She is still a crawling maniac, she is so fast and gets around to where ever she needs to go! Brie just started going up the stairs, and does it pretty well. We obviously stay right behind her the entire time, and going down the stairs to her still means going head first, so we have some work to do on that. She is starting to take some steps while we hold her hands, but barely. Really we are just dragging her along, she definitely will not be walking before her birthday, but that is ok. I am still getting used to her crawling....not ready for walking yet! She pulls up on everything still, and loves to try and grab anything within her reach (which is a lot further than you think!). She is starting to 'chat' a lot more recently. She does say mama and dada, but it is hard to tell if she knows that Alec is dada and I am mama. But she does say dog (which sounds like "daaaw") and if you ask her what the dog says she will woof, which really she just blows air, but it is really stinking cute! She points at Josie all the time and says daaaw.
I am still nursing Brie 4 times a day (morning, twice during the day, and before bedtime), I haven't really decided how long we are going to nurse for. It is going so well and is just so easy, I guess we will just see how things go! Food on the other hand has taken a turn for the worse, she has become so picky. She used to eat almost anything that we put on her tray or in her mouth. But now she is so picky and won't eat anything. One day she will eat something and the next day she won't eat that same food! She sticks her tongue out all the way so you can't put anything in, she won't allow anything that is green, different looking, basically anything that isn't bread in her mouth! It is pretty frustrating to say the least, but I just keep trying to give her different stuff.
Big news in the sleeping department, she is sleeping through the night!!! Yeah yeah, most people are able to say that when their kid is like 3 months old....but I stand by that most people don't move twice with their kid within 2 months. She takes 2 naps a day, each is usually around 1hr-1.5hrs; and she goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:30. We don't exactly have a set schedule, but it works great for us. I like that she is flexible and can work around things we have planned. She goes down really easy usually for naps and bedtime, as long as she has her thumb and her lovey she is good to go.

When we get her out of bed she will let you snuggle her on your shoulder for like 2 whole minutes. And she is so funny, while you are giving her hugs she will pat your back. Pat, pat, pat. She loves to clap her hands and say 'aaaaaaaaaa'. Which I think translated means 'yeah!' She does not give out smiles very easy, especially for the camera. She is pretty serious. She also gets very upset very easily; she doesn't like when you take things away from her (especially cell phones), when we force her to eat, when her bottle is gone, and if you have to wipe her nose.
We love Brie so much, Alec and I are just enjoying each month that goes by and all the changes that happen each month. She is such a blessing in our lives and we are so thankful for her!
