A little Brylee update

Ryan pointed out that its been a while since I posted about how "#5" has been progressing. I guess Ive fallen into the pit of only blogging about the big events that go on in our life, and forgot about the little things, and possibly the most important, and precious things that get overlooked in life. (Is that a run on sentence?)Well, I think the last post Brylee got all to herself was when she learned to sit all by herself (back in July). What is she doing now, you might ask?
Well...still sitting. A bit more stable. Brylee has been our latest to develop new tricks. She is just easy goin', happy and content. I guess she just hasnt felt the need to crawl, or stand or even sit up all on her own. Could this be due to the fact that she has 4 of her very own personal assistants around to help her reach, eat or sit up whenever she needs? I dont know, but she seems happy either way.
But we cant forget about the other, smaller milestones that she cant help but reach. Like enough hair to sport her own little piggy tails, or horns as I like to call them. (I am officially entering her into the smallest piggy tail contest thats been going on in blog world!) Or being able to eat a ritz cracker...even while falling asleep. Stay strong!
The cracker won. And another joyous talent learned...pulling out all the wipes from the box. She was pretty proud of that one.
Another of her favorite new pastimes, playing peek-a-boo with a blanket.
Peek-a-boo!
Wait for it...
Peek-a-boo!
Oh yes, we cant leave out the fact that she has been working hard on growing. At her last appointment she was a whopping 17 lbs. 11 oz., 25% bigger than other kids her age! Pretty unexpected for one of our kids, but actually a little bigger than we are used to.
The doctor acted a little concerned at her lack of progression, but Im not going to worry until she is well past 1, and still hasnt moved from that spot on the floor. The biggest concern I had was that she hasnt ever cried tears. Not even when I leave her in her crib to cry to sleep, or when she has accidentally been whacked on the head, or givin a shot. Ouch! After contacting the opthamologist, she assured us that as long as her eyes arent dry, then everything is fine. Could she just be so laid back that she doesnt even care to shed tears? Only time will tell.
The next milestone...turning 10 months.
sniffle...sniffle.

Her piggytails are definitely the smallest. I just don't have the talent to get Chloe's into ponytails when it is that short. But Chloe is a year older and I still think she is pretty bald for almost 2. Who knows?

She is so cute and growing SOOOO fast. I feel like Chloe should be turning 10 months...what keeps happening to these babies?

I think her tiniest pony tail is very cute.....
Ryan was the one of my kids who the doctor did massages on his
little tear duct to get them to work.....(he was okay)...

She is getting so big, even if she doesn't do much yet (what a blessing, in a way, huh). I still think she is big. And so very cute!

wait, wait, wait, no tears? Hmm, that is very interesting, but somehow only adds to how stinking cute she is!! Too adorable.
