First Trip to the Dentist

Bryell went to the dentist for the first time. She did amazing!! We went to a place in Evanston that a friend of mine works at. I was referred there because of a tooth pain I have had for YEARS and this was the only dentist (after going to quite a few) that was able to solve my problem. I instantly liked the dentist so decided my family could go there as well. :)

It started out Bryell watching Jeffrey get his teeth cleaned. While she was watching him, they made her a balloon animal and painted her nails. This instantly got her to trust them. She got to go into her own big chair. They first made her go really really high up... and then they tilted her back... and she got to lay down under the lights. They brushed the balloon animal's (a puppy, named "puppy") teeth and then worked on hers. She opened her mouth when the asked and smiled and let them do everything they needed to do! I must admit, I was a proud mommy!

The last few months...

Hmmm.... where to start? A LOT has happened in the three months that it has been since I posted last.
First:
Bryell turned two! Her birthday was over Easter weekend so we celebrated it while back home for the holiday. Joel and Annie let us have the party at their house and we doubled it with Karlee's since her birthday is 5 days past Bryell's. It was really fun watching her play with the cousins, as this was the first time she actually played with them rather then played on her own and stared at them when they got too close. Her and Hailey are really close in age and watching those two play was really cute. Bryell definitely has a little attitude. You can definitely tell she is officially two now :)

Second:
We decided that when we were back home, it would be a good time to announce that we are expecting! Our due date is October first. We are expecting another little girl and are soooo excited about it! The first few months were really hard and nerve wrecking. We changed hospitals and went to a more 'up to date' clinic but plan on going back to our last doctor here soon. We have started slowly to transform the office into Bryell's new 'big girl' room. Here is a picture of me at 14 weeks:



Third:
Bryell is smart. She is beginning to know that she is Bryell. We were looking at a picture of Bryell and Jeffrey. I asked her who was in the picture and she said "daddy and me." I said 'Yeah, Daddy and Bryell." She replied, "My Bryell!" She does say my for any form of me or I.
