Brianna update...

I thought I would give an update on some of the things Brianna is up to these days. Mostly for the Texans that don't get to see her...

Brianna had her 6 month appointment today. She is 17 lbs 9 oz and 27.5 inches long. She had two shots today and only cried for a few seconds. She is wearing some 6-9 month clothes but a lot of 12 month clothes already. We can't believe how fast she is growing. She is still primary nursing but is also eating cereal and has now had prunes and sweet potatoes. She likes it all. She is getting her next set of teeth. It seems it's going to be the top two, but we'll see.

Brianna can sit up on her own. In fact, she has sat in the grocery cart like a big girl for two weeks now. We've only had two wipe outs. Once she actually fell asleep in the cart and slumped over. She didn't even wake up when she hit the side of the cart. She went down for a nap as soon as we got home! She still does not like to be on her belly at all. We've been really trying to encourage her tummy time by getting on the floor with her and playing. She can roll over (and did it a bunch a few weeks ago), but really isn't interested in doing so anymore.

She is such a little ham. Wherever we take her she smiles and laughs at everyone. When people talk to her she smiles and then hides her face in our shoulders like she is shy. Then she peeks up and does it all over again. She loves to swing and be tossed around. We think she is going to be a roller coaster rider like her Mom and Dad. She likes her books...to read and to eat and loves her toys...of course. =) When we count we do it in English and Spanish and Grandpa talks to her in Spanish over the phone, which she thinks is funny.

What a joy and a blessing she is in our lives.
