5 months

Happy 5 months!! I couldn't pick just one of these pictures. Her scrunchy wide mouth smile and squeals just kill me. My sweet girl is growing up way. too. fast.   Can't wait to see how much she weighs next month. 

father's day

Happy Father's Day to two of the best Dad's I know! I love you both!! We always joked that my Dad got his grey hair from the 3 girls in his life. I'm sure we caused him a lot of stress growing up, but he has always been there for us and still is to this day. Now Ryan is seeing how amazing it is to have a daughter and it's pretty cute watching the love he has for Brielle and vice versa. That girl lights up as soon as daddy walks in the room. She has him wrapped around her fingers already.

pool baby

THANK GOD!!! I might be able to enjoy some time at the pool afterall this summer. Brielle was content as can be in the pool. And I was able to get some sun on my pale body while Ryan pushed her around the float. 

Her suit is a little big, but at 4 months & 15 lbs we have no doubt she'll grow into it quickly.  :)

Momma's Day

Mother's Day has a whole new meaning now. I always knew my parents would do and did do EVERYTHING possible for me, but now I appreciate them so much more. I love you Mom!

Mother's Day 2012 xoxo Love this little girl that made me a momma.  

so much love in this picture :)

love.

I go back to work in just a few days. Brielle keeps me busy during the day but I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's going to be hard going back to work and not spending every minute of every day with this sweet face.

6 weeks....a week late

We made it thru the first 6 weeks! Looking back at pictures, I already miss how small she was when she was born. We go for her 2 month check-up soon and I can't wait to see how much she weighs.  She used to be skinny minny but now she has her baby rolls and I love them! Brielle is really starting to change by the day.  


starting to smile more and more...

her head is getting really strong thanks to tummy time...

and she ROLLED OVER from tummy to back for the first time. I think it scared her because she started crying (ie: screaming) right after, poor thing. She has only rolled over once, but it's still going in the baby book. I was taking pictures of her at the time so I just happened to catch it on camera.

i can take pictures of thees two all day long :)

DIY closet dividers

I decided to get crafty today while Brielle was taking her daily 2.5 hour nap and make closet organizers for her. So fun!  What you need: wooden letter O's, scrapbook paper, paint, mod podge, knife (box cutter, blade, etc) & numeric stickers. I was going to paint one side of the "O" and put scrapbook paper on the other, but I loved the patterns I got so much I decided to do scrapbook paper on both sides. Just mod podge the wooden "O"s onto the scrapbook paper then take the box cutter and trace around it to cut it out. Do that to both sides then top with mod podge. Paint the edges & add your stickers. :)
