Look at this big girl.
She is fun.
She is funny.
And she can be quite the little mess.
Brenna Beth is now 16 months old...
She is fun.She is funny.And she can be quite the little mess.Brenna Beth is now 16 months old......and thinks she is as old as Audrey!
She loves doing big girl things like standing on the stool in the bathroom to brush her teeth, sliding down the big slide all by herself, and putting stickers on her sticker sheet. She is great at running to get her shoes to go outside, using a spoon to get every speck of applesauce, and spotting all kinds of animals. She can make noises for all of these animals: dog, cat, horse, cow, sheep, rooster, duck, lion, bird, frog, bunny (hop hop, she says), and elephant (with a trunk motion with her arm).
Look at what a difference a year makes when it comes to playing at the park...(still got the baby fat on her knees, though)
I choke up thinking about how fast she is growing. I do not look forward to using this same title someday (for 16 years instead of months!)
Can you believe she is wearing the same shirt Audrey wore on this same slide at two years old (just last year)...meaning she is wearing Audrey's hand-me-downs a year early! Alot of times she can just wear things straight out of Audrey's closet.
Here are both of my girls enjoying strawberries at age 16 months...They are both good eaters, but Brenna has gotten most kids beat by a long shot. I greatly greatly appreciate how well this girl can eat.
Here are just a few things that Brenna is saying in her own funny way:
Bac bac (Right back)
Bye Bye
Mu Me (Excuse me) after burping, of course :)
I poo (yep, that's what she is really talking about)
Pease (Please)
Da doo (Thank you) and she does this on her own most times!
Yay! (when I say it's time for a show or a snack)
Doddie, maaaa mu? (Audrey, where are you?)
I na no (I don't know)
Mon (C'mon, while wiggling fingers your way)
I ma mo (usually when she wants something again like books or songs)
Nose (while pointing to her nose or your nose or anyone's nose...she also knows most basic body parts)
And one of my favorites...she can sing "Oo-da-lally, Oo-da-lally, golly what a day" from the Disney movie "Robin Hood" by saying "Ula-Ula-Ula Day"
She may think she is getting big, but her feet still pitter-patter through our house. And she may shake her head when I ask her if she is Mama' s baby, but she will always be just that...even when she is 16 going on 17 years...

And even at 9:45 a.m., we were learning/teaching a new vocabulary word...HUMIDITY. Yes, the air was thick and hot all day, and Brenna's hair was very curly :)
It was fun to have Mimi and Pop with us. The girls loved being pushed in this double stroller by one of us four in their entourage. 
Do you see the diver waving at Brenna and Mimi? 
After 6+ years, he looks his absolute best to me with a little girl or two on his lap...
It is designed after our very first home in Fredericksburg :)
We celebrated with a tea party fit for royalty...
...leaving Little PrinSis with complete rule over the house (and the remainder of the snacks :)
