Brylee 18 months

Brylee is 18 months old! (A week ago).

Favorite Toys: Doll stroller,  markers, Baby Doll, mixing spoon and bowl, lamb

Sometimes she thinks the stroller is for her instead of her doll!

Favorite Activities: Playing at the park, coloring, dancing, blowing bubbles, singing songs with actions, playing ring around the roses, drawing with chalk, going down slides, reading books.

Scared of: Bubble baths (We thought it would be fun to give her a bubble bath...we were WRONG.    She scream bloody murder, and has never clung more tightly to us.  She was weary of the bath for a few days afterwards.) She is also scared of walking on sand barefoot. It just makes me laugh because she is so fearless with most things.  If you take her to a playground there isn't anything she won't attempt.  She'll go down big slide climb the rock walls but she won't take a bubble bath!

Best Friend: Owen Clune, she adores him.  All day long she talks about Owen, and if I tell her we can't see him she will start crying.  Owen was also her first kiss. (And hopefully last kiss until she's 25)!

Personality: Wow this is something this girl is not lacking.  She is extremely outgoing and loves people.  I'm pretty sure she would go home with a complete stranger.  She is a favorite with the 
4-8 year olds at our church.  She loves playing with them.  One 8 year old, Erica, just loves Brylee.  If I ever can't find Brylee I just look for Erica.  In fact the other day we went to pick Brylee up from nursery, only to find out Erica had already picked her up :).

Attitude: Even while I was pregnant with Brylee I knew she was going to have a lot of attitude.  She is little Miss Independent, I mean even more independent then your average toddler.  She is adamant that I let her do things herself.  Brylee is the youngest in nursery, but don't let that fool you she can definitely hold her own.  If any kid dares to take a toy away from her she will get it back.

Language:  She now has a very large vocabulary, and is learning new words like crazy.  At this point I can't really keep track of all the words she is learning. She loves singing "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes" and can say all the body parts.  We're working on manners she knows please and thank you.

Favorite Foods: "Nanas" as she likes to call them or bananas.  She loves fruit, will at least try all veggies.  She loves beans and applesauce, mixed together.  Yogurt is another favorite and is frequently mixed in with her other foods like noodles.

Helpfulness: Brylee is VERY helpful, she loves to help me clean. She is also the designated pacifier putter inner in our ward.  She loves to give babies their pacifiers.  The other day we were at a picnic and a couple of the toddlers were all sitting at a table eating.  One little girl kept taking out her binky so she could eat.  Brylee would run over grab the pacifier and put it back in her mouth.  I think she would have done this all night if we would have let her.

Oh my goodness Brylee sure is fun!  She is a busy little bee and keeps us on our toes! We stay busy during the day doing lots of playing.  We are so lucky to have a park right across the street from us, and we are there everyday.  I am so lucky  I get to stay home with this little sweetheart, we sure do have fun together.  I love watching her grow and learn, what an amazing process.  I love watching all the new things she is learning, but I can't believe how fast time is going.  I can't believe my baby is already a year and a half! We love you Brylee Skeie!
