Brooklyn- Year #2

13 mo-
After her first birthday it just seemed different. She is now not a bitty baby but a big baby. I wouldn't quite call her a toddler yet as a date doesn't automatically change her, her milestones and personality. She still has many baby characteristics left! She had her 1yr well baby check up. She is very healthy. She is 22.13lbs and 29in tall. She also got to watch and cheer her first experience of a Chicago Bears game. She has her Bears shirt she wears with her jeans, Her bears cheer-leading outfit, and a cute Bears ruffle-butt our dear friend Ann made for her. She is ready to rock these games this season! She also said "ampa" which we assume is Grandpa as we were trying to get her to say it. Her personality shines through more and more every day. Can you believe she is now 13mo old!

14 months-
Oh geez.. I swear she gets bigger and bigger every month. She is now starting to look huge to Tobe on the pics I have sent and the web cam. She talks to Daddy on it every couple of days. She growls..like the boys. She growls when I tell her to say Daddy. He thinks it is cute and funny. She rough houses with the kids. If they are on the floor playing and tickling and jumping on each other she will go over and jump on them too, then start cracking up laughing. She is included in play now sometimes. She isn't just the baby anymore, but a sibling to play with. When any music or commercial with tune comes on the wiggles her butt and moves side to side. YEP... I have a dancing queen on my hands. It is so cute! She also said "Rock On" when Anthony said it. Now she will say it if you tell her to. She also does this is a growl tone. Watch out Gene Simmons... she will rock your socks off! (and her tongue is cuter) ;) Cyndi, the dog, gets in her way and she isn't taking it anymore. She now says "No Cyni, Go Cyndi, Sto (Stop) Cyndi" We also heard her ONCE say "Ucle Day (Uncle Dave)" Speaking of Uncle Dave.. she has him wrapped around every finger and toe. Whatever she wants/needs he jumps up and bows to her and gets it for her. Poor sucker doesn't know what monster he is creating with him. HA HA My sweet little Brooklyn and her brother Anthony now have friends..of their own. We joined a group called Moms Club, Palmer Chapter which we call Mop (Moms Of Palmer). We go once or twice a week sometimes to play dates. They really seem to enjoy it and their smiles brighten my day! it has been a busy month for Miss Brooklyn and she is now 14 mo old. :)
