...oh baby...

I CANNOT WAIT TO HOLD YOU!!!
;)

...AGAIN...

I know that this is all I post about is Braylie, but she is pretty much my life, so.. here it goes AGAIN!!

If we are home during her morning snack.. she will usually take it and go sit here to eat it and watch out the window and CHILL!
or here to watch cartoons if Mom is upstairs..

she has to do everything on her own.. she after eating yogurt... her face usually looks like this..

She sits in this little chair and cuddles up with the blankets and could be entertained for hours, pulling them over her head, putting them on her lap, rearranging them, etc.

She BEGS to play in the sink.. I don't get it.. anytime she hears the water running, she has to get in..

I {heart} you!!

Braylie LOOOOVES M&M's.. I maybe let her have them for breakfast... I am such a good MOM!

Valentine's Day isn't complete without these:

My husband is the best.. He made them himself!
And these for him:

haha.. my pan looks horrible.. it is clean, PROMISE.. just well used! And.. look at that belly.. YIKES!

Sending LOVE your way...

a few pictures of my favorite little person, who isn't so little anymore..

;(

this is what she does when you tell her to "SMILE"--quite hilarious!
her new hair cut/do

just about the only thing that she will sit still for....
eating popcorn with Dad and watching football
***I got her some alphabet flashcards to start helping her learn the alphabet.
Yes.. I know she is young, but she is such a sponge.. I figured it wouldn't hurt to starting trying to teach her!
she recognizes all the 3 letter words/pictures and can say them! ball, hat, cat, dog, etc
***she does the cutest little mumble thing with her tounge. I LOVE IT and can't really explain what she does and can't get her to do it on camera, of course!
*** I took her to her 18 month check up.
She is a whopping 21 pounds--7th percentile
and 60th percentile for height!
I think she must be HOLLOW and have her Dad's metabolism.
Thank goodness!

Christmas

OuR ChRiStMaS 2010

We started Christmas on Christmas Eve at my Dad's..
had some fAmOuS cOcOa and tOaSt
&
opened presents
Dad gave us $$$$$ for our house..
Brandon and I can both think of about a hundred different things to do with it! :)
Thanks Dad!

Then we headed to my Mom's..

curious George at it again...waitin for the excitement..

the nativity... or an attempt anyway! We had some issues keeping costumes on--or even putting them on and having any order at all!

PJ's and THE slippers that my MOST AMAZING mom in the world made for all of us!

******

Christmas morning
Brandon and I have argued both years over Santa gifts being wrapped or not.. he won this year.. kind of... This Santa should have followed HER instinct...she would have had funner if it was NOT wrapped..

Bray was more into Santa's cookies and milk....

and sitting on the presents...
the bows....
AND....eating fruit snacks with Tayah!!
FINALLY....

and look how SPOILED I AM!!!!!
I couldn't believe my eyes!
My mother went above and beyond as USUAL and spoiled the heck out of us!
I am SO STINKIN EXCITED!
I was saving my money to get one of these!

a little more...
gettin a little sleepy!

Goldsberry Christmas
Braylie LOVES all the attention she gets from all her cousins...

this was the cutest thing.. ABOVE...Braylie went and laid next to Nick and would copy him lifting her head and looking at him and giggle & REPEAT..
Zach was not so much loving Braylie laying all over him! BELOW.LOL! I think she probably was getting tired!

pants from Grandma...on the head...

The guys in their new jackets.

We, of course, had tons of fun with family, ate too much, and enjoyed our time off.
It is always sad to see such a fun day end, but grateful for the wonderful blessings we have!!
