Happy Valentine's Day

Brie had a pretty good first Valentine's Day. She spent it at home with mommy and even woke up at 10 pm to spend a few minutes with daddy. She enjoyed all of the cards everyone sent, but was especially fond of the one from Aunt Shelley! She smiles everytime Shrek burps.


Recently we have been getting things ready for Brie's first birthday party. Today we picked up the decorations at Party City. Her party is going to be sesame street. We got lots of decorations so it should be alot of fun. Mommy even practiced making the elmo cake and it turned out pretty good. I cannot believe she is going to be a year old already. It seems like time has flown by. She has changed so much in such a short period of time.







A few days ago we had our first real snow storm. We could not resist the urge to take Brie out for a few minutes to let her play in the snow. She basically just sat there and looked at it. There was less then an inch on the ground, but it was fun anyway. I tried to get her to do a snow angel, but she is a little young for that!





With regards to eating, Brie seems to be doing better. She still enjoys self feeding and is not a fan of the spoon, but will let us get a few bites in as long as she has something she can chew on. Tonight we found that she really loves blueberries. She ate about half a pint of them with dinner. She actually grabbed more blueberries and threw her cheese curl on the floor. She seems to like fruits and veggies which is wonderful. We also tried ham with her last night and she ate a few bites mixed with cheesy potatoes and of course peas. Bottles now are no longer a battle. She has been taking them awake and actually asks for them. Last night she took her bottle and then sat up and smiled. She then played a few minutes on the floor and then crawled over to be picked up. She layed her head down on my chest and went to sleep. I could have cried.
