Today was fun.  Britain got her first coat.  :) Thank you TJ Maxx.  We went to three stores and tried on four coats.  Britain kinda threw a fit by the end, she was really sick of the phrase: "Britain, Arm!"  As I'm sure my dad could have guessed, we ended up buying the first one we tried on.  It is truly not my favorite... but that's okay, it was pretty obvious that it was Britain's favorite.  I love that my beautiful daughter is learning how to communicate and express her preferences.

After getting the coat we went over to Deseret Book to browse around and check out some Shadow Mountain titles from the in store employee library.  Brandon and I are going to read Fablehaven :) (Brandon is wanting to watch that publishing company for internships, but that is not the story that I am trying to tell.) 

Aaaaanyway...

Britain was being super cute while we window shopped.  She started poking her tummy and each time she poked she said be-be.  I finally recognized what she was saying! She learned that she is my Baby! It was so fun! She said it for about five minutes over and over but it never got old. 

Then when she finished practicing that word Brandon said "Britain, say Britain!" and she tried really hard.  It sounded a lot closer to "Ti-Tin" but it was super cute too.  She is finally learning to talk!  

When we got home Brandon sat down and said "Britain, can you get me the x-box controller?" and she said, "no."  That was my favorite moment!!! (Just kidding, but still funny.)

She is learning so much.  Yesterday she put herself to bed by making the "tired" sign and walking into her bedroom while she did it. Then she got really excited when we knew what she wanted.  It was awesome.  And super cute.  I didn't think she would even remember that sign because we only practiced it for two days a few weeks ago, before we decided she wasn't understanding it.  It was neat to realize that my baby is so receptive to knowledge, she is such a sponge.  I am so grateful for her mind and her ability to learn.  I get so much joy from watching her grow.  

Sorry for the lack of pictures.  I'll get some up soon when we make it outside to play in the snow, we didn't play outside today because she had no coat.  :) Now we won't have any excuses so we will share our fun times soon.  Love you all.
