Vicki's House

Brylon did not feel well this weekend, so we did not get to do anything fun to post. She started running a temperature Saturday night. I thought she was doing better yesterday, but she woke up this morning with a high temp. again. I took her to her doctor this morning and she has an ear infection. I was suprised because other than the fever and being a little more clingy than usual, she acted OK. Anyway, I guess we are lucky that she is 16 months old before her first ear infection and I pray that it is our last!!

I had an EMS meeting last night and Brian had Muster (it's an aggie thing), so Brylon stayed with Vicki and had a great time, as she always does with "ki". She seems to get out the last syllables to a word and forgets the first. She loves to give kisses to animals. It doesn't matter if they are stuffed, statues, or the real deal! Vicki has these deer and fawn statues that Brylon discovered and gave plenty of her kisses away. Papa Wayne has been trying to teach her to say "Blb,Blb" by runing her finger over her lips. Well she finally got it and has learned that Reo's tongue (our dog) does just as good as her finger. GROSS!!!

(Thanks Dad!)

She has always been more friendly and

flirtatious with men, but I really hope she

is not already becoming mesmerized with

teenage heart-throbs. We may be in for

some real trouble. I don't even know who

this guy is. Maybe Britni can

help me out.

She likes to throw anything - balls, rocks, it doesn't really matter! She likes her soccer ball best. I've tried to hide it and give her the basketball, but she loses interest until she finds her soccor ball. I'm really hoping her color preferences change soon, because I know NOTHING about soccer.

Getting Started

A friend of mine set up a site like this when she and her husband adopted their daughter to keep family and friends informed about their progress. She continues to keep it updated and I look forward to checking it periodically. I thought I would try to do the same for Brylon. I will try to keep it updated regularly, but I am not making any promises.

Brylon is now 15 months old and has her Daddy wrapped around her finger! (anyone surprised?) She is walking everywhere! In fact, she would rather walk than be confined only to the places that Mommy wants to go. She is becoming more and more independent every day.

She has moved up to the next class at her daycare. This was much harder for Mommy than it was for her. She never missed a beat and just fit right into her new class. Mrs. Yvette and Ms. Amanda from her newborn class spoiled me. I wish they could both move to the next classes with her. She is learning some sign language in her new class. She can sign eat, more, milk, bath, and of course her "what's up" head nod her daddy taught her. We are now working on Thank You! She gets this confused with eat. Maybe she doesn't get it confused, she may just want to eat all the time. Brian calls her his garbage disposal. We do not have to worry about her starving - She is NOT going to let that happen.

She is starting to talk a little more. She says hot, only it is "hhhoooot" in a whispered voice. She doesn't grasp the concept of hot yet though. Everything is hot whether it comes out of the oven or the freezer. She knows that a cow says "moo", but so does a dog, cat, or duck. Of course, her favorite word is Dada! You ask her to say Mama, Nana, or Oma, the only thing that comes out is Dada followed by a mischievous grin.

This is Brylon signing "eat". (Note the cracker already in her hand.) This is what she is doing half the time around the house. The other half of the time, she is tapping her fingers together (the sign for more), saying "mo,mo".

Ready to go to Oma & Opa's on Good Friday. She knows some spoiling is waiting for her.

Hunting Easter eggs at Eco-Drip. You get to pick up more if they all spill out of your basket.

You mean there is CHOCOLATE in these things?

WHAT?

She loves to climb on anything. She climbs on our concrete steps when we go outside, so we bought her this climb & slide thinking she would have a great time climbing and sliding. NOPE. She would rather sit and drink mom's tea and play with the ice.

You didn't really think that I would post a picture of her supporting A&M without also supporting the Red Raiders!

See ya soon!
