Not "Happy" Friday--"Help me!" Friday

Well, we knew it would happen eventually. Brinlie is officially sick with her first cold. Her poor little nose is running, her eyes are red and watering, sneezing and a cough. She's even been waking herself up from coughing so much, only to puke all over herself, her bedding, whoever's holding her, etc. Yep, it's been a fun night and day to say the least. But, in true Brinlie fashion, she still manages to give me cute little smiles here and there.

Gotta love that girl! Wish us luck as we trudge through this weekend!

Tummy time

Our poor, neglected little dogs think that if they just get between us and Brinlie, they have a chance of getting some attention. A few nights ago Brin was getting some tummy time, when Mocha decided she could do tummy time too. I know, they're pathetic! Mocha sharing Brinlie's blanket and tummy time.

Taking a break to give Brinlie a kiss--see how much the dogs love Brinlie??!!

All smiles--because this is only minute #2 of tummy time. Give it 5 more minutes and she'll be fussing and getting mad that she's not on her back!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yesterday Brinlie received her Valentine's package from GM & GP W. Inside were 3 cute outfits and a penguin teether! (Perfect, since her dad is a penguin!) Here are a few pics of Brin in her Valentine's outfits!

Brinlie can sit up with the help of the Boppy.

Love that big smile!

Oops! I can't sit up for too long yet!

I can also stand by myself~!

Here's my cute heart sweater that Aunt Jeanette gave me--perfect for Valentine's!

Superbowl attire

For those of you who don't know, I'm a Denver Broncos fan and Brinlie's Daddy is an Oakland Raiders fan--opposites attract I guess. So, during the Superbowl I decided it would be funny to put Brinlie in her Denver Broncos cheerleader outfit to see what her Daddy would do. Wouldn't you know it, he refused to even hold her while she was wearing this outfit! I guess I need an Oakland Raiders cheerleader outfit so he'll hold her all the time!

Daddy gives Brin a bath!

Most of the time Mommy is the one to give Brin her nightly bath. Last night it was Daddy's turn. Doesn't he look cute with the little "towel apron" on? I just love the pictures of Brin with her Daddy--the two loves of my life!

Mocha insists on being in the picture.

Here are the dogs keeping Brinlie's towel warm while she gets bathed.

Playmat fun

Brinlie really enjoys playing on her Ocean Wonders playmat that Gayle and Tami gave to her. Lately she's been not only kicking the ball, but catching it and holding it!

Caught in the act

"Look how cute I am!"

"Hi again. Can't I play in peace?!"

Bath Time Fun

Brinlie really enjoys her baths and has even started playing with her bath toys. Every night she gets a bath after her nighttime bottle, followed by reading a book ("Goodnight Moon" is her favorite) and then down for bed.

Look how big I'm getting! Now mom has to wash my double chins!
"What's going on here? A photo shoot while I'm in the bath?!"
