Now that it's a month passed Brayli and Broxon's appointments, I'm finally making time to blog. They're both asleep and instead of sleeping myself, I decided to blog. Because they are 22 months apart I was able to schedule their 2 year old and 2 month old well child checks on the same day. It's a little harder getting out of the house on time with 2 kids but we're getting it figured out.

BRAYLI (2 YEARS)

Weight: 27 1/2 lbs (60%)

Height: 34 1/4 (50%)

Brayli is a such a little character. I don't even know how to describe her personality. She is silly, creative, stubborn, inquisitive and way to smart for a 2 year old! She is a great helper around the house and with Broxon. She loves to learn new things. Her imagination is amazing. She loves to bring us pretend meals from her toy kitchen. I love sitting back and just watching her play when she doesn't know I'm watching. She talks to her dolls and makes up stories and songs. She is a happy little girl most of the time and is great at entertaining herself. She will still sit and look at books forever! She has a few memorized and will read them to herself. We sure love our Brayli Girl!

What can Brayli do?

~Count to 10 in 4 languages (English, Spanish, German, and Japanese)

~Name most shapes

~Name most colors

~Recognize her name and spell it on a good day

~Recognize the names Dad, Mom, and Broxon

~Talk in sentences and carry on a conversation that makes sense

~Tell you her birthday (August 15th or 15th of August)

~Sing multiple songs. Her favorites are "I am a Child of God", "Twinkle, Twinkle", "Popcorn Popping", "Happy Birthday"

~Identify males as daddys and females as mommys

~Dress and undress herself

~Put her socks and shoes on and take them off

~State what body part is used for each sense such as, I hear with my ears, taste with my tongue and my favorite, I lift heavy toys with "my nuscles" (muscles) as she flexes.

~Take care of her babies (dolls, stuffed animals)

~Collect "tiny" rocks

~Paint her nails, ours, and her dolls with make-up brushes and do our make-up

~Brush hair and put it in a "pony hair" (pony tail)

Brayli entertains us each day and surprises us with the things she says. She amazes us with how fast she learns new things. I'm not quite sure how she does it.

Now for her pictures:

She wanted to sleep with a whole bed full of babies. Where's Brayli?
At the fair
Painting her toenails with make-up brushes
4 wheeling in Cascade
Holding her bowl of rocks that she carried around the campsite
Matthew likes to throw our fearless girl "so high"

And she loves it!
I bought Brayli new panties yesterday. I was surprised at how excited she was. She carried them around until dinner time when I MADE her put them down.

This isn't a very good clip but I can never get her to count for me when I have the video going.
