Two Months

Yes, this is our little ham Briana. She is so funny and loves to laugh. Briana was placed in our arms July 30 and today is September 30. She has been in our lives two whole months - I can't believe it. This past week has been like a new world for me - I am not 100% physically, but I would say I am 95%. I love motherhood and I think I am getting the hang of it - ha! I think Briana can tell I am feeling better too. She seems so much more relaxed and happy this past week. The week before last, she was waking up every night two or three times a night. Once I got better, she started sleeping through the night like a champ. I really believe that babies can sense when something is wrong.

She babbles all the time and can say "bye" (with a little southern accent - wonder where she is gettin' that from - ha!). She also said "Mama" to me the other day. She has said it to me before, but only when she was crying. She looked up at me from her high chair the other day and simply said "Mama". I was so excited! She absolutely loves picture books and looks at them all the time. And she is walking all over the place. She got her check up at the pediatrician on Tuesday and she gained one whole pound and grew 3/4 of an inch! The doctor is so pleased and says she looks great!

Wednesday night, Doug, Briana and I had dinner at Longhorn with Georgia and Jeff - which was a blast! And on Friday, Briana and I had lunch with Miss Kathy - who should be getting her referral this week - woo hoo! We are soooo excited for her! It was so nice to be able to get out this week and feel like a human being again!

Here are a few pics from the week (and from the potluck last Saturday)!

Silly Briana...

Walkin', walkin', walkin'...

Love the shades!

Can't wait to go to my first potluck! And I let Mom put a barrett in my hair!

This is Briana and Claire (Cindy and Brent's little girl - what a doll by the way!) Briana loves feeding Claire goldfish crackers!
