A couple of weeks ago at the grocery store, Tim & Brielle were at the deli counter. A nice young girl working behind the counter offered Brielle some string cheese. Brielle enjoyed munching on it as we continued gathering our groceries throughout the store. We knew she liked cheese and could eat little pieces of it, but that day Brielle showed us that she can handle the whole thing! Funny how she's usually ready for more than I'm ready to believe.

Snow day
At Christmas, Jenny gave Brielle a mini magnadoodle, and Brielle has developed the hand-eye coordination to draw squiggles all over its board. Little did I know, she would be able to do this already with a marker too! As the paper became more and more red, so did her mouth and her left hand. Make sure to look at her left hand in the last video:).
Tim & Brielle have had a lot of "father/daughter" days lately as our near record-breaking snow falls have led to many days of cancelled school. This is what they were up to on one of those days.
Indoor bubbles
Brielle had her first exposure to bubbles... her grandma gave her bubbles for Valentine's Day. The bubbles sure have provided a lot of indoor fun on these snowy days! She likes to watch them float around and she tries to reach out and grab them. She looks at us a little confused after they pop and disappear. When I held the wand up to see if she would blow on it she wanted to put it all the way in her mouth:).

Gimme five
Okay, this should be my last video post of the day. I've been telling my sisters about Brielle's latest accomplishments and they reply, "You have to put it on the blog!" They both live far away and haven't seen Brielle since Christmas break... so their guilt trip worked and I captured a lot of Brielle moments this weekend.
click click
Brielle probably picked this trick up from her daddy... he likes to click his tongue at her. She sounds much louder on this video that she does in real life! The video makes it sound like you can even hear the click echo in the room!
