18 Months Old!

Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life.  And everyone deserves a little sunshine.  ~Jeffrey Glassberg

Sug and I took Braylin to the Botanic Gardens in
Fort Worth where they had a butterfly garden...
full of all different species of butterflies. It was
beautiful! The rest of the following pictures are
also from the Gardens.

 BRAYLIN JAE

Miss America. Hollywood. Miss Priss.

These are a few of her nicknames.

A few claim she's even got the pageant wave.

She's bossy.

She's demanding.

She's short tempered...

Believe me when I say, our hands are full and I'm afraid we are paying for my raising, and Jared's, and my sister's and Uncle Jojo, Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake.... We are in trouble.

ha ha ha!

BUT SHE SURE IS CUTE.

AND SO SO SO MUCH FUN!

I could sit back and just watch her all day long. She intrigues me with her ability to 

catch on to things. Sometimes I don't even know where she learns what she knows!

At first meeting, one might think she doesn't talk much and doesn't smile,

but Braylin is simply STUDYING. She studies the people and the situation before she 

opens up to new people and let's her guard down (which reminds me of somebody I know! ;)

AND WHEN SHE DOES:

*She smiles the most eye catching smile

*She can be so silly and giggle at anything

*She's BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

*She can become a BIT of a showoff in a small crowd of people

*She copy cats words

*She sneaks out the doggy door with Fibi (hairy sister and bestie) and RUNS from Momma

* She can tell you, "Poop" and point to her tummy before she poops!

*She can THROW A FIT and throw herself on the ground (not too proud of this)

OF COURSE SHE'S A PERFECT ANGEL

AND WE CHERISH EVERY GROWING MOMENT.

WHAT DID WE EVER DO WITHOUT HER.

My Daddy LOVES this picture!

 *Braylin LOVES Winnie the Pooh and celebrates loudly when her DVD is turned on. 

*She LOVES fruit

* Braylin was hospitalized for 2 nights recently with RSV but thank God made a fast recovery

*She has also had reoccurring ear infections that have caused much grief, BUT she will

be getting tubes in a couple weeks. A CURE ALL, we hope!

*She weighs about 21 pounds

*She still sleeps with Momma and Daddy (no comments please!)

*She still drinks a morning and night bottle (no comments please!)

*She gives the sweetest kisses!

*She blows the cutest kisses!

*She loves to play peek-a-boo

*She can high-five

THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS IN MY VOCABULARY.

THANK YOU, GOD FOR MY PRECIOUS.

Before you were born, I dreamed of you, I imagined you, I prayed for you.
Now that you’re here I hope for you, I love you and I thank God for you.

Tiaras and things and butterfly wings, that’s what little girls are made of

You are my Sunshine...

"I'll go with you, Sug"

She has proved she MAY be a little scared of heights!
