Talking up a storm

Brooklyn is a very active 16 month old and when I think about Kennedy at this age they are not the same.  Brooklyn gets into everything and I mean everything.  Here are a list of what she is doing now:
-She is talking all the time and says everything you say.  She loves saying Where's daddy?  and Pee pee
-I bought her a little potty and she loves it.  She loves the water in the toilet so when Kennedy is going potty I place her on her potty and the entire time she says pee pee, pee pee....
-She loves to eat.  The only thing she will not eat is mashed potatoes.  She loves veggies and especially her new snack (fruit snack)
-What I cherish is that I was reading my baby book and the first sentence I said was "see the light".  Well Brooklyn loves to say light.  She loves looking up and saying light.  I thought this was so neat.
-She loves music she dances all the time.  And she now loves to hear Dora when she comes on.  She is not very interested in television but she will start dancing and say D-D-Dora.
-She loves to read her books especially anything with a doggie.
-She hears me counting to her sister 1-2-3 she now can say them. 
-She is now in 24month/2T clothing, size 6 shoe, and size 5 diaper.  She is in the 90% of height and 50% in weight.  She is so much taller and weighs more than Kennedy did at this age. 
-She also loves her paci and I am trying to think about when and how to take it.  If anyone reading can help me please give me suggestions.
-She is a mommy's girl and I love it!

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Psalm 127:3 

Christmas Eve at the Jones house

Christmas at the Jones house was so much fun this year.  Kennedy asked everyday when Santa was coming and she is still asking when is he coming back. 
Channing read the Christmas story to the girls before Christmas Eve dinner at Mema Margret's(Channings 87 yr old grandma).  The tradition is to eat a steak meal and it was wonderful.  Channing even made his shrimp dip and it was so good I will share his recipe.  And we also opened gifts from Channing's family. 

Kennedy and Mema opening up her first gift.

All smiles
