Our little ham!

Well yesterday Brie spent some time at the mall getting a family portrait with her cousins Christian and Brandon. I think we gave the photographer a run for her money. She did an excellent job and got great photos of the three kids, but it was not without great effort. Between Brie running away and Brandon crawling away and then spitting up all over himself and the backdrop it is amazing we got any good photos.

Recently we discovered that Brie loves to be outside. On Monday we spent the day in Muncy doing home inspections and mortgage stuff and Brie spent her entire day walking around the yard of our house. She loved it. In fact the next day she spent much of her afternoon pointing out the screen door and fussing until we finally went outside. It is difficult to find a place to take her to play outside right now. The complex we live in recently sprayed all of the grass with a pesticides and has signs saying to keep kids off the grass. How awful. The same thing has happened at the local park. The only place I am comfortable letting her run around is in the play area. It is pretty ironic that a park has signs up to keep kids off the grass because of chemicals. And the we wonder why so many kids are obese. They cannot even play in the park!

On an eating front, Brie has been doing better. She did have two days where she vomited entire bottles again. One on Monday night and then again this morning. She does have a little cough and we think that is to blame, but overall she does not seem to be affected by it. This morning I think there was just to much in her little tummy. She ate about 10 bites of my rice krispies, about 10 blueberries, an entire nutragrain bar and some goldfish all before her morning nap. She then drank 5 oz although not with out protest for the last few oz. Well I guess the protest was for good reason because a few minutes later she revisited most of her breakfast. It is so hard to tell if she is just being stubborn or if she is full.

Brie recently hit 18 lbs! She is growing taller as well. Many of her 6-9 month sleepers are getting small. Hopefully she will be able to wear her 12 months clothes for summer. I did get a good deal on some summer stuff off of ebay for her. It was a combo of 6-9 and 12 month clothing all for summer. She got about 50 outfits for $50 including socks, 2 bathing suits
(she now has 4 for the summer), and hair accessories.
