Question of the day:
Do you wait until baby is done vomiting before you pick her up?
Con: increased guilt at watching baby suffer
Pro: 1/10th of the laundry to do

Errands with a 12 month old
December 17, 2010
Off to the Post Office to mail out some last minute gifts with Gabriella and Brianna in tow.
I'm aware that the lines are going to be long. No big deal-- my kids are great.
We arrive at the Post Office and, as I'm entering, I can feel Brianna going #2 in her diaper. Ugh.
No big deal- we're not going to be here THAT long. I can wait to change her.
I grab my place in line and Brianna quickly squirms in my arms, letting me know that she wants down. I glance around and there isn't anything she can get into, so I set her down and immediately her and Gabriella set off to do their sister dance (Gabby playing with Brianna loudly and showing her off to the other customers. She's a great big sister.)
As they're playing I notice that Brianna didn't just go in her diapers...she in fact had diarrhea and it is actually all over her pants and top. Ugh. Oh boy..
Well.. she DOES have a sweatshirt on, I'm sure no one will notice. We'll just mail these packages and drive straight home.
Gabby and Brianna continue to play and Brianna gets sight of the windows (or at least I thought.) She toddles over to the large floor windows and begins to pick up speed. Every one is cooing over the two girls and how well they play together. I'm smiling, thankful that they are far enough away that no one can smell Brianna.
Then it happened. Brianna did not stop toddling. She toddled/ran straight into the window and fell to the ground. Oh boy.
She lets out a scream and I head over to her, pick her up and start rocking her.
"Mommy!" (Gabby)
"Yes honey?" I'm still rocking Brianna.
"Brianna has blood coming out of her nose."
Umm. Oh boy. At that moment - with 20 people in line staring at me, I notice the blood coming out of her little tiny nose, the diarrhea all over my arm, and a smell that would have cleared any sinus.
Let's go home, honey."

One Year Update
Brianna turned one on November 20th! We can't believe how quickly this year flew by. Having two children is VERY different than one- it felt like I could hardly give each of them the attention that I wanted. Every time I played with Gabriella, Brianna accomplished another milestone behind my back. Oy.
At her 12 month check up the doctor said she's doing great! She is certainly big - 97th percentile for height and 95th percentile for weight. She weighed 25lbs, 7 oz and was about 32 inches long. She's walking (almost running), climbing up, climbing down, slides down small slides by herself, and she is expanding her vocabulary. At present:
Mama = Mommy
Dada = Daddy
Gaga = Gabby
Dahee= Doggy
Kih-Kah = Kitty Cat
Bah-Bye = Bye Bye
Baba= Baby
Bup (my favorite) = Up
Na or Nana = Nurse
Dat = that or there or I want that, or take me there, or ....etc etc..
Ball = Ball
She is very clear in what she wants and is not shy about having a temper tantrum to express her dissatisfaction over a situation. (It's actually pretty darn cute.)
In honor of her first 12 months, I'll share the top 12 things that I love about her (in no particular order):
1. I love seeing the little curls grow out of your head. After a bath, especially, your hair looks extra curly and it's aDORable. While I never had the luxury of having curls, I now get to play with yours!
2. I love how you play games and tease me. When I want to put a diaper on you, you like to walk over, lay on your back, smile, then get up and run away. Pretty. Darn. Cute. and smart, if I do say so myself.
3. I love your love of food.
4. I love how you pant whenever you want to nurse. It cracks me up.
5. The enduring wrinkles on your thighs. I love them. Each. One.
6. I love that you say "bye bye" and wave every time I pick you up.
7. I love cosleeping with you and that you like to face me with your legs bent up like a little lima bean.
8. I love that you give the "all done" sign language sign when you are finished with your food and then when I pick you up out of your high chair you *always* reach to grab one last bite of food (or as we call it, a roadie.)
9. I love that, if you are able, you will always try and pull every last tissue out of the kleenex box. Every. last. one.
10. I love how much you love your sister. I love that you try to do everything that she does - drink from a cup, sit at the table, read a book, etc...
11. I love that you go and find your shoes for me to put on.
12. I love waking up in the morning and finding you trying to give me a kiss (your wide open mouth on my cheek.)
Happy first year big girl! We love you!!

