13 months old...well like 3 weeks ago.

We got her this new toy, it is a magnet toy that makes animal sounds and calls out what the animal is. She played with it at my friend Kassandra's house and she said it was really effective so I thought I'd better get Brookie her own and she loves it.

Brooklyn is now 13 months old. She is learning so much we are just amazed at how smart she really is. She is picking up on so much.
Here are a few things she has been up to.

~she says binki
~says blankey
~says tanks (thanks)
~says ese (please)
~says hi and hey
~says ugh oh
~says arff arff (ruff) when you ask what a puppy/dog says, and every time she sees a puppy/dog. so cute
~still calls me dadda or nanna
~eats whole fruit snacks...i know right "whole" well I have been super nervous for a long time to give her these and Clarke just gave her a whole one once and she didn't choke on it, thankfully. Like I have said before she is such a good little eater and has only choked a couple of times...which i am super grateful for.
~blabs on about who knows what and waits for a response also so super cute...
~totally done with bottles and warm milk. She drinks from sippy cups now and through straws.
~LOVES to read
and the best one of all is she has finally learned to walk.. yes walk. It is so fun to watch her take off and get around knowing I don't have to haul her everywhere we go.
~she has started her awesome tantrums. Mostly it's just because she wants to get down and walk when we are in a store or somewhere where she just gets into everything, and there is no talking it through...she is only 13 months what should I expect, really. Good luck to us on the drama.
~she really is a very good little girl for the most part. We can't get enough of her and are so amazed at all the things she does each day. I am really starting to get a lot more sad when I go to work because that means leaving her with the babysitter, whom we all love so much, it's just I would rather spend my day playing and reading stories to my sweet little girl. The sad thing is is that on my days off I have to do homework so I feel even worse for neglecting her...I try to do my homework while she is taking her naps but it's just not enough time most of the time. Oh well we get through it and we all survive. Here are some fun pictures over the last couple of months.
~so for your info the reason she has no really cute bows on her cute head is because the little kid wont keep them on. She pulls them off first thing. It's so annoying because they are so cute on her. any suggestions on how to keep them on?


Brooklyn LOVES her new car seat and facing forward in the car. She was screaming and laughing in the back seat the whole trip around town for her first ride.
p.s. when we took her out of the seat here she started to cry she wanted to get back up in it..it was just awesome.. cute little bug

First time eating spaghetti by herself
mom I'm eating, really do you have to take a picture of my nasty face..

drinking chocolate milk and loving it

every chance she gets she will play with the computer. She loves to play with this thing and pick at all the buttons. she is a picker, (we always find her picking off the white balls on the couch) Hilarious.
