She scoots

It's true, Brinkley is finally mobile!!  Last Sunday she finally figured out how to get around.  She scoots so cute-like.  She's getting really good at it too.  In fact she's getting so good it's almost a real crawl.  It's so fun to watch her scoot her tiny body all over the floor.  She is also pulling herself up to standing on things.  We thought she'd never be able too cause she's got such skinny legs, but she's doing it.  It's so awesome.  She is also the cheesiest baby ever.  The last couple days she has had so much fun grinning at other people and scrunching her face all up and breathing hard.  It's so funny.  She will also dance on command now, which is so fun, and she's pointing at things.  Her top two teeth are also coming in, so she's been mucho fussy.  Oh, and I finally got her nine month pictures done; which it turns out are going to be ten month pictures because I'm a procrastinator.  Anyway, she has been so much fun lately and we love her to death, and we are also realizing that she and Ady are going to be fighters.  They already fight over like every toy, and Brinkley is not as passive as we thought she'd be.  Oh well, I guess that's what sister are supposed to do.

Is it just me, or is Ol' McDonald a little crazy?

So, one of Ady's favorite songs right now is Ol' McDonald had a farm.  She calls it "i o i o" which is obviously really cute.  But lately the farmer has had some pretty weird things on his farm.  The other night at bed time she ask Zack to sing it (and when she asks for it she also tells us what animal to sing about on the farm).  First she ask for an octopus, and told us it says "blolel blolel" (with a funky tongue thing).  And we thought that was so funny, because like a farmer would have an octopus.  But then she ask for it again, only this time he had a cookie, and the cookie says "yum yum".  Next he had a princess that says "pretty pretty".  And my all time favorite, he had a bucket on his farm that said "pick pick".  I don't even know where she gets this stuff from.  

    Ol McDonald had a farm, e i e i o

    And on this farm he had a bucket, e i e i o

    With a pick pick here and pick pick there

    Here a pick, there a pick, everywhere a pick pick

   Ol McDonald had a farm, e i e i o

I get the princess saying pretty and the cookies saying yum, but I'm just not sure why the bucket says pick.  If you ask me, it sounds like Ol' McDonald is a little tipsy.  Ady is so funny, we just can't get enough of her.

Also, lately she likes to tell me I'm cute.  At first I thought it was so cute and sweet, but now I know why.  She only likes to tell me that after she has done or said something naughty.  Like she'll say something mean to me and I'll say "what?" (you know, in the tone of voice so she knows she's done something wrong).  And instead of repeating herself she looks and me and says so sweetly, "you're cute mom".  What a stinker.
