How to eat yogurt

Just tip the cup up and go to town...

Want some?

Shoe girl

The little girl who used to REFUSE to wear shoes:

• wants to wear them all the time now
• likes the loud sound they make on the kitchen floor
• thinks that having shoes on is a guaranteed way to get to play outside
• now has stinky feet every night from wearing shoes all day! haha
• says the word "Shoes"
• loves shoes (just like my Mom did!)

Popcorn bucket

I know you get a prize out of Cracker Jacks, but I didn't know you could get one out of the big popcorn buckets too!

Swimming Pool fun

Photos from August 2010:

Brynley looks upset in this next photo, but she really isn't. She was splashing the water and sticking her tongue out at the same time. Then she would crack up laughing and do it all over again.

Goodbye Summer! We sure will miss you!

A regular comedian

Trying to get outside

Holy cow...she's almost there!


Sneaking in the laundry room and putting Daddy's boxers on her head

Putting a snack container lid in her mouth....

...so it covers her face and walking over to Mommy

(This cracked me up, by the way!)

Brynley cracking herself up

Taking her diaper off

My daughter is a regular comedian!

Mmmmm....chocolate!

Holly Hobbie

These pictures remind me of my childhood Holly Hobbie dolls and bedsheets. It must be the shape of the hat!

Some Brynley vocabulary:

• Nigh-nigh - night, night
• Jooooooooce - juice
• Dess! - Bless you
• Mo - more
• Mmmmmmmm - mmmmmmmmm (yummy)
• Nana - banana
• Eggs - eggs
• Dada - thank you
• Dada - Daddy
• Mama - Mommy
• Moooow - meow
• Ewwww - moo
• Woofwoof - Woof, woof
• Row-row-row - Our Siberian Husky's row-row-row noise
• ByeBye - bye bye
• MumMum - mum mum
• Azazzazzazz - Izzie (Nana's dog)

Other Brynley-isms:

• Nana was reading her a book and when the spider in the book cried, Brynley made a wimpering, crying noise. Now she keeps turning to that page in the book and "crying" like the spider.
• She copies every noise, funny face, or motion that anyone makes.
• She cracks herself up...throwing her hand down and laughing hysterically.
• When we sing "One, two, cha-cha-cha", Brynley grins and starts dancing around the room. She also does this when any music is playing!
• She understands what we are saying now. For example, I was looking for her sippy cup the other day and said, "Brynley, where is your sippy cup?" She wandered around the living room, found it, and brought it to me. Sure, this is no miracle, but it amazes me!
• She loves to be outside.
• She can curl her tongue.
