I guess I'll stop doing huge monthly posts now that Brighton is over a year. But I'm still going to post a list of a few things:

Words: Hi, bye bye, it's hot, nana, daddy, mama, go, baby, button, balloon, all done, all gone, uh-oh, good, what's that, yuck, keys, tree, ball..... and I think that's it. She started saying thank you for a few days, but that hasn't become regular yet.

Starting to try and climb onto things (So thankful that has been so delayed)

Walks like a champ. Refuses to hold my hand, and could care less if I'm with her. She is very independent.

Songs we sing: Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wheels on the Bus, Popcorn Popping, How Much is That Doggy, I'm a Little Teapot.

Favorite Book: Where's the Babies Belly Button

Favorite Activities: Getting chased, playing in the water... sink, bathtub, sprinkler, doesn't matter. Singing and dancing, playing with keys, carrying things all over the house, and playing the piano.

Favorite Foods: Bananas! This girl can eat a whole banana in like 4 bites, no joke. Waffles, eggs, fruit and veggies.

Funny Story: I gave her some peas and carrots at dinner one night. I think she was getting frustrated trying to pick them up one at a time, so she just started sucking them off of her plate. I look over and she brings her face up with a pea stuck in each nostril and a look on face like, "Um mom, I can't breath!" I had to pull them out for her. Wish I had my camera!

Can Find: Her eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, ears and belly button.

Other: Takes 2 naps FINALLY, wears 12 - 18 month clothes, drinks a bottle before naps and bedtime (I'm suppose to wean her of that by 15 months... we'll see).

An attempt to get some things on video...

That wasn't too long...
