The CENTER of attention!

The girls just LOVE to play with Briley and Briley just eats it up! I'm so amazed at how well the girls attend to Briley and they are so gentle and careful with her. Briley loves to laugh and give all the girls hugs and slobbery, wet kisses!

My cheerleader!

Here is Paityn getting all "fancied up" for the competition!


Paityn is a base (front left group, on the right)! SMILE!


Both squads took home first place trophies. Good job girls!


Now it's party time. Paityn is dressed in comfy pajama pants and her party hat to go to a dance that was held at the hotel.

"snow" fun!

Here are just a couple pics of Paityn and Chipper having a great time on our ONE snow day for the year! Briley and I were watching warmly from the back door and Chipper did come take a quick break to give Briley a "hello kiss"! He is really a sweet dog. I know Briley can't wait to get hold of all that fur!

Happy Valentines Day!

Here's Paityn after a very long, active sugar day!


And here's my Briley!!!!! All sugared up and still going like the energizer bunny! I'm not sure she's going to take an afternoon nap after the puffy cheetohs, pieces of cupcake, and a whole sucker! :-) Go, Briley, Go!

I'm 10 months old - a few days ago!

Well, what's going on in Briley's world now that she is ten months old? Let's ask her:
I have 3 teeth on the bottom, 2 on the top. I can say mama and dada. I can say hiiiii and bye bye and everything else is pretty much eeeeeeeee! I love to wave, most of the time with both arms flailing around wildly! I look very uncoordinated and just so darn cute! I can crawl at the speed of light but seem to have no intentions of walking in the next 2 years or so! Why walk when I can just plop down and crawl?? I still suck my left thumb for comfort. I still sleep in my crib except for those weekend naps when me, mom, and Paityn snuggle in mom's bed.
Let's see, I am still taking formula from a bottle but drink juice from a sippy cup. We'll probably get rid of the bottles very soon. I eat baby food from a jar and really don't care for table food - not even mashed potatoes - can you believe it when that is my sister's absolute favorite - of course granny's are the best, according to Paityn. Poor mom! I do like an occasional popsicle, the messier the better. My favorite toy is Paityn's new dollhouse and all the goodies inside. I do love my Poky LIttle Puppy, too. I like to read as well as chew on my books - My bath books are my best choice for "reading" right now since they are plastic! And my all time favorite thing to do is - - - play with clothes hangers while mommy is trying to fold laundry. I am such a good helper! Oh, and let's not forget the best part - I still LOVE to snuggle and can sleep just about anywhere as long as mom is holding me.
Things I don't like: peaches, somebody taking something away from me (even if I'm NOT supposed to have it, cold formula/milk, strangers, getting shots or having my blood taken!
