35 Months/11 Weeks Old

We are so close to having a 3-year old in the house, it's scary! Kami is constantly reminding everyone that after Santa Claus comes, she'll be three (or "free" as she says it, but according to my count, she's been anything but free...). We're also getting closer to Christmas and the marketing teams of all major toy brands are geniuses because Kami wants everything that she sees on TV. Nickelodeon has commercials for both kids and stay-at-home moms, so she'll see a video game commercial and say "I want that after Santa Claus comes!" (she says it about a million miles an hour) which is coincidentally the same thing she says when there's a Dyson commercial on. I had to remind her the other day that it didn't matter how cool the ball on the vacuum cleaner looked, Santa wasn't bringing her a shiny yellow Dyson. Sad girl. She's also figuring out associations, like Wendy has horses at her house, so every time she sees a horse, "A horse like at Wendy's house!" She also remembers that my mom's favorite color was red and stop signs are red, so any time we drive by one, "A red octagon stop sign Grandma's favorite!" Cute kid we've got on our hands!

Brooklyn continues to get bigger every day as babies do. Her hair also gets bigger every day and we are constantly getting stopped in public for people to pet my baby. Not sure how I feel about it, but I pet her hair all the time. She's talking to us more and more and smiling and starting to figure out her hands. The other day she was fascinated by my dad's beard and just stared and grabbed. She's a sweet girl and we're all interested to see what kind of personality she'll have. Will we have two spazzy girls or one spaz and one shy girl? We'll see!


Happy Thanksgiving! Brooklyn and Jonah just happened to wear the same outfit...seriously! It was a coincidence!

Brooklyn's cheeks are so heavy it's hard to keep her head up.

Kami likes to watch cartoons in our room at the foot of our bed.

I don't think Brooklyn liked Dada giving Kami all the attention.

Sweet sleepy girl.

Brooklyn loves to watch her big sister.

Another Kami self-portrait.

Sweet face.

There's a giant baby in my sink!

I asked Kami to look at me over her shoulder and she got it confused with her elbow.

"Sees (cheese) mama!"

Kami's picture of dada and baby sister.

Kami was watching "Dinosaur Train" one day and built one herself (while wearing her old Batman costume) and was so proud she needed a picture of herself.

Tummy time turned into nap time for Brooklyn.
