Laughter is Golden

The silent laugher has finally turned up the volume! we went months watching Brylee just open her mouth wide in an attempt to giggle, but now she has mastered the art of laughing. A child's laughter is one of the greatest sounds to me and this video melts my heart each time I watch my daughter be so easily entertained. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and were trying to entertain the kiddo during some of the March Madness games. Apparently bear hugs from a hand puppet are pretty funny.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

No pinches for this cute babe! Brylee really enojoyed playing with the shiney clovers decorating the diningroom table. She had a wonderful day playing with Daddy since he was home for the start of March Madness. Of course, she thought it was pretty funny to pinch (or in her case, hit) Daddy for not wearing green. Hopefully she realizes this abuse is only allowed once a year.

And She's Off!

This morning Brylee finally put together all the pieces and has mastered the art of moving around the room. Of course it helps if she has some motivation such as banana puffs and a remote control, but we are very proud of our little cruiser. Don't worry, we picked up a baby gate today so we can stop her in her tracks before she discovers our stairs. Of course the gate isn't stopping her from going after everything else in the house. Goodbye house decorations...see you in a few years!

My Mommy Made Me Wear It

Brylee is finally starting to catch on to the many headbands I make her wear. Her Mia has been a colporate by making her lots of big and fabulous bows to match all her outfits. This picture says it all, "What on earth is on my head and WHY did you put it there?" Now that she is exploring the world with her hands and mouth she gladly explored the floral explosion on her head by continuously removing her bow from her head and trying to eat the evidence. I might just have to make her start sleeping in them so they become more of a permanent fixture and she leaves them alone. Yes, this may sound mean, but I'm her mother and supposed to torment my child a little...aren't I?
