Smiles

Thinking about it...
Almost there...
Jackpot!

Bri loves her daddy and baths.

So after all those posts about what I should dress Bri as for Halloween, she ended up not being anything at all. The mermaid costume I bought off ebay ended up being way, way too big. I should have known from the picture. The child wearing the costume is sitting up on their own. That should have been a huge clue. Oh well. I'll save it for next year. We went to a friend's house for Halloween and watched scary movies and handed out candy to trick or treaters. It was a lot of fun. I'm not anything at all and Collin is of course a Kentucky football player.

One Month

I apologize if this blog turns into a blog just about Bri. Let it be known that I'm warning you now.

Bri turned one month old yesterday. It's gone by both fast and slow at the same time. I am so thrilled that I'm taking 9 weeks off work instead of the original 6 I was planning to take. Just in the past week, she has started being content between feedings and naps and she'll just look around. I cannot wait until she can smile at us. She was 7 lbs 2 oz when she was born and Monday she weighed 7 lbs 14-1/2 oz. She's getting a little chubby and I'm loving it.

So...I'm a month late, but you know...newborns are needy

Buyer's Remorse

I had pretty much decided we were going with the strawberry for Bri's Halloween costume, but Babies R Us only carries it online. When I went to order it, it was out of stock. It looks like it will be popular this year.

I decided to try and look for it on ebay and found this mermaid one. I think it's cuter than the one I had found before and I could get it for less than the $20 price tag of the other one so without thinking I bid on it and won. Now, I'm wishing I'd thought more about it, especially after Collin said it was an "okay" costume. Oh well. Maybe I'll fall in love with it when it comes in. We probably won't be taking her many places anyway.
