Brynn at 18 months

This is my favorite age!  If I could freeze time right now I would.  Brynn is picking up words at warp speed and her vocabulary is growing by the day.  She's also putting two words together now and tells me when she has pottied in her diaper.  Her personality is really coming out and she has totally taken on the stereotypical little sister role.  Ava will be playing with something and Brynn will run up all stealth like, snatch something and run for her life with a huge grin on her face.  She gets the biggest kick out of it too! Ava chases after her screaming and yelling and Brynn just runs faster and laughs harder.  It's hilarious to watch.

She can name all of her body parts, some colors and some alphabet letters.  She's already wearing a 2T and the same size shoe that Ava wore at 2 years old.  She looks so much like me when I was little it's almost weird sometimes.  She loves her sister so much and lights up when Ava walks into the room.  It's really cute in the  mornings because Brynn is always up first and when she see's Ava coming down the stairs she lights up, screams her name and runs to her to give her a big hug.
