Clap Clap Clap
Tonight while I was playing with Bri'elle when I said,"Yay" she started to clap. She did it twice for me. I was just beside myself. It was totally out of nowhere. When I realized that she was clapping I told her "good girl" and "what a big girl" so she knew she did something good. I was so excited that she was clapping that I swooped her up and took her downstairs to show Jay and the next of the clan who was down there. I tried to get her to do it again but she didn't want to share the moment who everyone. I'm sure this definitely isn't the last time she will be doing it. We do patty cake with her and she loves that so it makes me feel good to see our hardwork at teaching/playtime is paying off. Things like this just make my day. :)
Good Ole Friends
Last week I went to my friends shower who I haven't seen since I was about seven. It was so nice to see her and catch up a little. She lived across the street from me when I lived in Rodeo. Her family moved a little after Haley was born. I saw her once after she moved and the communication was lost. After so many years we found each other on facebook. What a coincidence! Her sister Candice is also my FB friend and secretly invited me to Richelle's baby shower. I'm so glad she did and I was able to go. I got to reconnect with the family who pretty much watched me go through my treatment when I was a little girl. It was a total flashback. Her mom was telling me of how scared she was when I would stay the night because the tube I had that went into my chest for my medication. I'm so thankful for her family and for her. They treated me so good more than one could expect.
In seventeen years so much has changed. I don't think we would have ever recognized each other walking on the street. Its so bizarre. On my way there all I could think of is were they going to know that it was me walking through the door and hoping her sister was going to be the one to answer since Richelle didn't know I was coming. All in all it made my weekend. Reconnecting with old friends is such a nice feeling.
We exchanged phone numbers and are hoping to keep in touch for the future. <3

Big girl this and Big girl that
(This post I drafted and forgot to actually post it, so here it is)
Last week Jay and I went I bought Bri'elle her first crib. She has been sleeping in a bassinet since she was a newborn. The poor girl was getting so squished in the thing we HAD to buy her a crib. We were trying to hold off as long as we can because they are so expensive and we were hoping we would get other options, but nothing came to us. So, here we are now! Little miss looks so tiny in her crib, its crazy. I'm glad we got it. She has been sleeping much better and comfortably in it. Our room is a little tight right now but its well worth it. Bri'elle is so happy too. She will play in there for a good hour before she wants out when she wakes up. And she doesnt cry when we put her in it. The best thing out the crib we picked out is, it's a convertible crib. Now we won't have to buy her a toddler bed, big girl bed, or a bed when she is a teenager. It turns into a full bed!!! Its a good investment seeing how we won;'t have to buy abother bed until we have another baby and we already decided we will buy another convertible one. This will save us from having to buy so many beds and mattresses. It's a win win situation.
Also during the weekend (last weekend that is) Jay got her "big girl" carseat out of storage. Bri'elle sits a little higher and she can see all whats going on. Her seat even has little armrests and a cup holder. Someone is just a little spoiled. I'm glad we got this when we did, it was 75% off at Target when I was about 4 months pregnant. We figured it was a good deal considering it was on sale for only $30.00 or something and was originally in the hundreds. If we didn't use it for her it would've became a gift for someone. Bri'elle isn't too fond of the seat yet. We haven;t totally figured it out to sit absolutely right. I feel like it should lean a little father back. It makes her sit up straight which she is not used to. Last night on our way home from my cousin's wedding I somehow loosened the headrest and Bri'elle was happy to sit in her seat. So I think I solved the problem, hopefully.
