Cannon Beach

Mothers Day weekend we headed to Cannon Beach to soak up some sun. We love living close enough to the coast to take day trips with our girl. And she seems to be a fan too. 

Next time maybe we will have a hat that actually fits her...

Easter

Giggles

4 Months Old

Here are some recent shots of our growing girl. At her appointment last week the scales showed that she is indeed chunking up. She went from being in the 30th percentile for everything but her head (thanks daddy) to being in the 75th for height and head and 45th for weight. Keep those rolls coming! Ive been waiting patiently for more chunk and I just can't get enough of it!

Brielles 3rd month in cell phone pictures

Here are my top 5 fave pictures taken over past few weeks. Three of which were taken on the same day (oh well). Time seems to be flying by and each day Brielle seems to be doing something new. Here are some updates....

She loves to eat her hands, they are pretty much the best thing ever

She still loves the bath and as long as it stays warm she could play in there forever

She is quite smiley and just this week had her first full on giggle which she rightfully saved for her daddy

She LOVES her daddy the second he comes home she is all smiles

She is rolling over, holding her head up, and getting stronger and stronger

She loves reading her animal book, playing with rattles, and her lamb puppet

She's getting more and more fun with each day!

Cute girl in the mirror

Brielle's morning routine involves a diaper change, feeding, then an hour of uninterrupted playtime. She wakes up every morning so happy and full of smiles. She lays on the couch and looks out the bright window, kicks her feet, and makes her adorable little noises all while watching the Today show with mom. It makes getting out of bed everyday worth it. After playtime is usually when we make our way to the bathroom for me to wash my face and maybe make myself look not so "hi, I have a baby and yes I sometimes shower" ish. Well just last week we got Brielle a Bumbo, so now rather than sitting in her bouncer I put her up on the counter (don't stress I never walk away while she's up there). I found that she adores the little girl in the mirror. She smiles and giggles and the fun morning continues. I just can't get enough of her. Its definitely become a new step in our routine.

Brielle's Blessing

Brielle's blessing day was a special one. Even though Brielle was fighting her first cold it went perfect; no episodes of any sort in her beautiful white dress! We were lucky to be surrounded by our wonderful families who traveled to Portland to share in her special day. Im so thankful for the men who were able to participate in her blessing. Most importantly I am thankful Brielle has such an amazing daddy.
