Brielle is 1



Our little angel turned 1 on February 17. It was a beautiful day. We had lots of family over and enjoyed celebrating this sweet baby in our lives.
I think she is a beauty!


Just a few of the cute faces that showed up at her party! Brielle sure had a lot of help opening her presents!
Sisters - Marissa was so excited all day about Brielle birthday but when everyone got to our house she pretty much broke down. She had a rough time sharing the lime light.
So we gave her the cake and tried to get her to eat it but nope she wasn't interested. And she ended up gagging when we tried. So we gave up but had a really good laugh while we watched her. Later, after dinner we tried again - and sure enough when no one was paying attention - she loved it!
Brielle loves her new wheels!
Unfortunately by Sunday night Brielle was pretty sick. She came down with RSV. It's been one horrible week for her. Her first week of being 1 year old was spent in misery. Poor girl. Finally after 7 days of needing to be held all the time, not eating, coughing like crazy, feeling yucky, she showed us her happy self again! We are so happy she is better.
Ok - so Josh was trying to get a good shot of her doing her new "uh oh" face. It's simply adorable. But this shot isn't so great but if you look close you can see my face is doing it perfectly!
Her we are holding each other. It's basically how we hung out all of last week. Not fun at all. Okay - I guess it is a little bit nice to snuggle with your baby but it's not so nice we she feels so awful.
What I wish I had a picture of.
Brielle is so into books lately. Seriously she brings me books all the time, she hands them to me and then says "uh uh uh", till I pick her up and read. And she has her favorite too. She loves Dr. Suess' The Toothbook. We could read for hours - but it sure makes me sleepy!
She is also just getting so fun. She lets everyone know when she is unhappy - like when she gets something taken away from her by her sister - yeah she screams. Also - she loves to play and be chased by her daddy and brothers. It is so fun to watch. She's a great bootie shaker - loves dancing. And today when JD came home from work, he came into to the kitchen and Brielle says "DA". Awesome!
I LOVE my little Brielle!

RSV? What a way to spend your first week of your 1st year. She is so cute even when she is sick. You must have pretty strong arms Stacy carrying her around all week!! Okay now do a post on your new puppy!
