Hello this is Brianna's daddy Brian. Brianna is the most amazing little girl. She is very smart and laughs a lot. She loves to be held, she loves to go outside, she loves going on piggyback (shoulder) rides. She smiles, she sits up all by herself, she lunges for things that she sees in front of her. She is the happiest of all right when she wakes up and smiles when I come to get her out of the bassinet. She will do a few cute yawns and then is just so happy to be loved and held. Brianna just started eating rice cereal, but seems to prefer being nursed. She is always very excited anytime when she sees me or Chelsea after being gone for awhile. I love her and am so happy to be her dad; I am very fortunate. She is kind of fat but it is cute and it doesn't hold her back from playing. She now can be left with toys to play with and she will be content. She rolls from back to front a lot, but not the other way very much. She likes to stand up on my belly, lay down flat and kick her legs and wiggle around. She loves to see herself in the mirror, sit in the sink and look at the mirror. I work hard at Enterprise so Chelsea can stay at home with the Biz-nit. We are so happy to have her - I didn't think being a parent would be this cool. But it is. Anyways that is a little bit about Brianna as she turns 1/2 year old.
Note from Chelsea: Brian tends to suffer from "my-baby-is-perfect" syndrome that I see so many parents fall victim to. But while his glasses are rose-colored, I dont wear any. Ill be the first to admit that our little princess is NOT a stellar sleeper. She fusses a little before every nap, and wakes up at least once during the night. HELP! She also is a bit high-maintenance, wanting to be held and entertained at all times. And of course, we only reinforce that by giving in. =)
Just thought Id add that.
We love you Brianna! This has been the greatest 6 months of our lives so far!

She is so sweet, I especially loved reading what Brian wrote about her, that is so cute.
I adore her expression. She is so darn cute!
I think she's destined to grow into an amazing woman. I really think that the Lord is sending his strongest spirits down to families where they will be taught to be valiant. We should be honored to have such strong-willed babies/children (at least that's how I justify my crazy boys).
How cute! Happy birthday Brianna!
Hooray for 6 months! I hear that 6 months is a lot of people's favorite time with their baby! She is too cute sitting up like that! I love her raised eyebrows!
I hear what your saying about the bad sleeper! Grace is the same way. I guess we both just have some fighters! At least for now we only have one and can nap when they nap to catch up on sleep, at least that's what I tell myself!
Amanda - yeah, I understand why it would be a lot of peoples favorite time... learning new things everyday, getting more mobile... but Im really excited for the day I can say, "hey brianna, wanna race?" I think that will be my favorite age. :) And Id love to hear about your sleep issues and what youve done. Brianna is a decent napper - 2 or 3 a day, each about 90 min long. But she sleeps from 7:30-7:30, waking up at midnite and 5am to nurse. Grrrr.... Im tempted to let her cry herself back to sleep, like I did to help her learn to nap, but I hate doing that... especially when I can just browse blogs at midnite while I feed her :) Then, like you said, take a nap. Oh, wonderfulwonderful naps.... :)
Hey cute blog!! Where did you find that background? She is such a cutie!
Happy birthday tomorrow! Hope it's a wonderful day!
Brian did a super job with his post. Tell him for me. NOW - will he come and run Enterprise in Spokane and live close to his in'laws?
