weekend

Typical weekend with the family :) Can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can be outside and go to the wineries with the kids.

Ryan's mom was able to come from Arizona to meet Brielle :)

first bath

First bath was a success :) Not a single cry. I hope she stays likes this and always enjoys bath time. It makes things so much easier. Ryan even got a few smiles out of her when I was prepping the bath. I know she is only 4 weeks old, but the smiles were definitely in reaction to the noises/faces he was making to her.

this little girl has so much hair! takes a little while to make sure we got all the soap out of it, but she was patient with us thankfully.

adorable profile. look at that nose. <3

3 week update

Brielle loves her play mat. She will lay there and just look in the mirror on it. Riley has been great with her so far. He doesn't usually pay too much attention to her, but now that we started putting her on the ground on the mat, he comes over and lays down with her.

Our little peanut is growing like a weed. She is now 8 lb 6 oz, see that belly!? :)

Happy Valentine's Day :)

gas smiles

Brielle is 2 weeks old. We had her 2 week appointment this week and she is finally gaining weight! She went from 6 lbs 7 oz to 7 lbs 4 oz in just one week.  I am so happy and can finally relax and not worry about her weight.  


When she is sleeping she smiles constantly. I can't wait until she has real smiles. These are a couple I caught on my phone. Since her favorite place to sleep is in my arms, it's hard for me to grab the actual camera. 

1 week old.

cuteness overload. here are some pictures from Brielle's 1 week photo shoot last week thanks to aunt katie :)

sweet evan

Life has been busy lately!! Three weeks ago today, I became an aunt for the second time. Evan Graeme was born on December 15 and was 9 lbs 2 oz. I don't know how KT carries these big boys! Evan Graeme is the sweetest, most laid back baby. Thank goodness since they have their hands full already with Colin. :) Hard to believe they are a family of four now! I love both these boys SO MUCH and am so happy they live close by and I can see them whenever my heart desires.
