21 Months

It is hard to believe that my first born will be TWO in just three short months! I have no idea where the time has gone. I can still remember the day she was born. It really does seem like it was yesterday. Brooklyn has grown into such a sweet young toddler. I am actually not afraid of the terrible twos because she does have such a sweet little personality. However, potty training and getting her into her big girl bed, YIKES! Don't get me wrong my child is not perfect, because she does have her moments. She is really gearing up to be a big sister. She loves to play with her dollies and give mommies belly kisses. She will only love on my bare belly. She is such a funny little girl. I know it is hard to tell from the pictures above, but she really doesn't like to have her picture taken. I really have to catch her at the right times.

Brooklyn, you are such an amazing little lady. You have blessed our lives in ways that I can't even describe. Mommy can't wait for you to be a big sister.  I am so proud of the young lady you are becoming. I am so amazed by you each and everyday. I love you so much!

Potty Training not so much!

Well I read the Three day potty training book. Had a two and a half day weekend to devote to my little girl. We woke up bright and early on Saturday at 7am and hit it hard. Then boom Brooklyn had diarrhea. Well after the first accident during the am nap time in her bed and big girl panties we went for round two then before 10am we had 4 poopy pants. So, after her pm nap time and during the early evening hours she still hadn't went in the potty. So Round Two! It started off Sunday morning we went to attempt to potty and about 30 time throughout the day. Even at Alexa's birthday party we would say peepee so we would run to the potty. After 48 hrs still no peepee in the potty. However after Brooklyn's nap this afternoon I caught her making poopy in her pull up so I rushed her over the to potty and she got a little in the potty. We celebrated! She got lots of love and hugs and high fives and a Super Duper Dora Sticker. We are going to continue to work on the potty training. Luckily my mom will be here soon to help out for a little while before #2 arrives and she will help me out. Beside trying to potty train we also need to sleep in our big girl bed.

RIB Cook Off!

We started out the month of September by going to the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook Off! Brooklyn had such a great time. She ate started out with corn on the cob, then had some ribs, a pretzel and then the nice guy at the pretzel stand gave her a FREE bag of cotton candy. She loved it. She danced with her daddy and was just a complete goof ball.
