Brynley, at 2 years old you are:
25 lbs 7 oz.
•
3 feet tall {90th percentile}
•
You wear size 7-8 shoe
•
You wear 18 mo-2T clothes
•
You have all your teeth now. Your last two top incisors came in last month so now we are waiting on your two year molars
•
All your molars came in at once and you were such a trooper, no fussiness at all! Your i-teeth were a little more cumbersome. You got the bottom two first and then the top two.
•
You are still rear facing in the car, much to daddy's dislike, and don't mind it at all
•
You talk so well that you surprise most people.
You still love your fruits and veggies
•
You now ask for "frozen peas", broccoli, fruit snacks, juice, tomatoes, b-nanas, cucumber, strawberries, oranges, "ganic milk", grapes, kiwi, popsicles, chicken, smoothies, and cheese
•
You still drink lots and lots of water, yay!
•
Since we introduced peanut butter, you are more open to eating a sandwich once in a while, but lunch still isn't easy. Usually veggies, fruit and cheese most days
•
We eat oatmeal or malt o meal most mornings and you have to help mommy scoop it into the bowl.
•
Your most common saying: "Brynley do it!"
•
Fresh beat band has moved down to make room for your new favorite shows: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Doc McStuffins {which you call check-up}
•
You still love to dance and sing, you ask for your microphone
•
We sing all the time. Your favorites are Rock-a-by baby, itsy bitsy spider, twinkle twinkle little star, Jesus loves me, Jesus loves the little children, This little light of mine, Wheels on the bus, Row row row your boat
•
Winding down for bed now means {within the last month} asking to cuddle on the couch with daddy and watch football or basketball
•
We have a very specific bedtime routine: Sit on the potty and read LOTS of books, wash our hands, brush our teeth, say night night to daddy {hugs and kisses}, lay in bed with lights out, sing LOTS of songs over and over, say our bedtime prayer, beg to give daddy more hugs, tell mommy to "cover you" {me} several times, then finally door closes and you talk yourself to sleep.
•
You say your own prayers
•
Meal time prayer: "Jesus, thank you a food, amen!" {we all have to hold hands}
Bedtime prayer:"Jesus, amen. Thank you a mommy, thank you a daddy, thank you a Brynley, thank you a bed, thank you a toys, thank you a mickey mouse, I love you, Amen."
•
You sit at the kitchen table without a booster chair
•
You love playing with your kitchen and making food, especially coffee and tea, for hours
•
You convince people to come to your room and play by grabbing their hand and saying "Come on, I show you" and you pull their hands down towards the ground forcing them to sit
•
Everybody comments on your hair
•
You are a girly girl
•
You LOVE makeup and lipstick
•
You always have a bracelet on
•
You just learned to ride your tricycle, circles and circles around the back patio. I have tried to convince you to ride it in the front yard but you refuse. You ride off the porch into the grass with your legs up in the air and turn around and tell mommy "I need help please"
•
You love church
•
You ask to play with the babies
•
You love candy and popcorn, thanks to daddy ;)
•
You know everyone's names now
•
You are still shy in big crowds, nobody at church thinks/knows you can talk
•
You ask to talk to Nana, Papa, and auntie Mandy on the computer often
•
We started to work on potty training, but you weren't ready so we just let you sit on it when you want
•
You love brushing your teeth with your electric Dora toothbrush
•
You love reading

You love stickers
•
You are a rockstar at puzzles
•
You play games on mommy's phone, your fave right now are the puzzles and a matching game
•
You know your entire alphabet and can recognize almost all the letters
•
You can count to ten and recognize them all
•
You know all your shapes, even an octagon
•
You are still learning your colors
•
You like to draw and have been drawing circles for several months now. You frequently ask mommy to draw happy faces and robots {daddy, mommy, and baby}. I also trace your hands and feet a lot
•
You try and say "because" and "probably" all the time. You must like how they sound
•
You squeal when daddy comes home from work
•
You love all your disney princesses
•
You still love Shrek, but your new faves are Tangled, Beauty and the Beast and Princess and the Frog

When you are asked to smile you scrunch your nose, squint your eyes and give an underbite grin.

Your funny sayings:
When grandmommy went into the restroom Brynley looked at me with wide eyes and said:
"Grandmommy potty trained!"
She asked to have some popcorn at Target. When I went to get some the machine was broken so there was none. When I told her we couldn't get any she looked at me very confused and said:
"You have to buy it, mommy"
She was thirsty before bed and drank all her water, she handed me her sippy cup and said:
"I probably need more"
At her two month appointment at the doctors she had to get two shots, but I told her she could have some stickers afterwards. {I should add that she did so well} A few days later I asked her if she wanted to get some stickers, she looked at me, frowned, and said:
"I have to get a shot?"
She frequently says:
"I a good girl at the doctors! No more owies"
What a fantastic way to keep track of Bryn's milestones and memories!!
