fun with family

We went to watch Kobe play basketball and got a picture of granny & grandpa and all the kids! We love our family!

Too sweet!

I left to run a couple of errands yesterday so I took Paityn with me and left Briley with Brad. Well, I was a little anxious about it just because Brad likes to sleep right up until he goes to work and Briley has become quite an active baby, crawling around & trying to climb on everything. So, I hurried back home and found this:

Who'd would have thought?! HaHa! sorry the pic is blurry but it was too sweet not to share!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Here's the girls in front of Paityn's very own Charlie Brown Christmas tree! We hope to have it full of special ornaments in the years to come!
And don't you love those outfits? Matching outfits for every occasion - welcome to my world! :-)

Thanksgiving Indian

Here's my Thanksgiving Indian after about 30 minutes of doing some Indian dancing and using her rainstick! Hilarious! You can tell by the hair she was really giving a very energized performance!

I can crawl - on all fours!

. . . and I now have my two bottom front teeth! I LOVE to chew and chew and chew! I've started eating some of those Gerber Graduates finger foods - yummy!


Well, it's that time mom! I can crawl now!

Briley began trying to crawl on all fours last week and yesterday it finally happened. She can crawl at a pretty high rate of speed so here we go! I now have to chase her down to "catch" her and keep her out of things. She hasn't tried to get into the cabinets or things like that yet but boy can she find a tiny piece of paper or dirt! So, here's to some happy chasing! :-)

By the way, I have my FIRST TOOTH!

With all the sickness going on, I almost forgot about telling you about my tooth. Mommy noticed it over the weekend and it finally poked through on Monday,Nov. 12th. I haven't been fussy or anything! Yeah me - (yeah for mom!) :-)



Here I am checking out a metal spoon at the restaurant. Boy, did that feel good in my mouth - much better that those "soft" ones that mom uses!



Now I'm "crawling" around in my car seat. I just don't seem to sit still much these days! :-0

I'm SICK! :-(

Well, I've had my first official illness - I have "croup", you know, that barking cough and wheezy breathing. My wonderful doctor gave me some medicine and mom stayed home with me Thursday & Friday to give me lots of TLC. Here in the pic I am telling my sister all about it. I am talking all the time and mumbling all kids of sounds. I'm saying dada but I'm not sure what that actually means yet! :-0)

Check out the expression on my face - I'm really letting Paityn know about how it felt to be sick! I'm MUCH BETTER today! Thanks mom!
