Brielle is 2!!!!

i can't believe it....my baby is 2!!!!
we have pics, but our computer died...so, until the new one comes in....you will have to wait.
she is definately 2, with her continued independence, tantrums (sometimes resulting in us leaving places), imitating everything her brother does, and wanting to be ever so helpful with everything i do. she is talking non-stop, has taken to dolls, barbies,"her babies" and makes sure that we are changing them and bringing them everywhere with us.
her stats: 25 lbs (30%) and 35inches (80%)....so, tall and thin...just what you want for a little girl!
i will upload pics soon.....

until then..we are preparing for halloween!!!!

October.....

yes..i have been slacking and I am going to use the pregnant excuse.  i sleep whenever i get the chance therefore forgetting all other things that i usually do.  the baby is almost 17 weeks now, and I am feeling really good (minus the exhaustion and headaches) and i have started to show some....makes us all excited.  brielle now refers to my belly as where the baby lives, and braydon has determined still that the baby will be named, Beaver. :)

we have been busy.....and it just keeps going, but this is my favorite time of year and although Maryland temps have not reflected a sense of fall...i love fall!

this weekend we have 6 families coming over for a "camp out" where they will sleep in tents in the backyard, sit by the fire, roast marshmallows and whatever else we can do to wear out 4 yr olds and 2 yr olds....pictures to follow.

we head to Disney World, and Boca Raton, FL in 3 weeks (for my grandma's birthday) and then back for Thanksgiving.....

Brielle turns 2 this coming monday.....can you believe it?  all going so fast.....
