Mama...Finally!!!

Can you tell I'm all choked up in the background?!? The video is dark, I took it tonight and knew if I turned on the light that's what she'd focus on...lol
It's been a wonderful week for Brinson....her eating is better, (She's now 17lbs 9 oz), she started crawling, pulling up, and she said Mama today clearly for the first time. Meme is our good luck charm!

Silly sleeper

She is such a character.....She was completely out! (Thanks to the Baldwins for her new cute outfit!)

Playin on the carpet

Creepy crawlin!

Brinson officially crawled today! I got a part of the day on video as best I could, but as most of you know, kids don't do things on demand...lol Enjoy! Hope to catch more creepin/crawlin as I can get it!!!

Happy Baby

NICU Reunion

This year the NICU Reunion party was held this past Saturday at the Children's Museum after hours. It was just awesome to see everyone again! It was emotional for me, I cried within the first 15 minutes we were there! (This is mommy posting by the way).
We were busy visiting and didn't get pics of everyone, You can see more great pics on Zachary Baldwin's blog------------------->






Kamryn and her Mama (Just a side note, Kamryn was exactly the same gestational age and weight as Brinson!) Her mama Tanya has awesome taste in clothes too!

Can't wait to do it again next year!!!! Brinson had a ball and had smiles for alot of people. We also got to see Dr. McIntyre, Dr. Hernandez, Cheryl the NICU eye nurse (and our good friend), Brooke the social worker! as well as some other staff who showed up for the party. Brinson was pooped after the blast, and slept most of the way home.

Outside Fun!

We took B outside in the yard today and took some fun pics!
By the way, Mother's Day was alot of fun, we just didn't take many pics lol...We had everyone over here and Daddy was the cook. We grilled out and visited. It was a good time and low key. Daddy only has a few random pics on his camera so we didn't post. Tomorrow is the Women's Hospital NICU reunion. I sure hope we get to see alot of the staff who took care of Brinson. Hope to have lots of pics then!

Look at my pretty bows!!

Brinson and Meme waving

A moment with Mommy

"Say Whaaaaat?!?"

"Um, Mommy, are we done yet?"

She is such a silly girl. Sorry for the jerky quality. If you look closely during the extreme closeup you can see her 2 bottom teeth for a second!
