17 months old


Our little girl is almost a year and a half! She looks so grown-up to me now.

Brynn has a lot of cute headbands and hairbows, but it's almost impossible these days to get her to keep them in her hair for more than 30 seconds. This week I tried pigtails for the first time to see if they would last longer - so far, she can't pull them out, and I think they look pretty adorable!

At 17 months, Brynn also:
* Loves the Little Tikes cozy coupe that we "trash picked" for her! I saw it out with our neighbors trash and made Dwayne go get it - about 20 clorox wipes later, it was as good as new other than being faded. She loves climbing in the car, shutting the door, getting back out and doing that over and over (and over) again.


* Has an ever-growing vocabulary - I've stopped keeping track of her new words because there were too many! Her favorites still include "Go away!" (learned thanks to Bailey), "Up, please" and "Ucky!"

* Tries to imitate everything we do - including blowing her nose, helping Daddy hammer, doing squats with me (I was trying to encourage the baby to come out!), and combing her hair. She also loves to pull Dwayne's toothbrush out from under the bathroom sink and "use" it. Thankfully she doesn't seem as enamored with mine!
