So in honor of the new year I am going to start blogging more often (hopefully). I guess I will start with Brisa's birthday party. It was a ton of fun. That fun was a lot more time and money than I had originally thought it would be, but once I started planning I really couldn't stop. Brisa loved being the center of attention, every time someone new would come in she would run up to them and let out the most excited squeal. During the whole part she would run around in the middle of the living room and make everyone clap for her. My baby loves to be the center of attention! I wonder where she gets that?
All the decorations.
Loving her new bike!
yummy green cupcake.
What does the blue one taste like?
120 balloons in case you were curious
Tired and ready to go home.
So now that Brisa is a year old life in the Bunn household has gotten a million times better! Brisa's room has been transformed into a toddlers dream! She has tons of toys, a table to sit and draw at, and her favorite thing, music! We have started spending a lot more time in her room and as a result she is much easier to take care of. She will even hang out in there with Chad while I make dinner, which is a huge step from the crying at the baby gate she used to do anytime either one of us tried to go in the kitchen. She loves getting her toys out, and sometimes loves to put them away. She loves dancing around to the primary songs cds that my mom gave us. She loves playing with all of her stuffed animals. She loves to run in and out of her room screaming while you chase her. And when she isn't doing any of that she is getting all of her clothes out of the hamper and trying to put them on while wearing her stacking rings as bracelets. So basically her room is our favorite place in our apartment at the moment!
Her shoe collection (more shoes than daddy)
Playing Piano at her table
Her bike and wagon.
Her toy shelves and the toys that wouldn't
Brisa is turning out to be a very good eater! She will eat just about anything we give her, as long as it isn't broccoli. One of her favorite things to eat is hamburger. She will pick all the meat out of her spaghetti, or tacos, or anything else with meat in it. Last night we ended up just giving her the meat sauce because she threw most of the noodles off her tray and onto the ground. She also LOVES olives. She was introduced to them while eating enchiladas a while back, but she fell in love with them at Chad parents Christmas party in Fresno. She loves to put them on her fingers and eat them off. since then she has turned into an olive eating fiend. At her birthday party she went up to everyone with a plate and pretty much demanded that they give her their olives. But hey, she was the birthday girl so I guess she deserved them!
She says "hi" and waves at everything and everything (including walls). She loves dogs and it is one of the few words she knows how to say. She also knows how to say mom and daddy and hey. She uses the word "hey" when someone walks by her without looking or talking to her. She is so used to our family giving her tons of love and affection, that when someone doesn't she notices and demands that they pay attention to her. She has also started whispering lately. I'm not sure where she learned it because Chad and I are both very loud people, but she loves to whisper.
Brisa loves kisses. Every morning when she wakes up Chad and I bring her into our bed to snuggle/sleep for a couple more hours. And every morning she grabs my face and makes me give her tons of kisses. Se has even started giving me kisses randomly during the day. She will just come over and pucker her little lips and kiss me right on the mouth. I have tried to give her my cheek and she is not satisfied. I have to pucker my lips and make the kiss sound, or she wont stop. She also has started giving me hugs. today I was picking up all of the puzzles She dumped our and she came from behind and wrapped her little arms around me and rested her head on my back and whispered "hi". It was so cute, I thought my heart was going to explode!
