First, my wonderful high-school friend Jamie came for a visit. We had a great time with her! We took advantage of having a visitor and went to see the sites: Nasa, the mall, and the Zoo. Brielle was a little trooper and loved all of our field trip adventures - even with an ear infection. Unfortunately, I didn't take my camera on any of our adventures, but Jamie did take some shots of us at the zoo:
Watching the Jellyfish
The porcupine
The elephants
Perfect Photo-Op
It ended up being 110 degrees that day; the hottest I've ever seen in Houston. Luckily there were snow cone machines in abundance, and we all got to cool off with one.
After Jamie left, Mark's high-school friend, Matt, came with his wife, Erin, and their daughter, Skylie. Skylie is just a month older than Brielle. Brielle was delighted to have a friend to play with full-time for a couple of days. We had a great time catching up as well. Thanks Matt and Erin for coming to play!
The Dads and their daughters
Good friends and good times
Since then, we've been busy with things such as:
Making tutus. I made this one for Brielle to have her picture taken in. There will be a onesie with a cupcake on it in matching colors. More posts on this later.
Working. Mark works hard, sometimes bringing his work home so he can spend some time with Brielle before she goes to bed. Brielle like to be just like Daddy and work on "her" laptop while he works on his.
Being silly. Brielle's newest obsession is wearing Mommy's sunglasses around the house. "I wear my sunglasses at night..." comes to mind...
Brielle also passed the 11-month mark. Hard to believe that she's been with us for almost a year already! In the past month she's accomplished walking, playing peek-a-boo, finding her head, and learning the shape of a circle. Still working on the hair, though...
