Baby brother...

Mommy and daddy tell me my baby broder (aka: brother) is coming soon. Mommy went to the doctor and they took cool photos of him. The doctor says everything is looking good and that my baby broder is very healthy. I can't wait to meet him and find out his name! Mommy and daddy say he has a name but they are keeping it a secret. They won't even tell me! I do repeat everything so I guess I understand. See you soon little broder.

Baby boy coming soon to a hospital near you...
Tentative arrival: 2/20/2010

Whose who?!

Mommy was showing me some old pictures of her when she was a baby. When she asked me who was in the picture I would say "Braylynn". Can you tell who is who?

What's in a name?

I'm talking all the time now. Sometimes in full sentences. I also like to repeat EVERYTHING mommy and daddy says (Be warned!). Click play below to hear me say my name.

Santa Claus is coming to town...

Mommy and daddy took me to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. I'm a little shy around strangers so I didn't want to sit in Santa's lap. Mommy and daddy decided to be in the picture with me so I wouldn't be sad. (Last year I cried because I thought Santa was scary).

Family picture with Santa...

Close up camera shot...

18 months

I'm 18 months and still growing.

34 inches tall (almost off the charts for my age!)
24 lbs 4 oz

I had to get two shots and I was very brave. I cried only for a second, then I got to pick a prize from the treasure box.

Chores...

My mommy and daddy said it's good to start me early on chores. Here's me helping around the house...

Reading to my monkey's...


Painting my (soon to be) baby brothers room...


I love to do windows...


Checking my email, updating my blog, online shopping...

New Jersey

My mommy, daddy and I went to New Jersey to visit family. We first flew on a plane but I only remember a little bit because then I slept the whole way. The weather was great and I was able to play outside a lot. Much different from Arizona where I can only play outside for a little bit because its so hot. I met lots of my family and got lots of hugs and kisses. I loved every bit of it!

Four generation picture...


Blowing bubbles... (thanks Aunt Rose for teaching me how)


Family picture on the porch...


Running outside...


Aunt Rose reading my new favorite book, Duck & Goose. I have to read it everyday! (Sometimes more than once. Mommy says she has it memorized.)

New shirt...

My mommy and daddy got me a new shirt. Can you read it? They say it means something pretty big but I'm not sure yet.

I guess on February 20th I'm gonna be a big sister. At least that's the date they tell my mommy and daddy my new baby will arrive. I was nine days early so I hope they prepare ahead of time just in case. I'm a great helper and can't wait to have someone to play with.

15 months old...

I'm 15 months old and had my well-baby doctor check-up. I'm growing like a weed (but I'm much cuter than one).

Weight: 23 lbs 5 oz (54th percentile)
Height: 33 inches (97th percentile!)



I love to climb on everything...which means I also fall a lot. In the picture you can see I have a little bit of a black eye. I fell off my rocking horse. I'm pretty tough and didn't even cry.

New things I like to say:
What's that?
All done.
Here you go.

I also kinda say my name if you ask me, but I don't like to say it when mommy has the camera. I pretend I'm shy...ha ha.

Sea World

We had lots of fun at Sea World.

Shamu show (I saw most of it, then fell asleep).

We found Shamu's tank after the show. I think it
was in a secret place because there wasn't that many
people there. I guess they only let the special kids see it!


Can I come swim with you?


Hi, Mr. Penguin. Is the water cold?
