Home grown fun


Sunday morning we had some time to play before we got ready for church. So I sat on Daddy for a while and told him about what the bears taught me in my room while Mommy and Daddy were sleeping. The bears tell good stories and teach me stuff while I'm playing in my bed before Mommy comes to get me.



This is the best way to get Daddy to listen. He can't get up and go away til I'm done with him!

When it was time to get dressed, I put on my Valentine's Day dress from Auntie Rachel. It's got a little fuzzy heart on it that's soft. Mommy decided to try a new hair do since my hair gets in my eyes sometimes.

It was kind of like a little bug or something weird on my head. But some people liked it, so I guess it was ok.

Sunday night we went to Toro with our new friends. This is Sophie, and she's pretty fun. She has an extra chromosome like me. She's 7 1/2 months old, but she likes to eat better than me, so she's bigger than me. Mommy says I should learn from her so I can be a big girl too. Isn't she so pretty?!?

Her mommy and daddy, Miss Jen and Mr. Mark, came too, and her big brother Alexander. He likes trains alot, so he got excited when they came by Toro like they always do. We had a nice dinner but I only took one little bite.

On Monday, Daddy didn't have to go to work because of some presidents or something. So we had some family cuddle time in the big bed. Mommy went to the store to get some things and Daddy, Belle, and I went back to sleep for a while.


Later I took a bath and played for a while. It was pretty fun. Lots of splashing and making messes. I liked to feel the water on my tongue, so I kept opening my mouth. Mommy said, "Why can't you do that in your high chair??"



Then Daddy came home and played for a few minutes.

Right after Mommy took the last picture, I leaned forward to get the water spray and I fell right over on my face in the water. I just got floated up and right over! Daddy grabbed me really quick and helped me get all the water out of my mouth. That was kind of scary for me!! You can click here to see another picture and see what Daddy said about it.

Then before bed on Monday, Daddy showed me how to brush my teeth. Mommy got me a toothbrush and baby toothpaste that morning, and she told Daddy it was his job to teach me how to brush because he's a good toothbrusher and takes care of his teeth really good. I didn't think it was fun at first, but he played with me and showed me slow, and Mommy got all excited when I let him brush my teeth for a minute.

Then I decided I would try to help. Daddy said I did really good for my first time. I think it will be fun to have toothbrushing time with Daddy every night!

  5. Hey- If you decides you like the tooth brush in your mouth maybe you can get one for feeding. My girls would love to have another reason to use their tooth brushes. We could start a new fad...tooth brush feeding:-) You are too cute Braska!

  9. So cool that daddy can have his own special time of day to help you brush your teeth Braska! We did that at my house too and it worked great!
    I'm so glad that daddy was there to rescue you in the tub when you tried your first dive -- Hurray Daddy!

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
