20 Months

Brooklyn turned 20 months old yesterday and we couldn't be having more fun with her! Here are a few fun facts about her at 20 months:

• She loves to wave to people. It doesn't matter if we're walking down the street, sitting in sacrament, or walking through the grocery store she's always waving to someone and if they don't wave back then she'll say "Hi" and wave so that they hear here and wave back. In the words of my aunt..she's very personable.
• She loves to help me with whatever I'm doing. She always wants me to hold her while I'm cooking so that she can see whats going on, she loves to help me vacuum and dust, & she loves to dig in the dirt when I'm doing yard work. When she's at Grandpa Millers she likes to help him pick raspberries in their garden.
• She is always getting into something, whether it's the spice drawer, the tupperware drawer, or getting the mixing spoons and bowls out to pretend like she is stirring. She's always getting her books off the shelf to look at them, and she loves taking the cookbooks of the shelf. Lately she's been into wearing my high heals around the house and putting on what we call lippy (lip gloss). Sometimes I'll catch her combing her hair and pretending like she is spraying hair spray. I love that she is all girl!!
• She says a lot of words and will repeat almost anything she hears. Some of her more recent ones are: bucket, diaper, glasses, & hippo. Some of my faverites are "um" which means she wants some, and when we walk into a dark room I would always say "ooeeoo" so now when its dark she'll say "weeooweeoo" and when she hear the ice machine one the fridge she'll say "ice".
• She's starting to be able to climb up on furnature.
• She loves going boating, swimming, and playing with the hose or her bucket full of water.
• She still LOVES rocks and always has to pick them up whenever she walks by some.

She gets more fun everyday and for the most part is such a good girl. We love this little lady and feel that it is bitter sweet that she is growing so fast.
