Winter Life

Our lives as of recently have pretty much consisted of holing up in the house.  It's too cold to want to go outside and it's just so much work running around with a baby!  Pretty much the only time Briana leaves the house is to go to Shelly's house when I work and to church.  

 My mom sent Brie a Valentine and this book!  It took a few tries to get this picture, she kept trying to eat the book and the Valentine.

So I'm not sure if we are bad parents for this, but she LOVES to watch this Praise Baby DVD we have.  Its just this hokey DVD that plays praise songs and shoes animals and babies and random images.  She can be in the fussiest mood, put her in front of this and poof she's fine!  

She also likes to sit in her exersaucer.  She has the Sophie the giraffe toy and loves chewing on the legs, I would highly recommend this toy!  It is by far her favorite, she has the smaller one too that has 2 handles and also loves that one. 

Then there is Josie.  Josie is suffering from cabin fever, its too cold to play outside and everyone has the winter laziness here.  She loves her toys, including this stuffed bunny that she chews on.  

Despite our attempts to keep her from all the nasty germs of the world Brie got a cold.  Actually she still has some of it lingering.  Snotty nose is pretty much her only symptom, and she was SUPER fussy.  Only wanted to be held and walked around with, otherwise she cried.  Poor little babe.  We did have some good cuddle sessions though.

One evening we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant.  I tried desperately to get a picture, but she could not keep her eyes of the fountain they have there.

 All ready for bed!  We still half swaddle her in her special blanket, she always works her arms out though and usually sleeps with them above her head.

A friend from work got me this nurse shirt for my baby shower.  Brie certainly has plenty of nurses in her life, and as each of us will confirm....nurses rock!
