So after I wrote Preslee's 9 month post I realized that I never did one for Brooke who turned 3 years old at the beginning of January.
3 years!
Brookey & Grandma at her 3rd birthday party.
Brooke & Auntie Kels, they are pretty much BFF's
At 3 years old, Brooke:
• weighs 30 lbs, and is fairly tall for her age.
• talks like she's 25.
• has so much energy that I would like even half of it.
• loves the movie Aladdin, and The Return of Jafar.
• is very loving.
• always says thank you, but usually forgets please.
• is recently potty trained.
• has a mind of her own, and an attitude to match.
• loves her daddy more then anyone in the world :)
• loves vegetables, peanut butter sandwiches, cheesestrings, and pancakes.
• loves to play princess, and build things with Kale.
• is a social butterfly, and is fiercely independent.
• is just as accident prone as Kale is, and always has scratches and bruises.
• loves to be outside, no matter the weather.
• still naps once a day, probably because she's SO active.
• loves to swim!
• loves to read books, and sing songs.
Brooklyn is a fun little girl! She's always doing something, and hardly ever sits still. She loves to give cuddles, and loves to EVERYONE she meets :) In the last year she has developed an attitude, and pairing that with her need for independence she's given me a run for my money! I love this little girl, she makes our lives so much fun!

Preslee turned 9 months old yesterday.
I don't know how this happened SO fast! I feel as though she was just born.
Some facts about Pres at 9 months are:
• She is SO happy.
• She has 5 teeth.
• Not a lot scares her. I think it's because she has Brooke as a sister, she just giggles.
• She nursed for 7.5 months but now LOVES her bottle.
• She will only drink out of a sippy if it has water in it and even then it's a challenge.
• She loves to sit up, and is so close to crawling.
• She gets the biggest smile on her face whenever Brooke gets into trouble.
• She LOVES food! She will eat anything but mostly loves to feed herself finger foods.
• She sleeps 12 hours at night at the very least.
• She naps twice a day, although sometimes it's just in the car
while I run Brooke to her various activities.
• She loves the bath, and just recently started sitting up in it.
• She has just recently "found her voice" and is now incredibly loud if she's comfortable in her environment.
• If she isn't comfortable, she is very quiet and observes. She takes it all in.
Preslee has been a dream baby, right from the beginning. She's very easygoing, and very loving. She thinks her big sister is the best thing in the world, and loves to be hugged and kissed by her. I just love this little girl, she makes life so happy.
I can't wait to see what the next few months bring!

Okay. I know it's been 8 months.
It's not that I have nothing to talk about, but having 2 little ones keeps me quite busy!
I really want to try harder.
I want to have a record somewhere of our lives. I want to remember little and big events, and cute things my kids have said. I want to remember the good, and the not as good.
Brooke is 3. To some of you 3 years may not seem like a lot, but those years have flown by and it makes me sad. I love to watch them grow, and discover new things (except for tantrums, I hope those are undiscovered soon) BUT at the same time I just want time to slow down.
This is the year I'm going to do better.
A girlfriend of mine picks a word every year, and this year that word is improve.
I think that's going to be my word for the year also because lets face it, I have a long way to go.
I'm going to improve myself, hopefully in many areas.
What YOUR word for the year?
