Brianna Version 2.0
Update #1
I cannot beleive the weiner is 2. I know i am late again, but I do not get much computer time these days. On an administrative note, look for new pictures sometime after this weekend, then look for a whole new website scheme sometime in April. Like last year, the pics are going to be culled somewhat, so look at her second year photos before some of them disappear.

Anyhoo, on Saturday Bri had her birthday party. Unfortunately, a lot of people we invited couldn't make it, but a fair amount came. Bri tore into all her presents and occasionally said thank you, but not often. She wasn't a big fan of the cake this year, I think she might have eaten too many doritos first. Everyday since Bri has woken up and said "Birthday?" hee hee.

Update #2
Bri also visted the doctor for her checkup. She is approximately 27 pounds (she didn't want to stay on the scale) and 34" tall. Doc says she's fine and doesn't need a shot until she's 5 or to come back to the doc's (unless she's sick) until she's 3.

On a related note, size 7 shoes fit Bri pretty well now. We are still having a problem finding pants that fit her properly and shirts that are long enough to cover her belly. But hey, summer is coming and she can run around naked for all I care. ;)

Update #3
Okay, the book update. After this month, they only come every three months.

By the end of the 24h month, Bri SHOULD be able to:
*Take off an article of clothing - I find her naked all the time.
*feed a doll - both with milk and a spoon.
*Build a tower of 4 cubes - 10 seems to be her limit.

Will PROBABLY be able to:
*build a tower of 6 cubes - 10.
*Throw a ball overhand - she can catch now too. :)
*Speak and be iunderstood half the time - yes.
*Identify 4 items in a picture by pointing - more than that.
*Identify 1 item in a picture by naming - more than that.

May POSSIBLY be able to:
*Put on an article of clothing - only her socks. She's tried pants and shirts but they give her hassle.

May EVEN be able to:
*Draw a vertical line in imitation - yes. She is trying to draw faces right now.
*Build a tower of 8 cubes - 10.

The only things she can't do are jump and carry on a conversation. Bri might have the words for a conversation, but her attention span definetly isn't there.
