Brynlee is 11 months

Dear Brynie,

Oh what a ball of personality you are!!  You crack me up daily and you really crack yourself up.  You think it is hilarious to shake your head "no" and in fact actually told me "no" today.  You were trying to get in the trash can in the bathroom and I told you "No" and you came right back at me with your very own "no".  I was a little surprised to say the least.  I'm so not excited that that is your newest word.  You are also saying "Be-wa" (Bella) as well as all the words you were saying last month.  You are in to everything but especially love the dog's water bowl.  You can stand and play with a toy for a pretty long length of time but you are still not walking.  We have caught you taking a step here and there but you don't seem real interested in really trying.  Crawling is much faster for you right now anyway.  You have 6 teeth and you like to use them to bite.  Last night I thought you were leaning in to kiss me and actually bit the fire out of my lip.  It hurt, you laughed, oh dear.  You still prefer our bed but we are working on getting you back in your bed.  You still have nights were you don't sleep well and pull mommy's hair all. night. long.  Yikes!  You re still in your size 2 diapers and 6-9 month clothes.  You are a tiny little spit fire and we love you oh so much!!

Love,
Mommy
