Interesting Tidbits

Since we have been away for a little while, here's what has been going on in our world.

* When Briana burps, coughs or hiccups, she covers her mouth and says "scuze me, I burped". And when I give hand her something, she says "tank u, mama". It is so cute!

* Doug bought me an iPhone 3G. It's mega cool...

* My daughter is completely boy crazy. When she sees a boy and she runs right toward him. She giggles and bats her eyelashes. She's only two years old people. I won't be able to handle her during her teenage years.

* Briana also doesn't realize how young she is. When she sees kids her own age or a little younger, she points and yells out "Baby!" And when she is playing somewhere (like at DAC kids), she tries to keep up with kids much older than her. She doesn't realize she is just a baby herself (ok - a toddler).

* Speaking of babies, Briana never goes anywhere without her "Baby". Yes, it is that white and pink doll you see in almost every picture I take of her. Ugh. I have tried to convince Bri that "Baby" doesn't need to go everywhere with us. She disagrees.

* Briana has her own language, and she talks ALL THE TIME. Some things understandable, other things not so much. People have warned me that once they start talking, they never stop. That's the truth. She talks, talks, talks. And she sings whenever we go to a store. I drive the shopping cart - and she sings. Oh, not a song anyone would know. She makes songs up - "Mommy, Daddy, Shoe" is my favorite.

* Briana walks on her tip toes. I can't get her to stop it.

* Briana is crazy about "Ni Hao, Kai Lan". She is constantly begging me to put "Ye-Ye" on. Just see how excited she is when I play the show off of the TiVo. You can hear me laughing - I just couldn't help it.



* I am now a F@cebook addict.

* I was just thinking about how sick I was last year at this time. It was so awful. I hope I never get that sick again.

* I am so glad to be back and blogging. I've missed you all! Thanks to all of you who sent me sweet comments saying how much you missed me. It feels good to be loved! :D

I have just one word for you -- "SUPER!!!!!"

(You have to say it using Kai-Lan's voice to achieve the full effect.)

Im so gald your back, I missed you!! and great look!! Great playroom someone is one loved little girl!!!!Do you have that dance and learn chinese with mei Mei???

I've never seen little feet move so fast!

Maybe she walks on tiptoe so she will be taller (and seem even older!)

I'm still trying to figure FaceBook out (I'm a slow learner!)...but, figured I had better get on so I could keep up with my teenage daughter. She is on it CONSTANTLY, so, I figured I'd better start hanging out there to, so I could keep apprised of where she is. Still, I was shocked a few days ago when I walked by her room and heard her talking away. She was by herself. She doesn't have a phone. It weirded me out there for a moment. Going in, I found her talking away to the built-in mic in her computer and her best friend from school was answering her back, through her computer, an audible voice...whoah...I didn't know we could do that (yes, I am very technology challenged!)...

I love her dancing around and Asia fleeing the scene.

Facebook is totally addictive. I agree.

Oh the cuteness is overwhelming!!! I am so glad to see you back...although I haven't been around much myself. I love the new look.

I need to get myself around facebook more.

Bri is so tall! And her hair is so long. Whatcha feeding that cutie pie? I want Hannah's hair to grow more!

Melissa said...

Rory is almost 2 and does the same thing - both with boys and with the jabbering. She has long, serious conversations with us (but we don't know a word she is saying!).

Loved the video!!!
Help us out with facebook... I do not have a clue (maybe when Lizzy is a little older she will keep us in step with technology!).

We will travel by car after we arrive home from China. Our paths may cross if you want to meet. We love Briana and would love to give you all a hug for being such great bloggy frineds! Let us know.

I wanna be your FB friend - can you e-mail me with your full name so I can find you on there please? You can e-mail me via my blog.

I love all your information about Briana - it makes me understand her adorable personality even more!

Liene said...

That video was so stinkin' funny. I can't wait to meet that little ball of fury when we move there. She is going to LOVE Eriks!!!

Eriks is still a tippy toe walker - I think. I haven't been paying attention recently. Maybe not so much anymore since he's at school all day and has to wear shoes!!

Love the new blog design. Glad your back. No idea when I will be :(

Steffie B. said...

Zoe is the same as Briana with the caling anybody just slightly younger than her a baby!
