More Brianna Love

I am so happy to announce that Friday was the day that Brianna and I ventured back to Target following our disaster Monday and it was a SUCCESS!  My baby girl SAT IN THE CART, earned some M&M's and as we were leaving I stopped by the customer service desk (where they DO have a "lost and found" as I mentioned in my previous post) and they had her kiki!!!! We all left happy.  Now... this wasn't a trip that Mommy got to browse the fabulously fun dollar bin or the outside sections for fun clearance finds.  We went in on a mission and left with the few things that were needed.  I just need to accept the fun Target trips will be a treat when I make it out of the house alone.  And I'm okay with that.  

Above are the pictures following this successful trip and you can see the fun Easter container or mini M&Ms and her kiki happily in her arms.  You know those cute cart covers?  They were a FAVORITE of mine until this toddler stage.  While I still wipe the cart down to the best of my ability there is no possible way that I can manage to get the cart cover on before wrestling my curly headed strong willed cutie into the cart herself.  I won't lie... seeing her in the cart without our cover makes me cringe.  But this is another thing that this Mommy will just have to get over!

I posted this next picture on Facebook.  Tara and Baby Graham visited our house a couple weeks ago and Brianna was obsessed with his car seat.  We have now temporarily repurposed ours as a toddler chair.  She loves it.  Toddlers are weird :)  She is wearing her dress up Sleeping Beauty dress and holding one of her favorite blankies.  How wrong is it that I think this is cute?  

Which leads me to another thought.  I love how I can't say Graham's name without saying "Baby Graham".  I think that nickname will stick for a while.  Some of Brianna's cousins still call her "Baby Bri" and I love it.  

This next picture is Brianna "reading" her special book from her Aunt Kimmie.  For those of you who don't know, Brianna's Aunt Kimmie lives in South Carolina.  But Kim thought ahead.  When I was pregnant with Brianna she recorded one of those Hallmark books (about a princess- fitting if you know my bestie) and I would play the book for my belly even before she was born.  Kim wanted Brianna to know her voice.  And she does.  And I think that is awesome.  Brianna is finally old enough to go grab this book off the shelf and have her Aunt Kimmie read her this story.  She knows how to turn each page just right so we hear every word.  And Kimberly.... just so you know... she hugs the book :)  

Is anyone judging me because there is a potty in our living room?  If not, maybe you would like to judge me because potty training scares me.  I like diapers.  A lot.  Public restrooms with a little one that touches everything is not my idea of fun.  So for now we are learning about the potty.  Occasionally sitting on it.  Or putting a dolly or stuffed animal on it.  And making it sound like a lot of fun.  So... sometimes the potty ends up in our living room.  

And one more iPhone picture of a sleepy girl.  I love this little profile and chunky cheekers! 

Have I mentioned I love her?  She lights my world.
