Things Brielle is up to

My little Brielle is a little character full of personality, mischief, smiles and pure entertainment. It's been a little while since I updated what my little stinker is doing.
-After a bath she stands by the edge and waves bye-bye to the water, when the water is gone she says 'uh-oh.'
-Runs to the door if the doorbell rings and likes to open the door
-Puts my shoes on (or anyone shoes) and walks around in them. She doesn't sit to put them on, she stands and waits patiently until both feet are in.
-Can make animal noises for a bee, monkey, gorilla (hitting her chest and all), dog, cat, and cow.
-says a ton of words and her vocabulary grows daily. Here is a list that I can think of: more, fish and fishy, uh-oh, goldfish, please, thank you, baba (bottle), pacy, no, yes, all done, I did it, rajah, no more, duck, two, wow, book, mama, dada, bread, keys, lunch, up, grandma, sh (and puts her finger up to her mouth), wawa (water), door, hot, papa, ashes (from the song ring around the rosie), bowl, off, on, ouch, pillow, brr (whenever we go outside, or she feels a breeze), birdies, temple, vases, Jesus, shoes, eyes, arm, and toes. Some words are clearer then others. I can't believe how much she talks. She babbles a ton too, especially when looking at books.
-shut the door-any door. The gate to the stairs, the door into the bathroom or her room. Her new thing is to shut the door when she is playing in her room. If I come in-she smiles and pushes me out and shuts the door again.
-She is SO good at putting things away. For instance after playing with the flashlight/night light plug in on the wall, she will put it back. At music group she picks up as many props and puts them away-she does this at home too.

Those are just a few things I can think of off the top of my head. Below contain pictures of her current behaviors-some good, some bad.


We have started pulling out some baby items and it's like reuniting with old friends. Brielle cannot get enough of her old toys. The funny part is some of these toys she didn't really appreciate but she sure does now.



She found a new place to play.


She enjoyed playing with my exercise equipment

Once she saw the drums she ran over to play them. She has a very serious look on her face

We were cleaning out the rooms and she found this doll chair. She thought she would try it out.

We are teaching her to color. She likes to play with the crayons more than use them, but she is slowly but surly understanding the concept.

We have had this vanity since she was born. She has always shown some interest but nothing like she does now. She sits on the little seat and opens all the drawers. She keeps a play credit card and a monkey in it and moves these items from drawer to drawer. It's so stinkin cute to watch her play. I moved it into our bathroom so it could entertain her while I was in the shower, it's been there ever since.

Ok my little girl has officially turned into a monkey becuase she loves to climb on things. She has learned how to climb onto the chairs and onto the table (which we discourage every time). Below are a few other places she has decided to climb and I have captured it on camera.

She was so upset I moved the leap frog table away from the tub

Another trend is going to her room and ripping out the blankets. However, on occasion she will open the drawer and rip everything out of it.

When Brielle gets really tired she wants to be put onto the bed where she will crawl or walk to the top of the bed, sit down, pull the blankets up to her and lounge.
