Brooklyn is 19 months!
So much has changed over the last month.
It seemed like she knows she is a year and a half old and it was time to start speaking in sentences and doing all kinds of other amazing things to shock her parents.
This little girl is an amazing talker. She has had a large vocabulary for many months now. She can pronounce tons of words spot on but there is one that just makes us laugh every time. She calls herself Norman. And it sounds exactly like that! We will even say to her, "say norman" and she says it then we will say, "say brooklyn" and she says the SAME word. Its the weirdest and funniest thing. Especially because most of the other words she says that don't sound perfect at least resemble the word.
Some little Brooklyn sayings:
All of a sudden she loves to hug Lydia. And hold her, and pick her up
I tried to put boots that were too small on her and she cried out, "too small! other boots"
I gave her an ice cube and she said "cold!"
I microwaved her dinner and she took one bite and said "too hot"
she can count… "1,3,4,7,8" {we need to work on the in between numbers}
she can retrieve anything-- my phone, diapers, certain shoes, etc (even in another room)
she lets me know if any cloths are "too tight"
she chooses her own shoes now. she prefers her crocks or boots
she has perfected every single body part. her most recent favorite is her "big toe"
she wears her hair in a pony tail!
lydia kind of slouched down from her sitting up position and brooklyn screamed " lydia fell down!"
she knows possessive things like- my nose, lydia's nose, brooklyn's nose
she copies EVERYTHING we do. two examples: after painting her nails she took the bottle and brushed it back and forth on her toes, i was biting my nails and she put her fingers in her mouth and started making a chewing motion,
when i nurse lydia she points to me says "lydia's milk"
