Two-year stats

Brooklyn had an excellent two-year appointment with our family doctor. We continue to be thankful for a healthy, happy, and very typical two year old. She is fond of saying, "I not," "No, no, Momma (or Dada)," and "I all done...NOW!" However, she does have manners too and very often and quite enthusiastically will say "thank you" when it's appropriate. We need to be very careful of the words we use and the actions we show...she watches and mimics everything. She reminds me of her Cousin Blake, who has never missed a beat.

Two-year stats:

• Height: 34.25"; 59%
• Weight: 29 lbs, 4 oz.; 79%
• Height-to-Weight: 21%
• Head: 19.75"; 99%

We love her enthusiasm, stubbornness, and ability to remind us of what is truly important in life.

 

[Note: I desperately wanted a photo in the rocking chair with the same bears as we did every three months for the first year but someone else didn't like that idea.]

Brooklyn's second birthday party!

We celebrated Brooklyn's birthday on Saturday, September 8, at our house. We enjoyed having family and friends come to celebrate Brooklyn turning two. She enjoyed the cake, loved all the action, but wasn't too interested in opening presents after the first couple.

She got such nice presents -- thanks again, everyone -- but especially loves her Care Bear couch (nice pick, Uncle Paul), her dolls and their accessories, and her swim lessons.

Thank you to those that were able to come and celebrate with us. Brooklyn is so special to us and we're so blessed to have so many people in her life that love and care for her.

Celebrating on her birthday, September 11...

Grandma Donna has arrived!

We were blessed to have Grandma Donna in town for a couple weeks for Brooklyn's birthday. Brooklyn and Donna picked up where they left off when we last saw her. We shared lots of love, giggles, and memories. Thanks for coming, Mom! It meant so much to us. XOXO
