Well our updates have been horrible! Our computer has taken a turn for the worse, so until we can get it fixed, we are borrowing computers!
Bryell is just about 18 months old and is so smart! She knows how to say and do so much! Her favorite word of course is NO and boy does she say it a lot! She is successfuly signing to us and is now converting some the the signing to words. She tells us please, thank you, and juice with her words. Her vocabulary is getting quite large and she is so curious about the names of things around her. She brings us things and says 'here you go.' We can tell her things and she understands us. She loves helping out around the house. She took a load of her dirty clothes clear across the house and put them in the dryer. :) If we ask her to go get something, she will go get it, or take things to different places. She is definitely a drama queen in the making. A few days ago we were almost late to work because Bryell wanted to wear her pink boots and of course, we could only find one. We ran all over the house looking for it while she said 'boot, boot, boot.' the whole time. We never found it and it took some seriously consoling as we put on another pair of shoes.
As of 17 months, Bryell was 32 inches tall, and 21.3 pounds. As of today, she is wearing 12 month onesies, 18 month pants, and size 3-3.5 shoes.
Bryell has a lamb that she drags around with her everywhere. She sleeps with it and as a comfort thing, she sticks the ear in her eye. There is lots of drama when it is time for it to be washed.
