Getting closer by the day

This is a "don't touch" but she sneaks away and does it anyway :)
Getting closer by the day ... Bray-Lynne will take a few steps towards each of us but usually only if we have a 'bribe'. One day we used chocolate pudding, another day it was Starburst candy, sometimes it's toys, a drink or snack. She thinks she's pretty funny when she's walking. She will giggle (a little 'hehehehe') all the way back and forth. She also walks somewhat sideways which is what she's doing in this picture. Brandyn and I get a kick out of trying to teach her to walk; we're usually giggling just as much as she is.

Bray-Lynne is quite the talker and already has a good sized vocabulary. She says many things and is learning how to point or motion to things that she wants. More recently she has started saying "mommy" very clearly...it's about time! :) She knows sign language for "more" but I haven't taught her anything else because she'd rather just learn the actual word that sign it. She is completely on whole milk and drinks everything via sippy cup. No more 'ba-ba's! She has a sippy cup that I use for nap times & bedtime that is similar to a bottle nipple but not really ;) Bray now has a total of TEN teeth ... yes, you heard me right ... that's TEN! I am pretty proud of that because I think it's a lot for a 14 month old. She has 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom and her 'baby molars' on the top. She doesn't have canine teeth yet; instead she got the molars first.

Getting closer by the day ... I know it doesn't seem like it but we ARE getting closer to spring. We are ready to see things turning green ... I think there is grass under that snow right?!
