Josie & Brielle

Go Ramblers!

Alexia decided to include Brielle on the Loyola soccer tee shirt order this year:).  We had fun cheering on the Ramblers to victory in their season opening game last weekend.  

moo moo

This cute cow outfit was a gift from one of John's great aunts-- thanks, Kathy!  Look at the cute little stuffed cow in the front pocket:)  When Brielle sees John in this outfit she says "moooo."

new pajamas

Brielle likes her new pajamas from her mom's friend-- thanks Natalie! :)

PeeeZZa!

"close your eyes"

Here is another "new talent" of Brielle's... it all started when we were reading a book with a picture of a girl whose eyes were closed because she was yawning. Like how quick she closes her eyes? :)

"How is Brielle adjusting to having a baby brother?"

Tim & I have learned that with a second child, the most popular questions we are asked are, "How is Brielle adjusting to being a big sister?" and "What does Brielle think of John?" Well, these videos provide an answer to those questions. :) She likes having him around--- he's a new playmate for her!

Brielle learning names

Brielle is learning how to say the names of her cousins, aunts, & uncles.

Smiling John

Look who is smiling more! :)

Johnny is about 7 weeks old here.

Big Sis

Brielle holds her hands up in the air when she wants to hold Johnny. She holds him for about 5 seconds- max. It's cute watching her act like a big sister.

Brielle & Mommy

6 weeks

John is starting to smile more:)- he's becoming more alert and aware of everything.

2008 babes

Here are John and his 2 cousins, Karley (5 1/2 months) and Lincoln (5 months). We all live in the same neighborhood! It will be fun to watch them grow up together:)

"What does a Ninja say?"

Jenny and Alexia taught Brielle the answer to "what does a ninja say?" :)