Age 11 months, 4 days
Brianna is officially a walker. After taking her first steps at 9 months, she is now successfully walking regularly. Someone told me once that "You're second one gives you a run for your money" and they were right! She is nonstop!
Her words include: Mama, Dada, Dahee (doggy), Kih-kah (Kitty Cat), and Baa (for "Bad Baby") Stew and Gabriella like to sing a variation of the Cops song 'bad boys bad boys' to her but instead of "bad boys" they sing "bad baby." It's pretty cute and I don't think it will scar her for life so I'm just rolling with it. With child number 2 that is pretty much my viewpoint on most things..."Hmm will this scar her for life? No? Great then we're good." My standards have lowered a bit! ;)
Here are some recent pictures of her. In the first one she is showing off her 4 teeth. (She has 4 more that have just broken through her gums on the top and bottom! Poor kid, 4 at once hurt pretty bad..)

Pumpkin Farm
Age 10.75 months
Brianna and family went to the Pumpkin Farm the other weekend. I'm not sure why we call it a farm... we never actually saw the pumpkin patch. It's really a carnival, with rides, popcorn, games, etc. This was Brianna's first visit. She spent most of the day in the stroller watching her big sister explore and play. She was completely mesmerized. Eventually she, of course, became tired of sitting around (she is a MOVER) and wanted to get out and stretch her legs. Here are some pics of her with the pumpkins...

Bathtub
Age 10.5 months
Brianna loves taking baths. Usually she and her sister take baths together (and Brianna has MUCH more fun when her big sister is with her!) She has recently developed the habit of holding things in her mouth so that her hands are free (as illustrated in this picture!) Her walking abilities have really flourished as well. She can take 5-8 steps in a row at this point!

First trip to Serbia
September 21, 2010
Age 10 months, 1 day
Brianna has been enjoying Serbia with her hearty appetite, social personality, and thigh wrinkles that will charm anyone.

Yes, there was even a 'bounce house' play arena a few blocks from where we stayed.
Brianna comfortably passed out in Cousin Tibor's arms.

Age 9 months, 1 week
Brianna took her first steps tonight! She is growing just so fast- Stew prefers to call her "4 wheel drive" because she charges through anything/everything to reach her desired destination. She also continues to be a fabulous eater. She has yet to decline any food that is offered to her. Tonight she had some blueberries that were fairly tart. Every time she put them in her mouth she wrinkled her nose and puckered her mouth in response. She clearly didn't like them... but that didn't stop her. She ate all of the blueberries.
She enjoys making cute noises and will try to mimick us with sounds. I have to say, she's pretty darn cute!!

Talking
August 16, 2010
Almost 9 months old
Brianna continues to be a joy and shocks us everyday with her developments! The other day she "cruised" for the first time - she walked while holding on to the couch. We also suspect that she is saying "Da da" and "Ma ma" directed, appropriately, towards Stew and I. Tonight her speaking abilities were confirmed. Tonight she saw one of our cats and she said, "Ki-Kah." I was floored! I tried to videotape it, but of course she stopped when the camera turned on...
Our little genius.

July 2010
I asked Gabriella to sort her laundry in her bedroom. She happily agreed to do so. I was so proud of her. When I heard Brianna begin to cry I quickly came in to scoop her up so that Gab could continue to do her laundry.
My angellic and responsible 3 year old apparently decided to put her baby monkey sister in a cage. Brianna was miserable. Sorry baby sister.

Age 8.5 months
Brianna is such a fabulous baby. If I had to pick two words to describe her, they would be: calm and curious. I hope these qualities stay with her throughout her life. She is also persistent. As she explores our home I may try to gently redirect her to something else. She may placate me for a few minutes, but soon enough she is crawling back to the forbidden area. I can't help but smile at her tenacity. Similar to when she was a newborn - she hardly cries - still preferring to whimper. Super cute.

Brianna-isms
July 14, 2010
Age 7 months, 3 weeks
Brianna now has two little teeth in the bottom of her mouth. We first noticed them about a week ago. She is developing so much faster than G did (she didn't get her first tooth until she was 10 months old.)
Brianna also likes to say "mamamama." I know that she is probably saying it indiscriminantly but both Stew and I, independently, noticed that she says it more frequently when she's crawling towards me... so I'm secretly hoping that "mama" is her first word!
We went to a July 4th barbecue last week. Brianna was eatting a cracker. I watched her take the cracker out of her mouth and put it on one of my friend's plates. I picked the cracker off of the friend's plate and put it back on my plate. Brianna then crawled over to my plate, picked up the cracker, and placed it back on my friend's plate. WHAT? This amazed me. (Only a mother..)
Brianna now has her own little crib. :( Up until now she was sleeping next to my bed in a little makeshift cosleeper, or in bed with us. Much to my disappointment, she transitioned really easily. She sleeps just as well in her crib as she does anywhere.
When Brianna is angry or frustrated, her whole body collapses (shoulders fall, head droops down, hands on floor) and she begins to cry. It is .... the... cutest... thing... ever...

