Nuff said.

Happy Birthday Brielle!

My itsy infant daughter baby turned 1 on March 12! ! ! !

It was fun to help her celebrate! My, my how fast a year flies.

We left Saturday evening for a lovely pizza buffet at Gatti Town!

Salad bars are great for babies cuz there's lots of 'bits'. Little grab-able things. Well, I put the plate in front of her, meaning for her to eat the other stuff and I would cut up her pizza. 

Well, she knows how to party--went right for the good stuff!

Brielle seemed indifferent on the carousel, but I think she liked it. 

She was just looking all around trying to take it all in.

Oh the anticipation!

I made a jumbo cupcake for Brie plus minis and regulars for the rest of the party attendees (dada, mama and Hallie). Brielle wasn't shy at all about digging right in!!

Every time I bust out the camera, Hallie asks me to take a picture of her 'funny face'

Yep, I'm ONE year's old!!!

Can you just hear Brielle screaming?

At the end of the night, Hallie was whining/crying because Brielle kept trying to touch her with messy hands. So Hallie's on the edge of her seat crying, 'No No Brielle!!! No TOUUUUUUUCH!!!! Move her!!!' 

Well, if it's not your birthday, I guess you have to make some sort of fuss if you're gonna get any attention.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIELLE!

We ADORE you!

Hallie's Observations

Hallie has been saying some funny things lately...about other people. 

(thanks for the new jammies Grama Bev!)

We were walking through Walmart last week, and Hallie starts squealing and pointing to a tall black guy...I couldn't hear exactly what she was saying, but I was just cringing inside as we approached him. He smiled as Hallie yelled, "He's bawd!  He's bawd!!" We recently have had discussions about bald people.  Also about wrinkly people. She's pointed out on several occasions, quite loudly, that an old person was "bumpy." 

She's such a sweetheart though. She loves her friends, always wanting to gives hugs and kissies. Hallie is such a great big sister too--she and Brielle love to play on the floor and giggle (until someone starts crying). Hallie is learning so much every day and is always making me laugh!

First Steps!

Brielle took her first steps a couple weeks ago, RIGHT before she turned 10 months! Yay Brie!

Here's a video:

Ignore the poor quality--I just grabbed the camera... and when I say "I knew this would happen" I mean: I knew that if she would just take a couple steps, she would be walking within days!

Her last well visit showed that she was at the 14th percentile for wt for age and 33 percentile for ht for age. She's a little bitty baby! I would feel much more safe with a fat baby, but whatcha gonna do? Let's just say we don't spare the butter or french fries!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

May you and your family have a safe, happy, healthy Holiday!

Family Pics

Thanksgiving weekend we took these pics with the fam.

Thanks JoAnna!

Brielle!

So... I thought it was finally appropriate to post Brielle's 6 month pictures now that she's almost.. 9 months old....ahem.

She had a fun photo shoot back in September--Enjoy!

Thanks to Carly, my VERY pregnant friend who clicked the pics!

Still very much an angel baby, we all love her to bits and pieces!!!
