Eighteen Months

Brynlee has officially turned 18 months old. She weighs 23.8 pounds and is 32.5 in. long. She is constantly surprising me with the things she can say and with what she can do. She can say several phrases and she can repeat almost anything I say. I can's always understand her but she talks a lot. She really is an independent little toddler. Lately she wants to do more and more things all by herself. Here is just a quick update of some things about Brynlee.

Brynlee loves to sing songs, play with her dolls, and she thinks it is fun to sit on the potty chair. She has actually used the potty a few times so that she can get candy and she likes to put each of her dolls and stuffed animals on the potty so she can clap for them.

Brynlee also loves to help me and we spend a lot of time cooking and cleaning together. Brynlee thinks it is lots of fun. She is good at putting the clothes in the dryer, taking the silverware out of the dishwasher, and her favorite thing is to use the dust pan when I sweep. When we cook she likes to mix things and dish stuff into separate bowls. Everything takes a lot longer with her help and she makes a mess when she helps to cook but I love that she wants to help and I don't mind letting her.

I love that she put almost all of the macaroni in her bowl. 

In other news, Brynlee finally has some more teeth. She has four teeth on the bottom and a few weeks ago she got one on the top (her right front middle). The next day she got another tooth on the top but she is still missing her top left middle tooth.

She wouldn't let me get a good picture of her mouth but you can see her top teeth. 

Brynlee is so fun and I love her a lot. She has made moving a lot harder these past few weeks. She loves to play with ribbons, string, or tape measures and she has found a lot of them to play with. She loves to fill up the boxes and push them around the house but she freaks out if the boxes get stuck and she can't move them. Every room I go into Brynlee will follow me and make a pile of all of her toys. She loves to build with her legos and play with dad's boots. Lately she has been really into blankets. She loves it when dad wraps her up and carries her to church and she cries when he takes the blanket off. I love this girls so much.

She found a cassette tape and discovered that they have ribbon in them.
