Typical Second Child

Poor Brielle, girl hardly ever gets things posted on here, so Im back to post a video of my sweet girl playing with her dolls. She did have them standing up and was "showing them how to dance," but by the time I got the camera that was over. This girl loves her "babies" and "Lella" (Cinderella).

So Sweet

Kurt is out of town on business this week. Its the first time in six months that he's been away so I wasn't sure how the kids would handle it. Praise God, its been a great week. No crazy emotions for me or the kids. Video chats twice a day have been a special treat. Last night after we got home from our trunk or treat we saw Daddy for a few minutes. He showed the kids the snow where he's at and had them "taste" it. What a great, fun daddy he is, the kids adore him, as you can see in the way Bri looks at him. So sweet.

Brielle- 18 Months

My little girl is 18 months old! She weighs in at 26 pounds (75%) and is 34 3/4 inches tall (95%). She is right on track with all her development. Her favorite foods are beans and bananas, that makes me laugh out loud. Just like her brother at this age, it was like pulling teeth to get her to smile for these pictures. The trick that finally did it, I put fruit snacks up under her shirt, which made her giggle (you can see it in the top two pictures). She is a true delight in our lives.

Fire Station Fun

 We were privileged to visit our friend, Mr. Metro, at his fire station yesterday. He gave us a tour of the station (including a kitchen that made me drool over its amenities). At the end of the tour, Wes got to "drive" the truck, honk the horn and even spray the water, which he said "was so cool".
