21 months and 7 months

i seriously have not been keeping up with blogging and in a way it makes me sad because i've chronicled so much of caleb's baby days, but posting about brynna's happenings is rare. i know that everybody says the first baby gets the most of everything and then baby number two seems to get the shaft...poor brynna cuz it's proving to be true.

anyways, here's some memories of 7 months and 21 months.

brynna is our smiley girl. she always laughs hysterically with daddy entertaining her and often laughs (though seemingly not as hard or loud) with baba (gramma) and me. she's so huggable and smooshable. she's super quick with her scooting around and when she sets her sights on something, she takes off to get it. her sleeping is pretty unpredictable (waking up three times one night, two times another...last night she finally did only one waking up, but we know that's probably just a fluke). she loves to stand and jump, and would rather be sitting up than lying down. she loves her brother and smiles happily whenever he's near her or giving her lovies. she's a cruiser...prime example of brynna is us going to costco today. she cruised in her stroller without making one sound for the entire shopping trip. no fussing, just chilling. she's eating more and more real food and has gone through peas, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes with corn. tomorrow she starts carrots.

at 21 months caleb is starting to show his temper. okay, admittedly he's been showing his 'tude since his entrance into this world, but lately it's been manifesting itself in screeching, throwing his arms around, and even hitting us. when he doesn't get his way he starts to throw a fit. he has separation anxiety and will no longer happily go with his colmenares grandma and grandpa. he's becoming more verbal (thank GOD) and understands directions pretty well. he'll still eat pretty well, but is getting a little bit more picky now. he's not always mr cuddly, but he will sometimes come and give you a random hug and will give kisses before bed and when he's going "bye bye". a few nights ago he made us laugh (and made us irritated) because he didn't want to go to bed. he was in his room, but didn't want to stay in bed. he was up, pulled my mom's luggage out, and was playing contentedly with the zippers. later on, after putting him in bed again, i go to check him and he's lying not on his bed, but on my mom's. i walk into the room to move him back and see that not only is he on her bed, but he also has the tv on...watching roots cuz that's the dvd my mom had in. lol!

these two little ones keep me on my toes, keep me busy, and keep me tired...but also keep me smiling!!!
