9 Months

It's crazy to think that this little girl has been out of my belly longer then she was in it. 

9 months goes by a heck of a lot quicker not being pregnant. 

She is crazy as ever! 

I have no idea where she would possibly get that from. 

She is discovering other little kids, and loves them. 

She can go from her belly to her feet in .2 seconds.

She can tell you what a monkey says. 

She doesn't have a shy bone in her. 

She copies every little thing we do. 

She says "Dada" and "Uh Oh" 

She has said "Mama" once. I'm convinced she thinks it's a game. 

I'll ask her to say "Mama" and she immediately replies with "Dada"...

and then laughs.  

It's getting to be so hard to get monthly pictures of her. She doesn't hold still longer then 2 seconds. By the time I sit her on the floor and grab my camera is has already stood up and walked away. She's a quick one. 

She tipping the scales at 18lbs. 

She's in the 50th percentile for weight, 

40th for her height, 

and 70th for her noggin. 
So in other words, she's top heavy. 

No wonder I always have to cut her shirts to get them over her head. 

I seriously can't wait for Christmas this year. 
She loves all the Christmas lights. 
We drove through Layton park and she hung out the window squealing at all the lights and when we got to the end she actually started crying. So, needless to say we went back through again. 

She is totally an outside child. She doesn't care if it's freezing cold she still wants to go out and play. 

Apparently this Santa was really creepy and she hated him. 

He even just waived to her and she started screaming. 

Drama. Queen. 

Aunt Mimi came home for Christmas!!! 

Bee wasn't to sure what to think, 

but they will be BFF's before she leaves. 

This chick is going to be so confused on what her name really is. 

I think everyone calls her something different. 

Trevor has a new name her weekly, I swear, but the usuals are Salamander and Sister. He comes up with some pretty funny ones. 

I call her Bee, cause those her initials, Brecklyn Edyth Eschler. 

Grandpa and Grandma Eschler call her Wrigley. That one explains itself. 

Granny and papa call her Lou and Baby girl. 

And even the little 3 year old boy that I watch has a nick name for her. He calls her Breckie. 

She's going to have no idea what her name actually is. 

8 months and on the go

This chick is the freaking energizer bunny these days. 

She just keeps going....

And going.....

And going.....

I can't complain though, she is quite the entertainment now that she is walking. 

Yes, full on walking at 8 Months. 

I was caught off guard by that to. 

She cruises like it's no big deal. 

Don't mind that she isn't dressed. 

This chick would be naked 24/7 if I'd let her. 

It's so crazy. 

Everyone always says how short she is when she takes off walking until I tell them that she is only 8 months.

That explains it. 

According to our scale she is barely 18 lbs. 

We will find out her exact weight at the Doctors in a few weeks.

She is still a FANTASTIC sleeper. 

Seriously, I don't know how we got blessed with that nice little trait. 

I couldn't tell you the last time I got up in the middle of the night with her. 

If we were guaranteed that our next kid would be as easy going as Brecklyn is i would be having another one right now. 

Yes Trevor it's true. Now get back up in your chair after reading that one. :)

She has never been the fussy, no sleep, cranky type of baby. 

Although, she is very, VERY busy. 

She has discovered how to shake her booty. 

She find herself hilarious. 

Church is so entertaining with her. 

She will be in her own world playing and once they start playing a song she busts out dancing. 

Anytime she hears music she has to stop and dance. 

She has a huge fear of animals.

Which is fine with us since we both hate animals. 

Although, my mom would say differently. 

I was always the kid bringing home all the stray animals that I found on my way home from school.

So glad that won't be Brecklyn. 

She tore apart pretty much every DVD we own and as she picked up the Little Rascals case she saw a huge dog on the cover.  It brought her to tears every time she looked at it. 

She loves to play peek-a-boo. 

She discovered the light switch in her bedroom. 

I thought she was taking a nap one afternoon till I saw lights flickering in her room... 

She finally has enough hair for a pony tail

You see that little thing??

She is such a water baby that we enrolled her in swimming lessons. 

She LOVES them. 

Every time we walk through the door to the swimming pool she starts squealing. 

She helps herself to anything these days. 

We went to the zoo lights the other night with a group of friends and she saw Santa. 

She didn't mind him until he started tickling her feet and gettin' all up in her grill, then she lost it. 

I was telling Trevor the other day how much Brecklyn is starting to act like us. Trevor will tackle me down and start to wrestle and Brecklyn just smiles from ear to ear... Then we go after her and she can't even contain herself. I watch a little 3 year old boy during the day and literally Brecklyn will tackle him down for his food. The other day she practically body slammed him and then attempted to take his PP&J sandwich. She is such good entertainment these days.
