Little Swimmers!

Jackson got in the pool for the first time tonight!  He was so amazing.  He immediately stretched out and floated on his daddy like it was no big deal.  HE LOVED IT!  He was so relaxed and he really seemed to enjoy it.  Brianna really thought it was funny that Jax was swimming, too.  She told us earlier in the day that he couldn't go swimming because he might float away LOL.  She's too funny.  They had a good time together in the pool.  Bri pretended to be a baby in our arms like Jax and wanted to float on her back, too.  She enjoyed showing off her swim skills in front of Grandma.  It was a great evening!

Brianna: 28 Months Old!

Brianna, you are 28 months old!  I'm not sure how to describe you at this age, Brianna.  Here are a few words that come to mind:  vivacious, loving, energetic, kind, dramatic, outgoing, expressive, beautiful, and most importantly, SMART.  On August 13th you were playing with your Aquadoodle mat and you said, 'Mommy, look an R'.  And sure enough, you had drawn an R on the page.  You simply amaze me.  You are beginning to recognize your letters and numbers and you are not even two and a half.  And you have started counting.  You had three clementine oranges in your hands.  I asked you how many you were holding and you answered three.  Brilliant I tell you!  Your vocabulary is out of this world!  I can have entire conversations with you without a problem.  It is surreal.

Your R:

You love art and here is your recent wall art:

Thankfully it is washable

You love for us to read to you and love to 'read' the books on your own as well.  You currently enjoy the Curious George books and the Dr. Seuss books like 'There's a Wocket in my Pocket'.

Lately you have really gotten into tv shows and movies.  You love watching Caillou and Curious George over and over again and you quote and act out scenes from the episodes.  You have a great memory and you really get into it.  You copy this fake cry from the Caillou show where he accidentally writes on a library book and pretend to be sad.  And you love Tangled, Piglet's BIG Movie, and Puss N Boots.  You start yelling at the TV when Humpty Dumpty gets arrested by the soldiers and you pretend to cry.  You seriously get upset and I calm you down lol!  Acting might be in your future haha.

You LOVE sweets.  You love going to the potty if you know you will get candy!  You helped me bake brownies yesterday:

Just a little messy...

You ate a licorice jelly bean and LIKED it.  You get that from Aunt Becky!

You like a variety of foods but I have trouble getting you to sit down and eat.  You have no time for that. :)

You love your little brother so much.  You love to help mommy take care of him.  I have caught you trying to give Jax a bottle while he was sleeping and also trying to soothe him with your sippy cup if he was crying.  So sweet! 

Loving on Jackson

You love going to parks and swimming.  You've always been my water baby and that has not changed.  You're swimming skills have really improved lately.  You can get all over the pool by yourself and fast with your life jacket on.  Daddy and I took you to Peach Creek a few weeks ago and you had a blast.  We will be going again soon.

Enjoying some pool time

You are such a sweet, sweet girl.  We enjoy watching you grow into such an amazing individual.  Keep it up, Bri Bri!
