Update!

Hi everyone~Brielle turned 13 months old on January 16th. She is the light of our lives...in fact she's the light of many other eyes too...when we take her to church Sundays nobody can get enough of her...they argue over who can hold her. She is SO sweet and good-natured. She has 8 teeth and loves to eat everything. She says about 10 words. She is not walking yet...if she walks in the next 2 weeks she will be the earliest walker of our 5 kids, believe it or not! Our oldest dd was the 1st walker at age 14 months. Go, Brielle, GO! She stands up on her own, but won't take steps unless she has your pinky to hold onto! She gives kisses spontaneously and loves to cuddle...she just melts into you! Love this girl!!!

We just got a new digital camera so beware!!! I never tire of taking pictures of my favorite subject.

After those baby pictures of hers I didn't think it'd be possible but she just gets CUTER every day! She's always been precious, and I love to see your updates. Thanks for sharing!
