Post Nap Time

Brooklyn: Mommy! Mommy!
Me: Good Afternoon Boky, how was your nap?
Brooklyn: (silence)
Me: What would you like to eat for lunch today?
Brooklyn: Chocolate

Brooklyn is 15 months old now and here are a few things she has been doing lately...

1- She finally got one of her top front teeth. It's the one on the right and she has been so drooley and so miserable trying to get the other one in. I think that it's starting affect her appetite. She hasn't been eating much, but she is downing the fluids.

2- She has figured out how to run away from us after tub time so she can stay naked, and I don't mind. I love seeing her little butt running down the hall. Today (picture to the left) I was getting ready to put her diaper on and she ran away and came back with her purse and her bracelets. She loves being in the nude!

3- She had a routine check up and we found that she has an ear infection in her right ear. So now we get to start another round of antibiotics. I hate it. She is very good at taking medicine but I hate remembering it 3 times a day for 10 days. Poor kid!!

4- She graduated to a big car seat. After her appointment today I feel a lot better about it because she really does weigh over 20 pounds (20.34). She is 31 inches tall and her head (I think) was about 42 centimeters around. She's getting big!!

5- She has been jumping out of her crib!! She has only done it like 2 or 3 times but it's a heart stopper. The first time she did it we had laid her down for bed after she was so tired she would scream about everything and we heard a bug thump... I credited it to our new noisy neighbors but decided that I should check on her because it had been 15 minutes of crying. I walked in and there she sat on her bedroom floor just staring at me! I picked her up and almost started to cry, knowing that the crib will be going away soon.

6- Her hair has grown long enough to pull it all up into two piggy tails. A few strands fall out, but it looks very cute, and very grown up on her.

Apple Juice...

Thanksgiving was different this year (not only because I was away from home) because it was Brooklyn's first time eating real food at Thanksgiving! It was funny to watch her try and eat mashed potatoes by herself with her own spoon, try to hold on to an egg, and most of all 'bath' in her juice!











We put her down for a nap before Thanksgiving dinner started so that she would be a happy baby and when she woke up this is what she looked like... wet hair, grouchy, sticky, and sweet smelling. She had somehow gotten her apple juice in bed with her and it had leaked all over the place. She had already had her bath earlier in the day and was not happy that she had to have her hair washed twice because of the faulty sippy cup. It was funny though at first we all thought she just drooled a lot but it was obvious once we smelled her and saw the full extent of the wet hair it was APPLE JUICE!
