Brooklyn Turns 2. . . .

Our sweet little Brookie turned 2 in August.  Every day Nate and I wonder what we ever did before our little "princess" came along.....  She is definitely a huge blessing to our family.


What is Brooklyn up to at 2?

• She is FINALLY starting to talk more.  She has at least 30-40 words in her vocabulary now and it is increasing daily.
• Brooklyn loves to play outside and jump on the trampoline.
• Brookie has the most infectious smile. . .it lights up the whole room.
• She loves her sleep.  Brooklyn sleeps 12 hours at night and takes a 2 1/2 to 3 hour nap in the afternoon.
• She is very independent.  We tend to hear a lot of screams when her brothers are trying to interfere in her space.
• She has discovered the T.V.  Right now she enjoys Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
• Probably because of the amount of time she spends with me, "Momma" is her favorite person.
• We can FINALLY put her hair up into one small pony-tail on top of her head.
• Eating still isn't high on Brooklyn's priority list. . . but cheese is still one of her favorite foods.
• Brooklyn loves to sit down and read books.

We celebrated Brooklyn's birthday several times during August.  We had cake, ice cream, and presents with my parents when they were out in August and then we had another birthday party for Brooklyn with Nate's family at the end of August.  She really enjoyed opening her presents, but I think her favorite part was being sung to and getting to blow out the candles on her cake.
