Our baby girl is officially a year and a half...this is crazy!  We are having to much fun, and she is an absolute joy!  She eats almost everything that we eat, but I don't make any special meals for her.  There are some things that she tries to get me to not feed her, but eventually she'll eat what I put in front of her.  We don't give her any juice, and she has milk sometimes with breakfast and dinner, but it's mainly water all day (she drinks so much water)

She still takes three naps a day, and sleeps for 11-12 hours a night, which is definitely a blessing with me continuing to work.  This week has been very precious, she's not a cuddly baby, but she's been taking extra long afternoon naps (almost 4 hours), and then she gets in bed with me and cuddles for a half hour or an hour, giving me a little nap...it's like she knows that mama needs more sleep!

She talks all the time, with a lot of words, but mostly babble.  She says: 

Barley (our dog)

Buddy (a big bear)

Ball

Bow (girl loves bows)

night night

nose (knows where it is)

belly button ((knows where it is)

daddy

mommy

light

water (sign language as well)

cup

hot (sign language as well)

doggy

banana

Nana (my mom...just said that today)

hi

bye bye

I think that's it (I'm probably wrong).

She loves going to the childcare at the gym and playing with all the other kids...she's very popular with some of the older girls, and a 2 year old boy finds her cute.  We were with my family all last week, and she loved hanging out with her 8 cousins, but it was obvious that she just wants to be a big kid.

She's very much a girl, and will pick pink and sparkles if given the option.  She loves shoes and won't stop going in my closet and putting my heals on my feet (it would be cuter if it was her feet).  She has a little black purse that she loves to fill with toys, old cell phones, and packs of tissue and just carry it around.

She mainly wears 9-12 month clothing, but can fit in some 3-6 month and some 18 month (crazy clothing).  She wears size 4 shoes and size 3 diaper.  She loves to swim, and prefers to take showers with us.  She loves to help make smoothies, dinner, do laundry, and make the bed (she just wants to help all the time).  Her hair is down to her shoulders, and I can french braid it now.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'll update this if I remember something.  Our girl is getting so big, and I love it.  I am having so much fun watching her grow and get bigger!!  

We love you Brooklynne Julianna, you are the biggest and cutest blessing!

Here's some recent photos of the girl!
