Brylee's Room Part II

Update on Brylee's room. Yesterday while visiting with my McFadden Family, Faith & Helen were showing me Helen's new room. I love the colors and the room is very cute. One of the pictures were lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

When I got home I was just relaxing & I had a thought! Brylee's room needs something on the walls. Remember this is a room that will go through many changes over the next few years. One idea is putting the first initial of each grandchild(ren) on the walls. Making the letter "B" is on Bryan's list of things to do over the next few months.

The room still needed something. Simple. FUN. Inexpensive. Then I thought of the lanterns. I text Helen to be sure it would be okay to use the idea & she thought it would be cool.


I could not find a dark purple so I went with the Black & White. (the accent color in Brylee's room is dark purple) It still works & if I come across a purple lantern later I can always pick it up.


I text a picture to Bryan & Jenn and asked, "any bets on how long it takes Brylee to pull them down" Jenn text back something like you want to bet how long it will take me to put them in my room??? I do remember Jenn wanting lanterns too.

Now to make or have someone make a pillow out of the stripped material I have left over.

Thanks Faith & Helen for sharing the idea. Now every time I look into Brylee's room I will think of you guys. Wish I had a picture of how cute your lanterns turned out. I would add it to the post.

Brylee Trait

Well we have figured out one of Brylee's little personality traits. LACK of PATIENCE! Yep, Lack of Patience. Here are a few reasons why we think this. Remember her birthday was to be around December 15th. She was born on November 18th. When Brylee is ready to eat it is right now! No subtle warnings, no small hungry cries, NOW! The third one we are watching is her walking before crawling! Brylee has always loved to stand. Her & B-PA/Poppy have a game they play where she is standing and she will slightly bend her knees & he will push her off above his head like she is a rocket. This can go on for a good 5 mins. Yesterday I put her on the floor standing with her holding my fingers. She stood there & then took a step out with one foot, balanced & then again. Now I'm not saying she was walking but, she knew what to do with those little feet.
So as you see, Patience is not one of her strong points. So what else will we find out about this little girl's personalty in the days to come............ Stay Tuned.

This is the Life

Brylee came & spent the night with us on March 6th. That morning I cleaned up all of Jennifer's baby's toys so that she could look at them. Let's see are we ready? Toy Box, check. Bounce sit, check. Gym Mat, check. Diapers & wipes ready, check. Looks like we are now ready for Ms Brylee.

That evening I laid a quilt down so we could do tummy time. Not one of her favorite actives. I put out a few toys in front of her to look at. Right now she has to wear mittens so she can not do a lot of touch & feel. Her nails are like her T-MA's and they are thin & sharp no matter how short they are. But we will deal with that task as well.

Brylee is so sweet. She has learned to watch movement & TV is one of the movements. I put her on the quilt and we turned on Happy Feet & Snow White. Believe it or not she enjoyed it until she got hungry & man did we have to move fast to get her bottle. It was a peaceful evening & fun watching Snow White.

Sunday I woke up to her little noises. She makes noises at night but when she is getting hungry they seem to get a little louder. Well I got up & started her bottle & went to pick her up for her bed. I looked down & the Sun was shining @ 4:30 AM @ the Jarvis FunHouse! Let me tell you she had the sweetest smile on her face even if you are not a morning person you would have smiled. Well the morning was simple. Diaper change, bottle, nap, diaper change, watch cartoons, change clothes before mommy & daddy got here, bottle & nap. What a life!

NOTE: Yesterday (03/27/10) we added a high chair & an activity center for Ms Brylee. It's official, Ms Brylee has TAKEN OVER THE HOUSE!
