I sure love this girl! She is hilarious, and she always ceases to amaze us with her wit and wisdom. A funny thing about Brooklyn is this thing she has with names. For example, she, on a whim will decide to call someone what she wants - usually something that is similar to the name but to her is more familiar. And it's not always right when she meets someone, sometimes it's after calling them the right name for months. Are you confused? Let me give you a few examples:
Kodi is Coyote
Portia is Tasha
Rudolph is Pluto or sometimes Pludolph - she's a little fickle on this one
McKinley is Kelly
Ashton is Sebastion
I think you get the point. The funny thing is she thinks she is right, or either really stubborn...could be both. When I try to correct her she always has the same response "no it's not!" mixed in with a stomp of the feet as hands fly to the waist. She continually hears poeople call them their real name but it means nothing to her. I'm not kidding she has a LOT of "nicknames" if you will for people. It's pretty funny.
Another thing I love about Brooklyn is that she LOVES her sister, and vice versa. I cannot get Brielle a sippy, a snack, set her in a cart - or anywhere for that matter without Brielle slapping the spot next to her or holding her hand out saying "sissy, sissy" She wants her to have everything she has and wants her to be next to her all the time - it's pretty cute. Brooklyn takes such good care of Brielle and is always putting her arm around her when they watch a show, or comforts her when she is in time out (usually for bitting Brooklyn-Brielle is still in the I get frustrated because I can't totally communicate stage). I recently put them in the same room at night and Brielle will usually whine for Mike or I to come in and it's cute to see how Brooklyn comforts her and tells her it's okay I'm right here if you need anything, I'll protect you. I was warned before I had Brielle that you better hope they get along since they are so close in age. I am so glad they love eachother because not getting along really wouldn't be an option :) Thanks for getting along girls!

I love reading your blog--your girls are so adorable. Where will you guys be living in Cali?
She's such a cutie and you're such a good mommy!!! I love reading your blog! Thanks for the couponing advice... I'm going to be extremely cautious to only buy the things that I KNOW we will eat. I hope we get to see you guys soon!
too cute!
so to answer your question, I feel fine, although I have felt a significant drop in energy levels recently. probably from lugging around all that poundage.
I've always liked the name 'Coyote'! It works.
You're girls are so stinkin' cute... Scarlett wants to be like them :)
