...So Bryleigh has gotten the walking skill pretty much down and has moved on to her next big thing... Being a mom.

She takes this job very seriously... She loves her babies, she sings with them, takes them fun places... Bryleigh makes sure her babies don't get hurt or taken. She accomplishes this by carrying the baby around everywhere she goes. And as if holding one is not enough, she will come and take a doll you're holding even if it makes crawling or walking hard, just because it's her's. Just one of the many the joys of having a toddler! She loves her babies and squeezes them tight and gives them lots of love. She helps them fall asleep by patting their backs and rocking them back and forth. She treats her babies nicely except when they're naughty, she will occasionally bite them on the arm or drop them (especially if another toy looks like more fun...)

Her baby is the first toy that she's shown a connection with the word and the object. I'll say "go get your baby or where's your baby?" and she will search the house until she has found it and will bring it back. She's getting so smart!

I'm glad she is so mother-like and knows how people, real or not, are supposed to be treated. I guess she has a good mom to teach her the right way. :)

..movie night..

The other night me and Bryleigh stayed up late watching the Wizard of Oz!

I love that movie and was so happy to see that she did too!! She is such a crazy and happy baby that is always on the move so I was really surprised to see her sit so well and watch the show with me! She did get up a few times but realized she was missing the movie and stopped what she was doing to watch again! This picture of her by the couch is my favorite, look how cute she stands...! :) We definately had a fun night but by the middle of the movie Bryleigh was so sleepy and ready for bed, I ended up watching the rest of the movie alone but was happy to have someone to snuggle with me for part of it!

Day at the Doctor....

She wasn't afraid of the doctor...

After waking up with a rash that covered the right side of her face and right side of her belly and waiting all day while it spread, Bryleigh seemed excited to be at the doctor's office. She yelled, played in all the cupboards, and walked around the room waiting to hear what the problem was. We had an eventful morning after I noticed the red dots on her face. After going to daycare/work to have them look at it, we decided to call the doctor. They didn't have any appointments available until 2:15!! So we had to wait all day at home. I was worried because the rash that had started very small had grown to her whole stomach and back and was all over her face!! She didn't seem to be as worried though, she still wanted to play, eat and crawl all over the house. After a little lunch, it was time to go and figure out what the rash was from. The doctor came right in, took a couple looks at Bryleigh, who waited so nicely, and decided she was allergic to Penicillin. She had been taking it last week for an ear infection but developed the allergy three days after finishing the medicine. The allergy is bad news for when she gets an infection again and will need to try out a new medicine but luckily nothing serious was wrong!
