Bristol 14 months

Its been way too long since I updated. Bristol is a wild woman. Se tries to keep up with her brothers and does a pretty good job at it!

She is a climber just like Bennett and Brayden. She makes is all the way to the top of our playground in the backyard and climbs the ladder on her own. She can climb on the couch and several other things.

She has been in 4 pageants. We have been having fun doing this. It gives me a chance to hang out with just her and my mom and sister as well. We are starting to learn the ropes.

 

 

I took her paci away about 5 days ago. It has been hard but not too bad. She has slept great and not missed a beat on that. The car rides are harder and it's harder to have to hear the whining during e day. But I know that it is best in the long run to get this over with the younger she is. It's sad for me to think the last thing making her a baby is now gone. She is such a big girl.

She is starting to talk more. She can say: mama, dada, braybray, stinky, cracker, dog, uh oh, thank you, and tries to mimics words often. She also shakes her head no.

She understands and can follow simple instructions way sooner than what the boys did.

She loves babies and baby dolls.

She still does good at church nursery and being dropped off, unlike Brayden at that age.

 

She always is standing in her high hair and hardly will sit now , ugh I forgot how early that started.

 

Se is starting to turn into a daddy's girl, boo :(

 

Look at how well she is holding that crayon!

 

She is so opinionated and knows just what she wants!

Bristol's Watermelon Party

Bristol's 1st birthday party theme was watermelon (pink and green). We had all kinds of cute decorations. Being on June 1 I was counting on nice weather to have most of it in our backyard. Of course they called for storms all day so I couldn't set things up outside. But it did not storm so the kids got to play outside after all and we had bought a inflatable waterslide so Brian set that up once we realized it was nice enough to enjoy it. I was super excited that we got to let the big kids enjoy that!

Her monthly pictures display...it was hard to get a good picture of it up on the wall. It turned out great! My friend Lauren, with Lemon and Lime Designs ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lemon-and-Lime-Designs/301859449842560?ref=ts&fref=ts )made it and the happy birthday banner for me.

Bristol is ONE

Baby girl is one year old!

She has 4 teeth and one about to pop through.

She is sassy. She can have a temper as well.

She has learned how to shake her head "no" when she doesn't want something.

She keeps up with her brothers pretty well. She is only two steps behind them at any given moment.

She has just starting pointing at things. On vacation she loved to point at all of the fish in the aquariums.

She nurses once at night before bed, other than that she eats table food. She likes crackers a lot, bananas, muffins, chicken, spagehetti, and anything her brothers are eating.

She loves to be held when we are at home, especially if mommy is trying to get something done, an if I can't she usually cries and follows me around.

She will usually go to anyone until she sees mommy walk past.

Bristol is 11 months old

Bristol is turning into such a big girl!

She now has two teeth!!!

She is walking everywhere, all the way across the room.

She loves to climb on things, she learned that from her big brothers.

She loves to eat, she really doesn't like baby food and wants whatever we are eating. She does like the squeeze pouches though.

She wears 12 months in most clothes, although some 9 months still fits.

She loved the circus and music when we went last week.

She can climb stairs, I found her at the very top of our 14 (hardwood) steps last week!

She loves baths and showers.

She still nurses some, but getting less and less...usually when she wakes up at 5am she likes to nurse and then maybe once during the day and once right before bed, sometimes maybe once or twice more.

Her feet are still tiny, wears a 2 infant. Sometimes it is a 6 month shoe and we even have a pair of 3-6 month pair that fit good.

She already is getting a little tan and its only April, she defiantly doesn't take after mommy in that area.

Her hair is turning so light, right now it is light light brown, with some blonde highlights and black tips in the spots where her newborn hair is still in.

Her eyes are turning like Mommy's and Brayden's, hazel is what you call it I guess, but really they are multicolored and change. Brownish greenish blueish.

She loves her brothers. She is a Mommy's girl right now but loves when her daddy comes home.

She wants to get into everything her brothers are into.

Bristol 10 months

Bristol is starting to really show her personality now.

She wants to do everything her brothers do, and she is crawling really fast now so she is starting to be able to catch up with them.

The other day I caught her on the fourth stair when I forgot to close the gate.

She is really close to being able to walk. She stands up on her own in the middle of the room constantly now.

She got her first tooth on 3/24/13. Yes pretty late on that one haha.

 

4/4/13 her first real steps, 3-4 steps!!!
