happiness.

yesterday i had a whole list of things that i needed to get done around our little house.
things like laundry and cleaning have been put on the back burner the past few weeks behind moving and vacation.
i was busy working on all the many things that i told myself that i was going to do yesterday when i realized that my baby girl was following me all over our little house like a little puppy, just babbling away.

thats when i decided that the house could stay dirty.
instead, we played all afternoon, took pictures, and had some long over-do mommy and brielle playing time.

she kneels all the time now. she even pulled herself all the way to standing up yesterday but we got so excited and it scared her and then she fell so she hasnt tried again. growing up is rough.

bri turned 8 months old yesterday and i cant believe how grown up she is! she has the sweetest, funniest personality of any kid i have ever met....although i may be slightly bias. 


girl with a goal- and that goal is to push every tv button that she can get her hands on.

i love her.

her favorite trick. she always tilts her head to the side to look at people and it makes her look so dang cute.

giving herself kisses. big slobbery ones.
i can hear her talking in her bed, telling me that she is ready to get up from her nap.
i cant wait to see her.
i am so lucky to be this little girl's mom.

life is good

things have been crazy around here. 
in the past two weeks we have moved and gone on vacation.
may not sound like much, but let me assure you....it was intense. 

but everything is great now. we are loving our new apartment and we had a great time visiting with bobbys family in iowa and illinois. 

heres what it all looked like....

we love our new apartment! look at all that space.

bri loved helping clean out our old place...so many fun things to play with.

fact: this is my favorite picture of all time. i love these two.

grandma wolfe has 2 little dogs that bri absolutely just adored! we were worried that she would be scared of them but she loved them from the start. in fact she doubled her crawling speed while we were there cause she loved to chase them all around. she is so fast now!

bri did great on her first plane ride!

see.....she loves those guys.

we went to adventureland and she got all sweaty.

but she loved watching all of the people walk around there.

we had fun riding the carousel.

and we got spoiled with otter pops.

we also went to the american pickers store. so cool!
so it was busy. but also great. 
but we are ready to spend some time relaxing together in our new apartment. 
life is good. :)
