12 Month Information

Well, first I would love to say a very big 'Thank You!' for all of your warm birthday wishes for little Brylee.

She had a fabulous day, from receiving a balloon and present on the patio from her T-Ma and B-Pa, going on her first trip to Going Bonkers, seeing her B-Pa/Ashes, to going to Sweet Tomato (and eating ice cream with her momma) and opening 2 of her many gifts this evening...








































































































And now, for the stuff you all have bee waiting for: her 12 month stats...

:o)

She STILL has no teeth...yeah. We thought she was finally teething a little over a week ago, but it turns out she had a cold. But after a day, only a runny nose told you that she was 'sick'...she has such a wonderful, happy spirit!

She is still not walking, either. We see her so close to doing this, but she seems to not be too confident in herself. But we are always keeping a close eye on her! She stands on her own really well, as well as walks around by holding onto things...so it is only a matter of time!

She loves to babble and we have heard little things here and there, like 'momma', 'ba', 'dadda', 'pa'...some a lot more than others. But she has started mimicking more. My mom has been recovering from something, and has been coughing. When she coughed, Brylee looked at her and coughed back. We got a great laugh out of it, and love to see if she does it again here and there.

We are still moving very slow when it comes to food. Probably too slow for the likes of pediatricians, but it is not fun seeing her gag and then wear it whenever it she gets choked up on the bigger pieces of food. But tonight she ate pasta noodles, cut up, but still bigger than anything she has really eaten before (besides her snacks). I hope we can make progress soon...

We are also working on her signing. She can say 'thank you' (same as throwing kisses), 'please', 'hi' 'bye', 'milk', 'more', and my favorite, 'all done!' (throwing her hands in the air excitedly). I say she can sign these, but in truth we are still telling her to do these in the fitting places. Someday she will pick up the pattern and use them, but we are very excited still to see her mimic our actions and learn!
