TWO!

Brooklyn Baby... YOU ARE TWO!
March 4, 2015
How in the world did that happen?!? Brooklyn, you are too young to know this commercial, but you remind me of the sour patch commercial. First comes sour... then comes sweet. You are truly a little spit fire. You absolutely love to pick on your big sister, tease her, sometimes hit/push her, but you are also my cuddle bug. I love Brooklyn hugs, Brooklyn kisses, and your Daddy and I fight over who gets to rock you to sleep at night (usually I win).

You and big sissy are truly the BFF's. I say your relationship is 88% love/laughter/playing and 12% fighting over toys/who gets the pink cup vs green/ or who gets to sit on Mommy's lap. I love to watch you girls interact and I know you look up to big sister so much!

It is hard to believe you were my little 8.9lb chunker at birth! Chunker no more.. you are a tiny little thing. However, unlike your sister, you LOVE to eat! You will also try different foods and you love to dip your food in sauces... ranch/ketchup/dressing/gauc/you name it!

You are a great sleeper and usually don't fight on us on going to sleep. The only habit we have yet to break is your PACIFIER! Big sis never used one past 3 months, so that was new territory for us. You are ADDICTED and will cry if you don't have it at night or throughout the day.

School is going well and you are in a class of all boys!!! 2 girls and 7 boys! (at least you will have some options for school dances). You typically cry every morning when I drop you off, but you usually are fine a few minutes after I leave. You get to play with sister around 4PM in social hall and the teachers tell me that you start screaming and run to give her hugs (it melts my heart to hear this).

You have a nice collection of words, but are quiet in nature (I think because big sister never stops talking). You are quiet, but you certainly use the word 'no' when you don't get what you want. The best phrase you say is, "I love you Mommy." Another favorite Brooklyn moment... you like to act like a cat (again, another big sister moment you picked up from her). You will crawl up to me and say "meow." I always tell you that "no kitties are allowed in the house" and you find this hilarious and will keep meowing.

Brooklyn- you are the absolute best. I love my B so much and you are a rock star. Stay my sweetie and easy going little peanut forever!

Happy Birthday Brooklyn!!!