Age 7 months
Brianna is zooming through developmental stages (in my opinion!) She was just introduced to solid food this past month and she is already eating multiple jars at a time. This blows my mind because Gabriella was 10 months and still hating food.
She also just started to sit up this past month and is already crawling (slowly!) Stew calls her a turtle because when she falls backward she can't go anywhere. For some reason she doesn't like to roll from back to tummy, so when she is on her back, she's stuck. It's actually pretty convenient!
In terms of weight/height - she's still huge... Officially wearing 18-24 month clothes. The other day Gabriella was wearing a 3T shirt that seemed tight on her. I took it off and put it on Brianna - it fit perfectly! I think this shirt was unusually small for a 3T, but nonetheless I never thought I'd be taking clothes off Gab and putting them directly onto Brianna!

Age: Almost 6 months
Brianna, our adorable bundle of love, now weighs close to 21 lbs. The teachers at her daycare gently suggested that she is probably ready for solid food. (AKA, she's big and hungry.) We were going to start her at 6 months, so we figured a few days early certainly wouldn't hurt. Here is a video clip of her with baby oatmeal. Feeding Brianna for the first time was a VERY different experience than feeding Gabriella. Please note the arm reaching for the spoon:

4 month photo!
March 2010
Age 4 months
Brianna's 4 month doctor appointment was probably typical for a second born. Healthy? Yes? Great! Thanks! See you in 2 months.
Of course, in true family style, Stew, my mom, Gabriella, and I were all crowded in the doctor's office eagerly waiting to hear what we already knew - that she's doing just fine. The funny part of the visit was that the doctor had to remeasure Brianna because she thought the nurse made a mistake. Nope. She's just that huge. I thought "off the charts" was just a figure of speech- but there really is a chart that the kid can go off of in the doctor's office. Who knew?
She was 27.25 inches long and weighed 18.4 oz. Gabriella didn't weigh this much until she was almost 12 months old.

Brianna is now 3 months old! We had a weigh-in at the doctor's office the other day (during Gabriella's 3 year check up.) Brianna weighs 16lbs, 10oz. What? I have to buy her diapers today and had a hunch that we had to go to size 3 already, but was denying it. I've been squeezing her little belly into the size 2 diapers long enough... :(
Man is she a happy baby! She smiles ALL the time and is so social with everyone... if I could just keep her tiny for a little bit longer...

Almost 3 month update
As we are approaching 3 months, I figured I'd do a quick update on some of Brianna's idiosyncrasies. Pictures coming...
1. Prefers to whimper rather than cry.
2. Prefers pooping in freshly changed diapers. Her favorite is fresh diapers immediately following a bath.
3. Not a huge fan of the pacifier but loves to nurse... becomes frustrated when she realizes that her hand does not produce milk.
4. Beginning to outgrow 6 month clothes... she's been wearing 9 month clothes for a while now..
5. Smiles *all* the time! Loves to scream and squeal!
6. Enjoys baths...even tolerates the transition from warm bath to cold room without complaint. (Big sister used to SCREAM!!) However, unlike big sister, see #2.
7. Wants to be where the action is... will whimper until brought into the room where her sister is playing.

2 Month Doctor Visit
Brianna had her 2 month doctor visit today. She weighed in at 14 lbs, 6 oz, and was 24.2 inches long. She is much bigger than her sister was at this age (Gabriella was only 12 lbs at her 2 month doctor visit.) The doctor said that she is doing great! She received three shots today in her thighs. She handled them like a trooper (actually, she screamed bloody murder..) She is now vacillating between sleep and tears. Every time she changes position it hurts her little thighs and she starts screaming again. Poor thing...

Brianna Update
1/8/09
Brianna is now 7 weeks old. She will have her two month doctor's visit the week after next. Her sleeping has improved - she now goes to sleep around 10:30pm and will usually sleep until 3am. This is GREAT! I didn't experience this type of sleeping until Gabriella was almost two years old! :)
She is beginning to coo and smiles all the time. She is awake during the day more than she had been in the past. She tracks movements really well and enjoys a good snuggle with Mommy or Daddy.
Pictures to come!

Happy New Year!!
Brianna, now 6 weeks old, continues to pack on the pounds and amazing Mommy, Daddy, and Oma with her new developments - the latest being her continual smiling! Gabriella didn't REALLY smile until she was at least 8 weeks old, so we're thrilled to have such a smily baby at this stage! The funny thing is that only 4 days ago we could hardly keep her awake - she slept for about 21 hours/day, only waking for 10 minutes here and there to eat!!
Here's a little clip of a smile...
