I haven't written much about how smart my little Monkey 1 is so I thought I'd record what I can remember about what she has been up to.
*crawling up on everything, trying to climb on everything
*ETA: loves playing with and throwing/kicking a ball, playing with her baby dolls and stuffed animals, playing with her kitchen (and likes to cook Baylen Mac 'n Cheese or potatoes), her cutting fruit, princess keyboard, and her Little People toys
*wants us to treat her like a baby: carry her like one, get in Bay's saucer or his bouncer, copies him when he babbles
*sings and dances constantly. LOVES listening to her iPod in her room and the radio in the car. Whenever we're getting ready to pull out of the driveway, she shouts, "Turn up music, mommy!" Her favorite radio songs are "So What?" by Pink...and yes, she knows some of the words AND "Disturbia" by Rhianna....whenever she hears the instrumental intro, she starts in: "Bom bom bee dum!"
--more on singing...here are the songs she enjoys singing and she does know all or most of the words to this long list. She often sings these to her baby dolls:
1. Mary Had a Little Lamb
2. London Bridge
3. Itsy Itsy Spider (her version instead of Itsy Bitsy)
4. Row, Row your Boat
5. ABC's
6. Good Morning _____, how are you? Who is sitting next to you?
7. Humpty Dumpty
8. If You're Happy and You Know it Clap your Hands
9. BINGO
10. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
11. You Are My Sunshine
12. Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
13. Happy Birthday
ETA:14. Old McDonald had a Farm
15. Farmer in the Dell
16. Where is Thumbkin?
17.
There's more but that's all I can think of right now.
*We don't have a lot of time to watch TV but whens she does, she loves watching: Barney & Friends, Sesame Street, Play with me Sesame, Calliou, Mother Goose Treasury and has watched a little bit of Lion King and Toy Story
*Loves reading books. Her current favs are: It's Sharing Day (a Dora book), Little Pea, Pacifiers are not forever, Teeth are not for Biting, and Snuggle Puppy
*still has a paci--we're working on this...she's down to just when sleeping, and it's hard when little bro has one. We keep saying together: "put the paci in the trashy!" But when we ask her if she wants to put the "paci in the trashy," she does not want to do that.
*talks NON-STOP...constantly asking: "What's this, Mommy?" or "What color's this?" and talking about everything and anything. It's amazing what comes out of her mouth on a daily basis!
*has a great memory and is really good with names. She has known all of the kids's names in her class for several months now, and knows many of the other kids's names in daycare as well.
*Hilarious!! Today she walked in the kitchen with a pair of brown tights pulled up over both feet and they were pulled up about halfway up her legs. She said, "help mommy, want tights on now!" or she was sitting on the potty a couple nights ago and she told me, "Go away, mommy!" she wanted privacy!! This morning, I told her that she could crawl down to the foot of our bed and pet the cat. She asked if Baylen could pet Cammy and I said, no, he's too little. Just you. So Baylen tried to crawl towards the cat and she said, "No not YOU! Just Brynna!" Her facial expression was soooo funny!
*Miss Personality...has been in trouble at daycare several times this past month for: biting, hitting, pushing, and pinching. Let's hope this is just a phase and she'll grow out of this. yuck!
*Loves her brother. Even though they fight and she gets mad at him sometimes, she loves on him and they can just giggle and giggle with one another about who knows what...this morning she was dancing and singing for him and Bay was just eating it up!
*Wears size 18, 24 months and 2T. Still a peanut for her age. Weighs maybe 24 pounds; size 5 1/2 and 6 shoe depending on the brand
*loves wearing slippers and can put on her own shoes.
*Still working on potty training. She goes potty at daycare once about every other day. She loves the idea of wearing big-girl underwear, but when we've tried it, she wets right through and b/c she enjoys sitting on the couch and floor, I am just not up for cleaning urine off of everything just yet. Is that lazy of me?
*ETA: also knows and can recognize these colors: green, orange and sometimes yellow!
P.S. Megs: check out her dress! :)

She's so cute.
Logan loves "Disturbia" too. He sings it all around the house every day. Though it's starting to drive me a little nutty with all the "Bum, Bum, Be Dum..."
Have you tried telling Brynna about the Pacifier Fairy? Tell her that there's a Pacifier Fairy who comes to take the pacis to new babies who need them and if she leaves it on her windowsill the Pacifier Fairy will take it and leave a new toy in it's place. That worked for alot of my friends here. The boys were about 6 months old when they gave theirs up so I have never tried it myself.
The dress is so cute! Love it! She is such a cutie and totally little miss personality! I hope that we get to see her over the holidays!!!
Now that I know Brynna listens to an iPod, I might have to make her a mix CD so she can listen to some decent music! I know you guys have better music in Seattle than Rhianna! Where is DJ's musical influence??
Hey in my car we don't listen to that "stuff" Sarah needs to also say that Brynna is a big fan of Rock as well like, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Alkaline Trio, Paramore just to name a few. She pretty much likes any music as far as I can tell.
