19 month old and 29 weeks prego

Brylianna you are 19 months old

You are so cute and friendly and wave and smile and blow kisses to everyone. You wake up in the morning and love to say "Mommy." "Daddy" until we come get you, it is pretty much adorable.
You LOVE to go outside and brings us your shoes and jacket about 15 times a day because you know you need to put them on to go outside. You say "Outside" so cute it mostly sounds like "Side?" If I tell you no to something you are starting to go to Daddy haha You LOVE baths and everytime we ask you if you want to take a bath you whisper "Bath" really excitedly and literally run to the bath tub. (You need to stop drinking bath tub water!) You still love other babies and always always point them out. You want to give them all high fives. You love movies. You are climbing more and more things and can get up onto our kitchen chairs super fast now. You have learned so many animals and sounds they make and can do them so good. You are also learning and know and can point to a lot of body parts. You are so smart. You still get really confused when I ask you where baby brother is :) But you will point to mommy, and daddy, and yourself. ( You've done this for awhile now)
You are such a good napper and sleeper still, you usually sleep from 8:30 to 8:30 ish and nap from about 1;30 to 3 or 3;30. You just woke up while I was typing this at 7am though

You love animals and you are especially excited about kittys and horses right now. Our neighbors have a cat and you love to look for it and say "Kitty!" and you always want to hold it. You point to horses and say "It's a neigh!"


29 weeks pregnant with Baby boy

Feeling super pregnant
I wake up often at 4 am and can't go back to bed
Baby boy is super active all the time
My stomach moves on the daily now
I am getting sciatica occasionally
Still able to workout :)
Craving sweets
Have to pee all the time
I constantly go between wanting baby boy here already and wanting time to speed up, but I want it to slow down at the same time to enjoy the cute stage that Brylianna is in
We love you baby boy! ( We will agree on a name soon I think ;) )

You love finding little seats that are just your size. And you looked up and said hi to everyone that walked by on the sidewalk

You are pointing to some ducks that are hard to see in this picture

This is the first park you went to and it is close to where we live. We walk here a lot and you love it 

Feeding ducks at 1st dam 

You go tired on the way home from the park :) 

You love playing in the sand

Daddy did your hair :) 

You love laying on your tummy randomly throughout the day lately. It is pretty cute

I asked if you wanted a ducky and you didn't even hesitate and said "Yeah" and reached out your hands toward them

1st watermelon of the season, You love watermelon

You also love pasta

You look SO big lately! 

Rainy day at the park 

I put on Curious George ( An animated monkey cartoon) and you sat like this for like 20 minutes straight lol

29 weeks! 

P.S I wrote this like April 31st and am only just now hitting publish though!

18 months

Oh where does the time even go? Some days last forever, but months and years seem to go by all too fast!
Brylianna is 18 months old now, our big girl. She can say so many words now and understands things we ask her to do and questions and she is developing her own little personality and attitude. The other week she even knew what was said two different times when we spelled words! Holy cow, was NOT ready for that already haha The other day we said Hey do you want to watch a m-o-v-i-e? and she looked up at us and said excitedly "Movie!" and walked towards the tv room, it was so funny and Pat and I just looked at each other like what just happened? We don't even watch that many movies, she just loves them.
And the other day at nursery in church they said they spelled the word "Cookie" and she knew what they were saying then too. So she is either extremely smart or just loves her cookies and movies :)

Tantrums are starting but haven't been too bad yet. She never wants to sit still, loves being outside, loves yogurt, other babies and kids still, can give high fives and knuckles, she is figuring out how to ride the little four wheeler my dad bought her, she likes riding on the tractor at Grandpa Hollien's with dad or grandpa as well. She loves the bath tub now. She has just started laying on her tummy during the day when reading a book or playing with toys and will kick her legs. It is so cute.

We just bought her a pair of sunglasses and she loves them and wants to wear them everyday. She is getting good at recognizing animals and can name a lot of animal sounds correctly. She still sleeps about 12 hours at night and take around a 1 and 1/2 - occasional 3 hour nap during the day from about 1-3 or so.

She loves animals and will run at cats or dogs and hold her arms our and motion them to come here with her hands by opening and closing them with her palms up. It's pretty adorable.

Starting to hate going to the Dr's. Had her first dentist appointment though and did great.

She hasn't had a blowout in like 6 months and pooped all over her dress at church during sacrament meeting the other day. Of course I wasn't prepared, but I at least had a onesie she could wear the rest of church with her jacket on lol. And I ran out of wipes cleaning her up and another sweet mother in the mother's lounge let me borrow a couple more wipes. Thank goodness for kind people.

Oh and we had a crazy winter with SO much snow. Probably the most snow we have had since we have lived here.

We love you Brylianna! We are so excited to keep watching you learn and grow and are so grateful for the love and joy you bring into our lives ;)

Brylianna giving cousin Felise a hug 

Helping cook in my Grandma Hollien's apron

She loves pointing to everything in books and having us name all the different things

We found out Brylianna is getting a little BROTHER! ;)
( We found out like 7 weeks ago, I am just behind blogging)

"I'm getting a brother?? :) " 

She just looks so cute in winter clothes and these adorable pink boots! 

1st outdoor walk of the year yay!

I was in the kitchen one day and turned around because Brylianna was clapping and she was just sitting in this drawer haha

I was in the kitchen and turned around and Brylianna just climbed into this drawer and sat there and started clapping haha 

We went to Erda for Spring Break and on the way I had to pee so we stopped at a Chick fil a and they were like doing Cake with the Cow mascot and Brylianna kept Moo-ing at it ( haha) and then one of the nice managers gave her this little book (We didn't even buy anything we literally just used their restroom, I felt so bad!) But Brylianna loved it and read the book almost the whole way we had left. 

She loved running around outside, and riding the tractor and her little four wheeler!

Wanting to go back outside always 

Sometimes the most entertaining thing on road trips is yourself lol 

So precious

One of my all time favorite pictures :) Oh my heart 

Watching a movie with one sock on 

Check out that cute little attitude!

I just love them
