20 Months

Height:  31.5 inches
Weight:  26.5 lbs
Teeth:  Currently has 12 teeth, 4 of which are molars 
Words she likes to say:  "Bah" (ball), "dedeh" or "dah" (daddy/dada), "meh" (Mama).  She can also shake her head yes or no and sign the words all done, more, eat, bye bye, hi, and up.  She is still learning more body parts and now knows and can point to her head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, hands, feet, and tummy.  If you ask her to show you her teeth she opens her mouth as wide as she can and if you tell her "say cheese" she gives the most adorable squinty face smile.  I guarantee you haven't seen anything cuter than her cheese face! 
Favorite Toys:  Her Rocking pony!  Now that she can get on and off her pony all by herself, she loves to climb on and just start rocking back and forth.  She will also sit on her pony just to watch tv. 
Favorite Foods:  Anything that Mommy & Daddy are eating.  Even if she has already eaten everything on her full plate.  But still loving mac & cheese, fruit, and goldfish.  Daddy, Mommy and Brinleigh are also huge fans of the squeezable fruit pouches.  Brinleigh is obsessed with them and we love them because we can throw them in the diaper bag when we are on the go and she can eat them in her car seat since they aren't solid.    
Dislikes: Still not happy about diaper changes, but getting more cooperative.  As of lately, she doesn't seem to like being in her car seat or stroller for to long. 
Nicknames: BooBoo, Brinleigh Boo, Brinleigh D
Sleep Schedule:  Bedtime is at 9pm and she sleeps until about 10am.  She will wake up once or twice throughout the night and play in her crib and then go back to sleep until the morning.  She has developed a new habit recently of laying in bed in the morning and kicking her crib.  Since her crib is against the wall that our bedrooms share and we have the baby monitor as well, this has become our new alarm clock.  She is taking one nap a day, in the afternoon, usually between 3-4pm and wakes up between 5-6pm.  I'm slowly working on adjusting her daily schedule and sleep times now that I am no longer working.  Slowly being the key word.   
Favorite Activities:  Blowing Bubbles, jumping on anything but usually the couch, bath time, reading before bed.
Favorite Song: She seems to really like the song "Let it go" from the movie Frozen.  Any time that it comes on the tv during the movie she starts dancing to it.
Favorite Book:  Pretty much any and all books but especially loves Good Night: Touch & Feel Bedtime Book.
