I must say... it was worth the wait. I am so in love with our home. I know my love is just going to grow and grow as we make it our own. I have so many plans an ideas, now we just need to find the time and help to do them! Especially help... because it is impossible to paint with Brynnie running around :) Of course my #1 goal this summer is finishing my capstone, and I am getting there! I can't wait to be done and be done with school.
I have already been enjoying my time with Brynn. It is hard not to go shoppping and spend money while being at home... and Dan I know doesn't like that :) I am trying to be good though.
Brynn has enjoyed the yard a lot. She loves swimming in her pool, running through the flowers, spalshing her hands in the bird bath (gross). We get our fence put in next week and that will be so nice, too!
On another note... I am LOVING Cottage Grove and our location. Seriously. We are within walking distance to Kingston Park, which is soccer fields and a playground. Our neighborhood just is friendly and I love walking around it. We are super close to Target :) Dan doesn't like that. LOVE our Rainbow... I am just really loving it.
Brynn is just talking so much! I will try and attempt all of what she is saying, but I am sure I will forget some. Her favorite number is nine. When she sees letters or numbers, she always points and says "Nine, Two, Nine." Love it. I always ask her if she is ready... and she responds with "Ready!" She sings 2 songs... twinkle twinkle (she only sings the "up above the" line) and a commercial song for Dreamlites... haha it is so funny. It was on Sprout a lot and she LOVES the song, so we sing it. She says "Uh Oh," "All Done" when she is done eating, "Ouch," "Please,"-- sometimes she just signs it though. She signs more and please. She says "Mai-Mai"... she sees her and says it, but now she calls Kolby Mai-Mai too :) She says "nose", "eye," "Cheese," (when she sees the camera-- I think that is thanks to Liam :) "Nigh Nigh", of course "momma and dada" She loves to say the word "exercise"... she says it every time we read The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton. She also love to say "purple" when we read one of her books of colors. It is funny what she enjoys saying. She also says "Chalk" (Which sounds like a not so appropriate word when she says it) and "walk"... she also says "Side" (for outside). She will say "Elmo" when she sees Elmo. She loves her baths, so if I ask her if she wants to take a bath... she yells "Bath!" and runs to the tub. She also says "Brush my teeth"... when I ask her if she wants to brush her teeth. She loves brushing, and I hope that continues! She also says "stuck" if she cant do something. I am sure I am missing some, but those are the ones she says most often. It is so fun how her language is just exploding!
Just this week I have been able to ask her to go get things! I will tell her to go get her juice or milk, and she will run to get her cup. She is really understanding a lot of what we are saying to her.
Tonight we are planning on heading to the Kaposia Days parade. It will be her first, and I hope she enjoys it! As far as the rest of the weekend, we have to trim our bushes for the fence installation, and some other things we need to get done around the house. As we begin to update the house, I will be posting pics. I wanted to post some of Brynn today, but I am carless because Dan is getting his fixed, and he has mine which is where my camera is:) Pics will have to wait! I will try to update sooner.
Feeling so blessed and content, and loving life right now :)
