Hiding Spot

Brinley's new hiding spot is behind the kitchen curtain. I saw her as she was crawling behind it one day when the sun wasn't shining in. If I didn't see her crawl behind it (and if she could keep from giggling when someone is looking for her) I don't think I would've been able to find her. Thank goodness for giggles and sunshine.

Not So Pleasant Looking

This is what Brinley looked like when she woke up this morning. Actually, the picture doesn't look near as bad as what it does in person. Her belly, arms legs and all around her little toes are covered in some kind of rash. At first they looked like misquito bits, but then some started getting bigger and bigger. It looks like it could be painful and very uncomfortable but she is her same energetic self. The doc said it is a viral rash and is contagious. Of course, we had a trip planned without her this weekend. Now she gets to tag along.

Haircut!

I had been contemplating cutting Brinley's hair for quite some time now. I had heard people tell me that I should cut it and also people say that I should just let it grow. Well, tonight I finally got brave enough to attempt cutting it. We put Elmo in to help keep her distracted and she did really good for the most part.

I wasn't really sure what I was doing but how hard can it be, right?

Snip! Snip!

This was my attempt at cutting Brinley's hair. I had to try to even it out a few times...

then Alex took over and evened it out.

It doesn't look like we cut a whole lot off, but it does look better!

Alex had been thinking about letting me cut his hair. After tonight, that is no longer an option.

Second Time Around

I am now 20 weeks pregnant and finally took a belly photo. People always say you grow faster with the second pregnancy. Oh my! How true it is!

Trip to the Zoo!

Saturday, we took Brinley to the zoo. When we asked her if she wanted to go see elephants and lions and monkeys she just shook her head and said "no". I then asked if she wanted to go see some bears thinking I would get a different response because most of her favorite books are about bears. I was wrong. Finally, after asking her if she wanted to go see snakes she yells "yeah!"

Brinley's New Potty!

We went to the store to buy Brinley a new potty today. She was so excited about it she wanted to put it together as soon as we got home.

Hopefully she will never try to use this as a hat again.

She carried it to the bathroom and I asked her if she wanted to go potty. She answered yes. And much to my surprise, after she sat down I heard a tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.YEAH BRINLEY!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll see how things go from here.
