Birthday girl

Brynna turned one on March 31st so I wanted to document some things she is doing right now. She was probably the most aggressive of all 4 kids when it came to eating her cake! She was so cute. She had to pick at the frosting for a little bit but once she dug into the cake, she was really into it! She squished it all around and through her fingers and would occasionally take a little bite. She completely demolished it!

Let's see... What else is she up to? She is so much fun right now because it seems like she is learning something new everyday. She started walking a little before 10 months old and has been unstoppable ever since. She looks for any opportunity to escape the living room and head to the stairs. She is up them in no time at all. We have to really remind the big kids to make sure to close the baby gate or she makes a run for it! She also loves the bathroom toilet anytime she can get to it!

She is the best eater out of all of our kids. I honestly haven't given her anything that she hasn't liked. She eats pretty much what we eat - just cut up into little bites. We stopped formula right at a year old and switched to whole milk and she hasn't noticed or doesn't care. I am not sure exactly which!

She will put her hand up to her ear when the phone rings and brushes her hair with the brush. She can find her binkie if you ask her where it is. She isn't saying much yet but she says, "this" very clearly! I think anytime I ask her if she wants something that I show it to her and say, "You want this," so she picked up on that.

She pretty much loves everyone and I don't think the stranger anxiety has kicked in yet. She will still smile at anyone who talks to her and sometimes even hold out her arms to random people. :) She is such an easy going baby. Not sure if that is nature or nuture since she has been on the go pretty much since birth with three older active siblings. We have soccer going on right now and I can already tell it is going to be a long summer chasing her around!
