What's she UP to?

Ok, so I've noticed I've posted pics, but haven't really said what's she's up to lately, so here goes:
1) The chair. It's not like its the most comfortable chair, but its "dada's chair." The very minute Sean gets out of it, she makes a b-line for it. Giggling the entire way over there & running so fast she just about wipes out! Her hiding spot is also between the chair & the ottoman. You'll find her fave toys, puzzle pieces, & cups hidden there anytime of day.

2) Allie. Mostly, it's still pronouced "EYE-YA," but occasionally, it sounds more like Allie. Brooklyn is very into where Allie is at all times, offering her a toy & asking her to "come here, eye-ya." Sometimes Allie plays, but her age shows lately.

3) Cuddling- hugs, hugs, & more hugs is what she loves lately, as she also pats us on the back!

4) Mommy- as of 2 days ago, I have become MOM-MEEEE" and no longer "mama." Supercute!!

5) Preschool Prep-Meet the Colors DVD- the first time we saw this video, we were like: what in the world is this brainwashing? SHE LOVES IT. At first she called it 'Purple,' which she now calls it "Colors." Yellow was the first color she said. Every morning when I get her up I pretty much know what the routine will be: a hi mama, followed by a giggle, next we gather up the blankets & bears in her bed & they all come out with her, then big hugs are exchaged where we pat each others back, then we pass by the oragel-a must have to officially make it out of the room- & then we head into the kichen to get her a cup ready while she runs for Daddys' remote control & starts saying "colors!" It's quickly followed by a run to my laptop & yelling for "elmo" on sesame streets' webpage! I wouldn't change a thing! And our girl knows all her rainbow colors + black, white, brown & pink!
6) Outside. We have an outdoor nut! (will this be the thing to get Sean away from the TV??) Yesterday, I asked her to come with me to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Her response- brush teeth outside?
7) smart as a whip!!! Tonight we were reading Dr. Suess ABC's. For letter C the page says Big C little c what begins with C?, the artwork shows a camel upside down on the ceiling (it is a Dr. Suess book don't forget.) She takes the book & rotates it upside down so the camel is now rightside up & says "there mama."
8) Her first 2 words together were "go away." She was repeating me reading a quote from a cat hiding under a chair in "Spot searches for Easter eggs." Her vocabulary continues to grow & grow!
9)We took her outside for a little 1 on 1 basketball game with our neighbor, Lexi, who's 2 mos. older than Brooklyn. Brooklyn loves to dunk the ball, & Lex likes to run away with it! They were so cute playing together & sharing. B is in 18 mos clothes now, & Lex just switched into 3T!!!! I'll have to get a pic of the 2 of them together soon.
10) Now in her forward facing car seat, she kept saying "my muke" over & over. I had no idea what this was, & she's getting frustrated & starts to cry. By the time we got to a stop light, I turned around & told her I had NO IDEA what she talking about, she'll have to show me. So she points to the radio, & says "my muke" one more time. Ahh.....my music!!! Turn on her Disney CD & the tears stop! So much for my Black Eyed Peas!
