things that we love about brielle.

she is getting the cutest chunky cheeks. this week bobby and i have noticed that her cheeks are getting super chubby. i cant help but kiss them every chance i get!

she is always super alert. always has been, even when she was first born. i love watching those big, wide, blue eyes take in everything.

she loves having her legs in the air. sometimes i will get her out of her crib to find that she has pulled her legs out of her leg holes and is curled up indian style inside her pj's.

all her clothes are too big for her. even though she is gaining weight her clothes and headbands are still a little to big for her. it cracks us up when her bows slide down her cute little head. the best part about her clothes being too big is that we forget how small she actually is and get reminded of how cute and tiny she is when we change her. she looks so funny! haha

she giggles in her sleep. yeah, yeah. we know that she doesnt mean too and that it probably isnt even giggling. but this new trick is just about the cutest thing ever!

she has the funniest "pathetic cry". bobby and i always feel bad cause we cant help but laugh when she starts doing her pathetic whimper. of course we stop laughing when she starts exercising those lungs hard core.

she loves to be cuddled. especially when she is overtired, she wants nothing more than to be held. she will cry and cry in her bed and then fall asleep seconds after you start cuddling her.

she has to hold onto something while she is eating. fingers, clothes, bottle, anything. but beware if you give her your finger...your not getting it back till she is done.

she makes the most hilarious faces. we call this first one her zoolander face. its her favorite face to make. seriously she makes it literally everytime she is awake. it cracks us up!

she was a little unsure at first about her first bath but she later decided that she really likes baths. luckily we got a picture of this face before she changed her mind.

she is a pooper. if you have held her for any amount of time you know this is true. sometimes i think that she feels like it is her personal mission in life to immediately dirty any clean diaper that is placed on her.

she also loves to pee whenever her diaper is off. i didnt really anticipate this problem since we werent having a boy but this girl loves it. ridiculous.

she is starting to find her voice. and we totally love to listen to her little babblings.

we love seeing ourselves in her face. like my bump in between her eyebrows that sticks out when she gets mad or my pointy chin and bobbys cute nose and ears.


this cute girl has us completely wrapped around her finger. we love seeing how much she has already changed and grown up just in the past (almost) 4 weeks.

I love reading all about Brielle because 1) she's so adorable, 2)I love the thought of you and Bobby as parents and 3) she reminds me again of what my girls were like at that age.

Lexi peed when we took her diaper off too. We were so unprepared for that one since she was girl. Avery loved the be curled up in a ball and for the first month all she wanted to do was cuddled. Lexi was always awake and alert looking around with her big blue eyes. Lexi always made crazy funny faces. And Avery loves to playing with whatever she can when she eats. Both my girls LOVES bathes.

It just keeps getting better and you just love them more!
