B and Her Personality



   I cannot believe that our little Brielle Rose is already 1 year old! It has been such a joy to watch her grow and see her little personality come out. She is definitely her own person and we are amazed at how much she is learning each day. Here are some milestones, "hobbies," birthday pics, and other random pics we wanted to share :)

Disclaimer: The reason she looks kinda sad in most of her B-day pics is because I accidentally smashed her little finger while closing a door like 3 hours before her party :( it was pretty much the worst mommy moment I've had since she was a newborn and I clipped her finger instead of her nail haha. When you hurt your baby everything is wrong in the world!


Getting ready for cake! 


"Oooh, fire! Let me touch it!"


"This big brown thing looks interesting"


"But how do I eat it?"


"This was not as yummy as I thought it would be. Next time, give me vanilla!"


Opening presents (her boyfriend, Everett, is in the background, ha)



Taking a selfie ;)


 

With auntie Kel Kel 


Modeling her new clothes....





Love her face haha...





She loves to lie down on the ground and "read" her books


Dr. Seuss



Her squinty face she makes during meals


Her squinty, kissy face


Blurry, but here is her new swimsuit


She loves the pool, baths...water in general :)


Beautiful Baby B in a Bonnet...Chillin at Granny and Gramps' house


She looked SO much like Dalton when she was a newborn and now she looks like me when I was her age. Interesting....

   Brielle is so much fun! She is a very easy, happy baby. She loves to dance, laugh, read books, take baths, get tickled, play peekaboo, listen to music, play tag, watch/play with dogs/animals, clap her hands, give kisses, take naps, say "dada"and "mama," play with everything but her toys, and look for "treasures" under the couch. 
  
She loves to go to church so she can kiss her boyfriend, lol. But she also likes the music and rummaging through everyone else's diaper bag :) 

As of a week ago she decided that now that she's one, it is about time she became a picky eater! She loves rice, cheese, cucumbers, and watermelon but not much else...not even chocolate cake! But she is very independent with her eating and has a whopping total of 3 teeth.

She has inherited Dalton's gentleness and my sassiness, which I think is a superb combo :)

Baby Brielle's Birthday!!



Dear Brielle,

Today you turn one year old
We can hardly believe it
Our precious little doll
On your cake one candle lit




When we first met
You were alert and calm 
So tiny, so soft, so content  
So comforting in our arms 


You seemed to thrive with challenges 
Never giving up the fight 
Inspiring in new experiences 
Tummy time was a delight!  


Like a blossoming rose 
You have begun to bloom 
With your cute button nose 
And bright eyes too 



Your quiet gentleness is profound 
Tender yet powerful 
Feelings of love abound 
We are forever grateful  


You melt hearts with your gaze
What a precious gem!  
Pure and constant in the haze
A princess from heaven    


There is a sorrow that stirs 
With letting this year go 
But what joy God confers 
When making you our own  

We have loved you every single day this year  
We will love you for an eternity more 
You are our bright-eyed happy girl it's clear  
Your life is our joy--we can't wait for what's in store! 

Love,  

Mommy and Daddy :)
