Three month update

Another month has come and gone and once again I'm stunned by how quickly it's flown by. Brianna continues to grow every day and every day she's becoming more alert. She's generally a very happy baby and these days will lie on her back and tell stories for a solid hour. She loves to talk to anyone who will pay attention to her when she's in a chatty mood.

Another blogging mom recently made a list of all the names she calls her daughter, and it made me realize how infrequently Brianna actually hears her full name. So following suit here is a list of all of Bri's nicknames so that they never get forgotten:
1. Bri
2. Sweet Pea
3. Sweet Bri
4. Baby girl
5. Squirmy
6. Squirmy Worm
7. Cupcake
8. Monkey
9. Little girl
10. Stinky Cheese
11. Little Cheese
12. Fresh Cheese
13. Baby Bri
14. Bright eyes
15. Sweetie pie
16. Milk face
17. Milk beard

Recently Brianna has become a big fan of Raffi, and falls asleep to his 'Quite Time' album almost every time. I have fallen in love with his song 'Blessed be', the lyrics of which are below. Of course when I sing it to her I always change Baby dear to Baby Bri :)

Baby dear, blessed be
your shining light
Baby dear, blessed be
your morning smile
Baby dear, blessed be
your gleaming eyes
Blessed be this precious child
Our beloved baby dear

Baby dear, we will love
with all our might
Baby dear, we will
comfort you at night
Baby dear, with all
the love we’ve got
We’ll be there for you
Oh blessed be our newborn babe

So dream on,
sweet dreams tonight
And we’ll dream too
a future clean and bright
Dream on, soon you’ll be
standing strong and free
Oh blessed be our newborn babe

Baby dear, blessed be
your shining light
Baby dear, blessed be
your morning smile
Baby dear, with all
we’ve got to give
We’ll be there for you
Oh blessed be our newborn babe,
Blessed be the hopes
and dreams of our baby.

I don't have too much more to update, but here is her monthly picture:
