Briley is now 7 months!

Can you believe Briley Renee is now 7 months? It is so scary to see time fly by as fast as it is. She is growing up WAY to fast! We went for her 6 month checkup recently. She is developing as expected. She weighs 16.5 pounds (50th percentile); 27 3/4in. tall (90th percentile); and has a 17in. head circumference (75th percentile). Things our little Miss Priss is doing: ~grabbing things within her reach~switching toys from hand to hand~giggling~sitting up without help but only for a few seconds~eating Stage 2 babyfood~bouncing in her jumper~becoming more aware of her surroundings~smiles when she sees a familiar face~pulls her bows off her head~drools constantly...I think we will have some wittle teeth soon!
Being a mother has taught me so many things! Over the past 7 months I have learned to be more patient and to never take anything for granted. Briley has helped me realize not to stress over the small stuff. I now cherish each & every minute with our little bundle of joy, even the wee hours of the morning!! Being a parent is one of the most amazing & rewarding gifts God has ever given me!! I am so blessed to wake up each and every morning to a healthy, smiling baby's face. People have always said there is no better love than the love of a child. Being a mommy now I can say... YES THAT IS TRUE!!! And now... of course... I have to post some pics from this past couple of months!!

oh please please add the video of Briley covering her ears to stifle the sound of a nagging mommie then she gives in and stands .. then walks. All I saw was her covering her ears and lowering her head which is too too funny!
