WOAH
And She's Done!!

Standing on Her Own!! Crawling!! Tooth Number 2!!

Well, it's been a big week for Brianna. She stood on her own last Sunday, not holding onto a thing. We were so sure this meant she was going to skip crawling. Then she decided to prove us wrong on that. On Thursday night she started to crawl. She still prefers to stand and walk around, but now she'll crawl to a spot where she can stand and go from there. On Wednesday her 2nd tooth came through, on the bottom. So now she has both her bottom front teeth.

Well, that's all on this end. As if that's not enough. Now we're off to buy security gates for the stairs. How quickly that happened.

Reverse Engineer!!!

So it turns out our daughter has a hidden talent. She can take things apart, things she shouldn't be able to. She has taken apart pens and taken caps off of bottles, even childproof caps, don't ask me how because I don't know. Dave's convinced she's going to be a reverse engineer. I don't know what she's going to be when she grows up, but if this is all fluke, it's a heck of a lot of fluky incidents. And if she actually is smart enough that she's figured out how to do it I'm afraid for Dave and I as she gets older and smarter. We may be in real trouble.

First Tooth!

Well, Brianna finally cut her first tooth night before last. It's very exciting. As soon as it's up far enough to be seen with a camera I'll post a picture. She's getting stronger in her standing everyday. And she now mimicks Patrick, whenever she sees or hears him she starts going "ow, ow". It's so cute. Anyhow nothing else new. I'll talk to you all later.

Stay there! Good dog!

Hey, is that a camera?

She takes a break to hug the couch.

Brianna's first crack at feeding herself. Doesn't it look like fun?

Hello All!!

So not much has happened this week, our weather is quite a bit cooler than I'd normally like for this time of year, but oh well. Brianna was 9 months old yesterday, unreal!! She went in for her 9 month check up and all is good. I get to go out tonight with a couple girls on the block, very exciting. Dave and Brianna will have some good quality time together, as he's gone all week to Grande Prairie.

Our "Get Well" wishes go out to Scott, sorry to hear about your arm! We hope you have a speedy recovery.

Well, like I said, not much happening. I'll update you next week. Enjoy this weeks pics of Brianna.

Doesn't she look happy?

Standing and dancing! Her new favorite thing to do!

We're Back!!

Ok, so it's been forever since I have updated our blog. I've been such a slacker. But I promise I'll keep it up at least weekly from now on. So here's what's new. Not much. (haha) We went to Lake Diefenbaker for a week, it was nice and relaxing, but wow it was HOT, over 40 with humidex. Absolutely crazy. Brianna didn't like it much, she couldn't sleep it was so hot. So we went back to the farm a couple of days early, which was ok because it gave Karielle and I more time to prepare for Gord and Laura's surprise 15th Anniversary party. The party went off without a hitch. A good amount of people showed up, enough for it to be a decent party but not so many that they couldn't get a good visit in with everyone.

Brianna's growing up so fast. She's pulling herself up standing on furniture and walking around it, unbelievable. She started clapping her hands and she's saying mama and dada all the time now. It's amazing to watch her grow and change into this little person.

We went to Bow Island to visit Liane, Randy and Norah. We had a great visit, Norah's so grown up now, amazing to think that Brianna will be there in less than a year and a half (Norah's 2). We really miss them but the trip sure showed us what a good move this was for us, because they are the only people down there that mean anything to us and vice versa. Hard to believe we have more friends here in 6 months than we did in Taber in 5 1/2-6 years.

We have a GREAT bunch of neighbors here. There are 3 other babies within 4 houses, all boys (much to Dave's dismay). Brianna's the youngest by a couple of months, Andrew will be 1 in September, Jackson was 1 in May, and Joel will be 1 at the end of September-beginning of October, I'm not totally sure of his birthday. We have mommies and me every Wednesday, which is great, our kids get to play with eachother and us moms get to socialize with adults. What a novel concept!!!

Anyhow, that's about it. I'm posting some more recent pics of Brianna. Enjoy!
