That Magnificent Girl and Her Flying Machines

The most frequently heard word in our house is currently "hopter," (helicopter) followed closely over the last couple of days by "airpane" (airplane). Brynlee is obsessed! It all started at Christmas time when my parents got all of the boys micro remote control helicopters. She was scared of them at first which moved into this crazy fascination. She has seen the "real thing" a few times and continues to be amazed. She begs to see Jordan's helicopter and gets a real kick out of seeing Grandpa's RC model on the webcam and in person. She really gets a kick out of watching the video of herself at Christmas watching the helicopter. It causes problems when we want to actually use the camera. She really thinks birds and kites are amazing too. Maybe we have a future pilot on our hands. Here are some pics from flying kites today. Jordan looks a little like Mr. Rogers with his slacks still on from clinic with tennies and a sweater :)

She is also getting really good at identifying all of her colors and counts to 8 quite well, making it to 10 on occasion. She is saying "I love you" so cute. It is so fun to hear her try to say new words and we find it hillarious how she is constantly labeling things including messes she has just made.
She recently turned 18 months old. At her appointment she weighed a whopping 21 lbs 10 oz putting her in the 13th percentile! We almost had a party to celebrate her double digits! She also measured at 32 1/4 inches long putting her at 68th percentile for height. Jordan is getting nervous :). She has been sick over the last day or so, but has been such a trooper! We are so lucky to have such a sweetheart! Here's a fun video of her dance moves. She loves to be dizzy! Thanks for the new outfit Gramie!



Some of her other obsessions have been the color yellow (she will tell you its her favorite), nursery, Josh, Sam, and Libby (our friends and neighbors), and Chelle who is on a mimish (mission).


Of course she loves the rest of our families requesting to talk to Ty, Ren, Haws, or whomever she has made particular mention of that day and frequently brings me the webcam so we can talk to 'Grampa'.

Life otherwise has been marching on! Excited for March to be over! Still not much in the way of lookers on our house. We really will sell it to any of you :)! It would be a fabulous investment property! I still don't know what I'm doing while Jordan does his clerkships. We appreciate the offers we've had for help! This will be a challenging year, but the end is in sight! Hooray!

I can't believe how big she is. Such a cutie! Sounds like she is quite the smart girl with all her words. We think Aliyah speaks Chinese because it mostly is gibberish. Good luck with the house.
