and requests these things often
  


• watermelon = "melon water"
  


• ice cream (of any kind) = "ice keem cone"
  


• loves to play games on the computer on pbskids.org.
  


• favorite TV shows: Sesame Street, Word World, Martha Speaks
  


• calls "nana" on the phone every day. I know she misses seeing her while I'm on maternity leave
  


• lately she has been into playing her drum and "piano" which is actually a xylophone
  


• likes to wear hats, but will still not keep a bow in her hair
  


• diaper = "biper"
  


• puts boo-boo medicine on her boo-boos. She is recovering from a bad one right now with a black eye (future blog post...)
  


• loves baths especially with bubbles
  


• peanut butter crackers = "bunny crackers"
  


• whenever we leave our house in the car, Brynley says "horsey-cows?" and we have to look out the window for horses or cows
  


• yogurt = "ogert"
  


• she sleeps well in her big girl bed and has been since March or April. One time when I was working, Rob put her down for her nap in her big girl bed. When he checked the monitor later, he heard music playing. Since Daddy had forgotten to turn on her music, Brynley got out of bed and did it herself...then drifted off to sleep!
  


• loves dancing! Music is pronounced "Sic!"
  


• recognizes all the letters of the alphabet and most colors and shapes
  


• just yesterday, Brynley started "singing" songs along with me...mostly her ABCs and The Wheels on the Bus. Although most of the words are incoherent, it is adorable and I am going to try to videotape it (she is still interested in grabbing the camera when she sees it)
