Giggling

Britta is so ticklish and she can't stop giggling. How can you NOT laugh at this adorable giggle?

The Twist

Britta LOVES to dance! Every time music is played or we say "Britta, can you dance?" she goes crazy! We call her moves "The Twist" because she keeps her head still and she twists her body!

Baby Doll

Britta recently discovered how much she loves her baby doll! She can poke her in the eyes and chew on her and she doesn't fight back! Thanks Great Grandma and Grandpa Leafblad for such a cute little baby doll!

"Are you alright? Are you ok? YOU- call for help!"

It was hilarious- I said "Britta, can you kiss your baby?" And she DID!

Road Trip

We took a girls road trip last week to visit Great Grandpa and Grandma Leafblad last week! It was quite an adventure piling all of us in the car- especially with a teething and SCREAMING Britta..... Let's just say it was a long ride in the car! Aunt Debbie has a wonderful toy room in the basement! The girls loved it!

Britta especially likes poking babies in the eye! Sorry to all you babies out there!

6 girls under 3! It was a wild time together!

This picture didn't go over so well.... My favorite is Mari flailing in the right corner....

Sorry Mari-You're out of this one!

Time for dinner!

Britta: "Hear no evil, see no evil!"

A baby sized couch! Perfect!

She's deceiving you in this picture- she only smiled like this for the picture! The rest of the time she was screaming!

We'll hope for a more "quiet" road trip next time! :)

Happy Valentine's Day

"I just LOVE Valentine's Day! It's just so relaxing!" Excited! Can you tell?
Everyone clap for Valentine's Day!

Love you!

Peeking....

She is such a funny girl in her snowsuit. She actually likes it!!

Winter baby

She's Crawling!

As of last Thursday, Britta has been crawling! Some of the things that inspire her to crawl- chasing her cousin Mariana, going after Daddy's phone, crawling for her sippy cup, and as you will see on the video- chasing after the camera strap!

9 Months Old!

Happy 9 Months Britta! Some 9 month highlights for Britta:

-She is in the 90th percentile for weight (21 lbs 6 oz) and length (29 inches)

-She loves to clap! Everything is worthy of clapping for...

-She imitates the sounds "mama" and "dada" anytime we say them, though we're not sure she's saying it to anyone in particular.

-She points to things in her books (especially animals)

-She can stand on her own against the couch/toy table.

-She can FINALLY fall asleep on her own for naps (without me getting her to sleep first!)

-She has 4 beautiful teeth.

-Her smile is priceless!

Each day we are so thankful that God has given us Britta and has chosen us to be her parents!

It's a whole new world up here!

The new smile: Squinting eyes (almost shut) and wrinkling up her nose! We're wondering how she came up with this one... Do we smile like this?

Ok- seriously- is there anything cuter than this grin??
