Brynn turned 3

I have been trying to post this for the past month, and for whatever reason I was able to make it work today.

Brynn turned 3 last month. Her actual birthday is February 29th, Leap day, but we celebrate on March 1st. We had a very impromptu birthday party for her. She kept saying she didn't want a friend party, then 2 days before the day she decided otherwise. So, we had a princess tea party with 2 of her 4 friends. She wanted chocolate donuts instead of cake, but my parents surprised her and brought cake, so she had both. Lucky kid. They also bought her a pillow pet, and she was ecstatic about that! They ate yummy food, had donuts and cake, opened some presents, and played on the trampoline. It was the easier birthday party that I've ever done.

Things about Brynn

~Right now she gets out of bed every night after we put her to bed. So it takes anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour for her to fall asleep.

~ She is very articulate. She has been since she was very little, and she will surprise people sometimes when she talks to them because she speaks so well.

~ She's loves her penguin pillow pet, and her heart blankie with all of her heart.

~She is usually classified as "sassy" or as having a lot of "spunk". It's true though. She is very animated when she talks, and will even wag her head a little and put her hands on her hips when she's saying things like "nu uh", or "no I didn't".

~She is the master misinterpreter. I know I've mentioned it before, but I so miss this when kids grow out of it. She calls hiccups "hip ups", and light bulbs "eye balls". And this isn't a misinterpretation, but I love it. She says" That's Amazing" all the time. And when she says it she raises her eye brows, and nods her head, and smiles this cute smile.

~She loves milk more than any other drink.

~She tries to do everything that Abbi and Reese do, and they are pretty good about letting her tag along.

~And finally she LOVES shoes, and purses. From the moment she wakes up until the time she goes to sleep she is wearing someone's shoes. Then, we have probably 30 purses for the girls to play with and she will fill them full of toy cars and lipsticks and other toys and carry them around.

7 months old

This little love is so fun to have in our house. She's 7 months now, and getting so big. I love that adorable round face, and her pretty eyes. She's my only girl to get some brown flecks in her eyes.

So we bought this jumper for her the other day, and I just had to post a picture of her in it. She loves it, and I love watching her play in it. The picture is blurry, but she is so happy when she's jumping her guts out.

Reagan rolls everywhere, and is trying to get up on her knees in the past week. Not that she needs to crawl; she seriously can get to the craziest places just by rolling. She likes to babble to herself and others, and will blow bubbles and make excited screeches when you talk to her. Ooh, she is also learning to wave, and sits up on her own.

She does not fall asleep for us while being held. She will squirm and do a cry, but not a real cry if she's really tired until she's put in her crib. Then will press her face into the corner of her crib and falls right to sleep. I will never complain about that. She sleeps really well in her car seat too, so that's a plus.

We have really lucked out with her as number 4. 4 girls can get loud, and there are a lot of emotions rolling through this house, but Reag stays pretty calm through it all. She doesn't start crying when Brynn scares her 5 times a day (we sometimes get a lip quiver, but rarely tears), and she doesn't join in the crying when it's ALL around her. She gets laid on, pulled by her legs, tickled, kissed endlessly, hugged for LONG periods of time, and many other things, but she loves most of it and endures the other stuff quite well. What a good baby!!
