Clara and Ethan were so similar in looks and attitude as babies, but not my Brenny.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. She is a very good baby, just very different.
1st off, mommy wanted Brenna's pacifier to be her best friend. It is definitely one of mama's best friends and worked well to comfort Clara and Ethan. Brenna had other ideas. She did NOT like the rubber plug from day 1. So, she is my finger sucker. Yep, she broke me. She sucks her two middle fingers shamelessly, but mainly when she is tired out.

Then there's the reason for her "Brenna Bear" nickname. She has a favorite blanky bear. Actually, she has 2 {it's always good to have a backup ;) }. My other two were never really attached to anything, but their pacifiers. Not Brenna. Brenna's Boo Bear goes with us everywhere. It makes her happy, so in turn, mama's happy and everybody can be happy. :))

She really is a joy and the older 2 love her dearly. Sometimes they love her a little too much. As in, in-her-face and on top of her. But, she is already learning as the baby of the family to make her little presence known and voice be heard. Her shrieks are heard loud and clear when the others get a little to carried away messing with her or taking her toys. Overall, it is fun to watch her grow and able to interact and play with them more and more.

Also, I think she is headed for anger management classes. Most of the time, she is a good-natured baby, content to play and keep herself occupied. BUT, watch out if she gets mad. She has been known to {rather violently} bash her poor little forehead into the floor. Which of course, only proves to make her more upset. Yeah, that is definitely something we are working on. Brenna and her means of self-inflicted torture. Crazy girl!
Then there's her crawl/scoot/jitter bug thing. I don't know what to rightly call it, but it's pretty funny to watch. Brenna would not want to be known as being conventional, so she invented her own way of getting around. She despised being on her belly. She did/does NOT want to stand. No really, when held up to stand her legs would go straight out in front of her! So, she sits and scoots using one arm and sliding her leg along the floor. Don't worry; it doesn't slow her down one little bit! She is quick as lightning! However, mama's thinking that it is about time to figure out this walking thing 'cuz the cold, dirty floor is not so good on the laundry or baby's bottom. I think she is holding out on me. One of these days when she finally decides the time is right, she's just going to hop up and take off and then I am going to be stunned and chasing after her! ;)
She's so full of smiles, ticklish spots, and baby belly laughs. Chubby cherub cheeks. Raven hair and blue eyes with flecks of brown/green. She is such a squishy ball of fun! I love my Brenny girl. She is so unique and special to me already. Can't wait to see the plans that God has for her life!
