Happy Brielle

 Brielle is going through a stage where she won't smile for the camera when I try to take a picture. And most times if I want to take a movie of her, I have to do it sneakily.  So here's Brielle in real life - as seen in a few movies I've taken lately. I thought I had to share, since she is always scowling in every picture I take and post. I promise she is a happy, mostly always cheerful little kid.

I just thought this was cute.  She likes to look at our junk mail. :)

Here are the girls one evening a few weeks ago:

I've been teaching her sign language here and there and that has been fun and she loves being able to communicate.  Here she is doing the sign for "plane" that she notices while playing on our back patio.  Please note: I made up this sign off the cuff one day. So don't judge me if you know the real sign for plane. :)  

Here she is riding her little car.  She's getting really fast on it now.
