Happy Birthday, Brooklyn!

Hooray! She is one!

At one year old, Brooklyn likes:
- snuggles, hugs, and kisses - so affectionate!
- bath time
- food!
- two naps a day, and 12 hours of sleep at night
- taking all of the dvd's out of the cabinet
- taking laundry out of the basket
- formula and her bottles!
- her blankie, but no paci
- her sister



At one year old, Brooklyn does not like:
- therapy! she is so over being made to work.
- getting dressed
- headbands, bows, sunglasses, hats, or anything else on the head or face
- the sippy cup



She has four teeth and can eat just about anything. She doesn't say anything but da-da and uh-oh, and is on a 3 month level for speech. She is on a 6-8 month level in gross motor skills. She can pull up to stand and can crawl like a champ. She mastered waving this month, smacks her lips for "kisses", shakes her head no, and insists on coughing whenever she hears anyone cough. She is almost done with her lung injections... the last one is next week, hooray!



Flexible, and generally even-tempered, she is a joy to be around. She is sweet, laid-back, and smiley. She is a Momma's girl, but has smiles for anyone as long as Momma is close by. She does well in church nursery and with babysitters.



This first year has been very full, but has flown by. I wish we could keep her little forever! But more than anything, we are enjoying watching her grow, and are looking forward to seeing her grow into a beautiful young lady who brings God glory.

Happy 1st Birthday, Brooklyn! We love you to the moon and back.
