My 1st Thanksgiving

And I ate......mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potato casserole and little baby pieces of stuffing!

low low low

The day you lower the crib mattress (to me) is the day that you concede from a goo-goo-gaa-gaa baby to OMG this kid is almost a toddler!

After watching Brie before her nap; roll over...grab the side rail and pull herself up and start peek over the rail; it was time!

Thanks Grandpa Mike :)

Ma-Ma

It's pretty safe to report that Brie has said "ma-ma" twice now! Once I heard it super clear and Maria didn't so I thought maybe I was crazy (or just tired from working all day) but today she said it again and Maria looked at me and confirmed what I heard. Its really gratifying to hear that because coming from a mom who works FT and sits in her office knowing she's missing out on SO much during the day; I often wonder if she'll start to favor my au pair over me because I am gone from 8-5....so hearing those precious little words is wonderful!
