Brielle at 19 months

Dear Brielle,

At 19 months, you are QUITE the handful.  You are a very, very determined little lady and there's no stopping you when there's something you want.  Your favorite things at the moment are: playing with the controllers for the TV and changing the channels, climbing the bookshelf to get the DVD cases so you can open them and run around with them, open the oven and try to climb in, take things off of the counters, open drawers in search of markers so you can run around and color on things/eat the tops off,  hit/kick Liam to make him cry, carry your sheep stuffed animals ("SHEP! SHEP!") or blankie around and run as far away from me as possible when it's time to get dressed.

You love eating chicken and steak and fish sticks and pizza and pretty much throw everything else I give you.

You love your baba and ask for it every morning and night.  You can hold it yourself now and it makes you happy to do that.

You still LOVE LOVE LOVE shoes.  You squeal with glee when you see new shoes.  You also love mommy's wallet, purses, etc.  You are a girly girl, but a tough one who prefers to play with superheroes and tackle things/people.

You can say "MOMMY!" now, and I love when I come home from work on Saturdays and you come running to the door screaming it.  You still can't say Liam, but you call eli "y-eye y-eye."
