An update on Berkeley

• Berkeley will be one in just over two short weeks. We just got her shutterfly book in the mail today. We make one for each kid on their birthday and I love it, but it is SO MUCH work! Anyway, it was crazy to look back at how much she has changed, yet, how much she is still the same little baby! Some things about Berkeley right now:
• She is developing her own little attitude and personality and she is a little sassy. She knows what she wants and she goes for it.
• She loves to pull Cheyenne's hair. If she gets the chance, she doesn't let it pass her by.
• She knows how to fake cry and totally tries to get Cheyenne in trouble. Cheyenne is always poking, pinching and picking on Berkeley, but usually Berks just takes it. However, if she sees me watching, she will totally do this whole cry face that is so fake and stops if I don't get mad at Cheyenne. If I do get mad at Cheyenne, she does it more to make it more dramatic. It is crazy how she has already figured that out!
• She is so snuggly sometimes, especially when she just wakes up.
• She is still nursing several times a day, but not for very long periods at a time. The longest is the first in the morning. And she usually spits it back up shortly after on my face, in my mouth or all over me somewhere while I am sleeping.
• She loves to put her hands on the ground with her legs straight and look upside down between her legs.
• She is always trying to play in the toilet
• I can always tell when she is hungry, because she goes under the kitchen table to look for food to eat.
• She loves to say, "Hi" and it is pretty much the cutest thing ever. She always holds the phone to her ear and says, "Hi."
• She can also say "Mama" and "Dada" and when I say shoe, she says "Shhhhhh"
• She LOVES Jeff. She gets so excited to see him when he gets home and she wants him to hold her. I don't remember Cheyenne ever reaching for Jeff when I was holding her, I swear she always preferred me, but I think Berkeley mostly prefers Jeff unless she is hungry.
• She gets so excited to see Cheyenne in the morning. Usually she will be in bed with me (I get her in the morning to nurse her), and when Cheyenne comes in she smiles and gets so excited.
• She loves to bounce on my bed, holding the railings looking at the mirror when she wakes up.
• She can stand up and sit down easily without holding anything, but hasn't taken any steps yet and doesn't seem very close. She of course cruises along the furniture though.
• She does this adorable puppy dog breathing thing through her nose that I love. It is too hard to explain so I need to get it on video.
• She is a pretty good eater and will eat most everything, but she gets way more sugar than I let Cheyenne have, so I hope she stays a good eater.
• She hasn't learned any of the sign language yet. We have been working on milk, more, all finished and eat, but nothing yet.
• She has 8 teeth and I think some more are close, because she has been drooling like crazy.
• She still sucks her thumb a lot, but not as much as a few months ago. Now, it is just mostly when she is tired or nervous.
• She will play with Cheyenne in the playroom without me in there for a good 30-45 minutes. Dream come true!
• Her hair pretty much fits in piggie tails now!
• She loves balls and often carries a golf ball around with her all day.
• I LOVE her!!!
