Brooklyn is such a doll and so much fun to have around.  Her vocabulary has really taken off this month.  She has started to pick up words left and right.  Most days she will spit out 3 or 4 new words and she will just repeat them all day long.  One of her favorites is animal, the day she learned that word she said it as she fell asleep and then was saying it when she woke up.  She is starting to connect more words together.  She will get 2 words together fairly often and 3 every once in a while. She loves her letters and can recognize every letter and can say them all except W.  She can recognize her numbers 1 through 5 but onlys says 2, probably because Craig was telling her she was going to turn 2 soon. She has learned a lot more colors as well.  We are still working on red, which you would think would be one of the easier ones, but I'm sure it will come soon.

She has shown a lot of interest in the potty recently so we picked her up a potty at Walmart and will hopefully begin potty training her when we get back from our trip to Boise.  When she has to go poop she will run up to me and say stinky and say bye and then run off to the kitchen to do her business.  If she doesn't have somewhere private to run to she will go to a corner and cover her eyes, thinking we can't see her.  She has started to do this lean thing whenever we take her picture.  She says cheese and then leans to one side, typically her left side.  She still loves to go to the gym and she will even go to nursery now without her burp clothe.  She loves to play with other kids now instead of just by herself.  She doesn't like to sit in her high chair anymore, she like to sit in her booster chair up to the table with everyone else.  I can't believe my baby is almost 2.  She cracks me up all the time and even on her "grumpy" days she is still such a sweet girl. Love her to pieces!!

We went for a walk around the neighborhood on New Year's Day and this is the outfit we came up with.  I was just happy she would wear her hat and mittens (she is anti anything warm)

Killing some time at the mall on a cold day

she loves to watch T.V. in her bee

Trying out the new potty

Fun at the Zoo with her buddy Peyton.  I love that we went to the Zoo in the middle of January

She found the diaper boxes we have been saving to pack with.
