Dear Brookelynn,

As your PaPa says you are a little character. You can now say Glammy, "Cacka" but she

says you say "GaGa" either way you have a hard time saying it correctly. You like to say hi to your poop after you go in the potty but then need to shut the lid quickly so you don't have to look at it. Needless to say a "character" is an understatement. 

You celebrated your second Easter this month. You loved searching for your eggs that the Easter bunny left and opening your gifts from your basket. You made out with lots of fun new things. And spent the day at Auntie Robin's. 

This month we got rid of the pack n play and you now have sleep overs on a little pink cot and you love it! You love snuggling up in your big girl bed with your pillow and blanket. Your becoming such a big girl. It's sad to say goodbye to all the baby stuff but we love our new toddler adventures too. Every stage had truley been my favorite. 

Glammy and I have been laughing about all your Daisy Ducks that I have to share a short list of all your Daisy's. 

Original Daisy, Fluffy Daisy, Extra Daisy (incase original goes missing), Car Daisy, Glammy Daisy, Big Daisy, TsumTsum Daisy and Itty Bitty Daisy. 

I think it's safe to say that your still obsessed with Miss Daisy Duck but Minnie and Ariel follow close behind! 

I love how much you love all your "friends" -XOX

Dear Brookelynn,

This month you finished your swim lessons and can now do a swim, float, swim sequence until you can reach the edge of the pool.  You didn't like swimming this year as much as you did last year but you did really well and learned what you needed to. 

There were a few firsts this month, you went in your first play date with a little girl named Amaya. Mommy went to school with both of her parents. You were a little timid and shy but had fun. This month you started wearing Pull Ups and have been doing well with going to the bathroom, but, it isn't your most favorite thing to do and you complain about it the whole time. We've even attempted a few night time potty training since you've been waking up dry. 

You celebrated your second St. Patricks Day and you loved looking for leprechauns. You would sit on the couch and look out the window and say that you found one. You especially loved your mint chip milkshake Glammy made you and searching for your gifts left by the little leprechauns. 

We bought Glammy a Glamma Bear Shirt and Mommy and you a Fancy Bear one to match we took pictures at UC Davis. It was a fun day. You loved seeing the ducks on the bike paths. 

You love animals and you especially love Palace Pets. We have been reading the chapter book series. You love sitting in Mommy's lap and listening to the cute little stories. I don't know many 19 month olds who would sit through a whole chapter book in one sitting. I opened an Instagram account for you called Brooke's Bookclub in hopes of sharing your love for reading with others. I would love to start a charity for you to share your love for reading with those less fortunate. 

And in true toddler fashion you got a giant bruise on your head! -XOX
