My sweet baby!

Okay so I'm feeling really guilty that I still haven't posted Brooklyn's first birthday. I can't find my battery to my camera anywhere (that's where all of Brooklyn's "1st birthday" pics are) and no one sales it so I have to order a new one. As soon as I get the battery I will post her BIG day, but for now, here are some fun facts about (and pics) of my baby!!!

I can't believe that this sweet thing......has already turned into this sweet thing!!
Brooklyn is definitely one of a kind, while she has certain personality traits of her brother and sister, she is definitely her own person. So many people ask me if Brooklyn ever cries because she is always so happy, the answer is only when she is hungry or hurt. Brooklyn truly is the BEST baby ever (minus the few months we dealt with ear infections). She loves to give hugs and kisses, she is very good at fake crying, she is good at getting what she wants, and she can brighten up a whole room. She is my little angel and when I'm having a bad day all I have to do is pick Brooklyn up and she makes it all better.
Brooklyn is probably the fastest crawler I know, and though she is getting better at walking she still prefers crawling (which is totally fine by me).
Another thing so many people say to me, is how much Brooklyn and Brayden look alike. Her looks are not all she got from her big brother, either. The other day I couldn't find Brooklyn anywhere, I walked into my room calling her name and I heard a little squeal. I was looking everywhere when finally I looked up, yes up. Brooklyn had crawled onto our desk chair, and then onto the desk and was sitting there with a pencil in one hand and paper in the other. She was so proud of herself! Yes, she got her climbing skills from Brayden, I'm in for it with 2 climbers in the family!!!

Brooklyn's stats at 12 months:
Weight: 17lbs-2%
Length: 28.5 in-31%
Head circ.: 17.5 in-32%
So as you can see she is still small!

Brooklyn's words:
dada
mama
grandpa (she says this with a growl)
Avery (her cousin)
Brea (her friend)
Chaco (her friends dog)
doggy
ah oh sgeti do (ah oh spaghetti o)
love you
bye bye
cracker
juice

Here are just a few more fun pics, this is where the climbing began!
She loves to get on the dishwasher while I'm loading or unloading it!
She is always so proud of her accomplishments!
I can't believe how fast time goes, it makes me sad that she is getting so big. At the same time I love watching her grow into a little girl!
We love you Brooklyn!
