Dear Brinley,

You're getting to be such a fun age.  You're interactive,  vibrant,  bubbly, happy,  and excited about everything.  You continue to bring joy to everyone you encounter. Your personality is developing more and I can see you have clear likes and dislikes. You hate banana flavored things but you love fresh bananas and banana baby food.  You hate having your clothes changed but you love long sleeves because you can play with them.

I love imagining the person you're going to be.  I hope you keep this vivacious personality you have.  I hope you make friends easily and that you're a good friend to everyone you meet.  I hope you'll be a shining example to your peers of love,  happiness, honesty,  and optimism. I love the way you reach for your brother when you're upset.  I hope y'alls relationship stays like this.  The other day you woke up early, I brought you to my bed where michael was already sleeping and you fussed and tossed and turned and reached for Michael until I laid you next to him at which point you grabbed his hand in yours.  Immediately your eyes started fluttering closed.  My heart was bursting with love and appreciation for y'alls love.

You are such a joy, my Brinley Bear.

Love,

Your mama
