Happy Baby
Brielle was such a happy baby today! She was so happy when we woke up this morning and there was so much stretching and exploring to do. I was getting a little worried about her since she had set up camp on the right side of my tummy, and while she would move her legs, she wasn’t very interested in moving the rest of her body. Today, she was all over the place! She was throwing her arms around, kicking her little legs, moving from one side to the other and in all kinds of positions.
I hadn’t had any pineapple in about a week, and this morning she had some again. She was SO happy, she started dancing around the moment I started eating. She loves her pineapple. Tonight I made chicken stir fry with pineapple, onions, and red peppers. She danced for an hour after that meal! I gave her all of her favorite things in one meal! Plus we watched Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and she had so much fun listening and then we played some video games (we’ve got to nerd her out) and she helped Mommy fight the bad guys!
I talked to her all evening and she loved hearing my voice. I told her how much I love her and rubbed my belly and she pushed back with her little hands! It was a precious little moment for me and sweet Brielle. I love my little baby girl.
The Loss of the Belly Shelf
Brielle LOVED the singing in church today, she danced the whole time! During the sermon I was resting my arms on my belly and she moved from her normal position and kicked/hit my arms off, with quite a bit of force, I might add. That’s the first time she’s done that. I had a good laugh at her determination (and strength), but I’m a little bummed I’ve lost my belly shelf.
Brielle’s First ’80s Song
Man! We were so excited Brielle liked (what we thought) her first ’80s song, Bryan Adams “Run to You.” Checked album date, 1993. frown emoticon Why is she such a nineties girl?
Correction: we were looking at a singles album, the song was released in 1984. She does like an ’80s song!!!
24 Weeks!
Brielle is 24 weeks!! Instead of doing one big thing, we’re celebrating all week! This week is all about Star Wars. We’ll be watching a Star Wars movie every day (starting with the original three, of course) and teaching Brielle the ways of the force with our new light sabers! Because really, what kind of parents would we be if we didn’t teach our little girl how to fight like a Jedi?
