The Summer of Sleepers

Brisby jumps into some snugly sleepers just in time for the hot hot heat!

Is her hat a bear or a cat?

Brisby loves to visit with "mirror baby"

She's gotten really good at holding her head up

Giant bows are now in style!

OOOOOOOOHHHH!

Brisby shows off her progress!

This first video is from when she was only ten days old

And this one is at almost three months.

She's becoming more of a joy to be around!

Bathtime for Brisby

When I first imagined giving Brisby a bath, I conjured up ideas that we'd take a cute little video of a smiling baby, splashing the water, her eyes full of the joy of discovery.

So when the time actually came, we purchased a baby tub, and filled it halfway, checking the temperature so that was just right.  But the moment her little bottom touched the water's edge, as far as she was concerned, we may as well have dipped her into a vat full of worms.  She spent the entire time squalling, as we rushed to clean her as best we could.  After a few minutes of this torture, she emerged, slippery and shivering.  We dried her off, but it would be sometime before she calmed down.

My point is, not every milestone needs to be documented.

Anyway, here are the cute pictures of the aftermath:

The towel helped a bit

Drying off with Daddy

And here's a cute moment after her second bath.

Brisby's first Thanksgiving

We drove up to San Pedro on Wednesday and stayed the night.  Then it became a flurry of food and family!

Brisby tries out a brand new dress with a pink sweater.  It lasted for about three hours.

Amy and Brisby looking their best!  Daniel's there too.

We told William that Don and Ruth's was the royal palace.

All tuckered out from a big day!

Thanks to everyone for having us over for Thanksgiving!  Next time we'll remember to take more than four pictures.

Random Photo Day

Sometimes you just gotta share what you got.

Taking care of the little ones

Sometimes Brisby likes her changing pad better than her crib.

We made a super symmetrical cake for Brisby.  Too bad she couldn't eat it.

William sure likes those head scratches

Put on your 3D glasses now!

More Modeling from the Little One

 When you have such an extended family, you end up with a lot of clothes.

The bib matched the outfit so we couldn't help ourselves.

She really does like that pacifier

Already on her way to becoming a fashion star!

Brisby's First Halloween

What's scarier than spending Halloween safe at home with your parents?

Brisby tries something scary... wearing pants!

Batgirl and a mini Catwoman

Time to pose with Daddy

Nooooo!!

Halloween is also double hat day for Brisby

Brisby Enjoys Her New Home

Having a new born is exciting (and kinda difficult!)

Brisby always wants us to hold her while she sleeps.

Here is Daddy practicing some attentive parenting.

Enjoying some time with Mommy.

Meanwhile, William's 18 hours of sleep largely goes unchanged.

Tired but happy

Brisby makes sure to practice her daily Tai chi

Finally sleeping in her crib!

Good night!

Bringing Brisby from the Hospital

Some pictures of her first time home.

 Brisby at the hospital.  (The nurses swaddled her up better than we ever could!)

Ready for her first car ride.  She looks pretty bewildered at the whole prospect.

Meeting William the corgi.  He wasn't exactly sure what to do with her.

Happy to be home!
