Our little angel is so big now! She is like a little girl now, not a baby...it makes me so sad and so happy! I love being her mommy! Here are some of the things she is doing...I know I am forgetting a lot!
*She is talking A LOT! She says and does the sign language for most of these: mom, daddy, grandma, grandpa, Josh, Anna, baby, dog, puppy, horse, fish, please (only in sign language), thank you, diaper, potty, cracker, milk, water, more, eat, snuggle
*Brielle has been getting her four canine teeth for FOREVER! These teeth are REALLY hurting her! She now has her bottom 2, now she is just waiting for her top two, and they are ALMOST in! It is so sad, because now she can point to her teeth when she cries when they hurt. Breaks my heart! I don't know why these teeth are bothering her more than her molars, but they are!
*She goes and does a stinky diaper in her room, then she comes out to where I am and points to her diaper (telling me it is stinky), then we walk into her room and change her diaper. She has been doing this for a few weeks now and I LOVE IT! It is one more step closer to being potty trained! She will go sit on her potty...with her clothes on, and she is always so proud of herself for sitting there!
*She LOVES to pray! She will throw herself onto the ground to pray...and she stays there the WHOLE prayer! Yay!
*She has learned "snuggles"! She will come up to me or Arrian and will say "nuggah" and will lay her head on us and stay there for like 10 seconds! Then she gets up with a big grin and goes to "nuggah" with something else. It is ADORABLE! I remember being so sad that she wouldn't snuggle with us when she was a baby, I couldn't rock her to sleep or anything, she always had to put herself asleep...this completely makes up for it!
*She went to nursery for the first time 2 weeks ago and she did really well. We were subbing in nursery B so we took her in with us and it was good...but kind of distracting for us, so yesterday we took her to her nursery, A, and dropped her off and just checked on her while we were subbing next door. Whenever we checked on her she was carrying like 4 stuffed animals around. She didn't play with the other kids much, mainly just watched everything around her. Yay for nursery!
She loves playing with play-do, and I usually have her play with it while I am cooking dinner. She is so serious about it! BTW, all the boxes and piles in the background of these pictures are now GONE! Yay for unpacking!
Whenever I wear this hat she insists on wearing it too! Cutie!
A few weeks ago we took her to a rec center nearby to swim in the pool. It was SO fun! I didn't take any pictures unfortunately, but there was a lazy river, a toddler pool, and TONS of toys everywhere, and it was all IINDOOR! We will definitely be going again!
While we visited my family over the weekend of the 24th, Maddie came home from preschool with a fish...so when we got home we went and got Brielle 3 fish! She loved them!
Unfortunately...a week and a few days later...there is only one left alive...oh well! 29cents each!
She will occasionally go sit on the potty before her bath, but she won't go potty yet. But that is ok...we are just getting her familiar with it!
Mommy's little snuggle bug!
She loves the bean bag chair we got!
Kind of grumpy, because Daddy had to stop her dance party to go do homework!
She loves dance parties with daddy and mommy!
That is our girl at 18 months! We love her and she loves us!
