October

Brynn is talking up a storm. Anything I tell her to say, she repeats. She is asking "what's that?" To anything she doesn't know. Just today she pointed to my eye brow and asked me what it was. When I told her, she repeated it. She is so inquisitive and I know I'm biased, but she is so smart. She is great at her puzzles... And does them by herself, and also loves her shape sort things... Where you have to fit the heart through the heart hole... Circle in circle. There is an app on the iPad where she can do that, and she loves it.

Still... My favorite things she says are : lovey, ready, thank you, coloring ( it sounds like coloringing). She is super easy to communicate with now, too since she is so verbal. I almost always know what she wants/ needs. She is a bit of a drama queen :). But usually is pretty good when I tell her No. I feel like I've had to do less timeouts.

Lets see... She is really loving her baby lately. Bringing it all over. She crawled out of her pack n play at the cabin this weekend... Which I have a feeling will now be a struggle, and her crib isn't far behind. I think the key is making sure she is really tired when she goes down, otherwise she will get bored and figure it out :). This morning when I got her from bed she had taken her pj bottoms off, as well as her diaper. Luckily there was no mess.

I am leaving Brynn with Dan for the first time for the weekend... I'm going to be going out to WI for my roommate from colleges baby shower. I'm excited and nervous. I hope I'm not too anxious while I'm gone and enjoy my time for myself. I'm sure going to miss her. I hate leaving her during the day when I need to go to the store on the weekend... I'm sure it'll be fine. I am gonna try to get him at least to Skype with me...we will see.

Soccer has been over for a couple of weeks, so I am enjoying having more time with Brynn. The school year is just going great. I'm having a great year. Grad school is done... And now I can have fun doing crafty things, and hopefully start painting the house soon. I'm starting to lose my mind with the white walls and wall paper. Yuk.

Otherwise just enjoying the decent weather while I can!
