Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grandma Hodgson visit

On the 17th, the Hodgson clan was able to make it out to see our little darling. She was having a pretty difficult day.... one of her most fussy ones to date unfortunately! We did have a nice visit, but I hope the next one has a baby who is smiling a bit more! We were able to take pictures of the four generations... with Great Grandma, Grandpa, Rob, and Brianna! How cool is that!

A few pictures, just 'cause

Our little cutie!

My first wedding....

My friend Wendy got married on 8/8/08 and we've been invited since before Brianna was conceived! We had to go! And we did; Rob wasn't too thrilled about taking her at her age, but all went well. She was relatively well behaved, had to be nursed a few times, but otherwise was just adorable!! We had a chance to use our new stroller and everything..... And she had an excuse to get all dressed up-- I love dressing up- now I get to dress up my baby too! FUN!!!!

My first bottle!

Last week, "auntie" Kris came by to rescue me from my first 2 day rotation without Rob since Brianna's arrival!! I learned how to use my breast pump, then Kris gave her her first bottle! All went well..... "Auntie" Kris also taught her how to use a pacifier, which has come in VERY handy on a few occasions!! Rob has given her a bottle a few times as well... all preparation for my surgery next week... when I will have to be gone for a while! ( It's an outpatient procedure.)

Daddy's girl.......

Tummy time with Daddy!

Uncle Will and Alex visit

Uncle Will and Alex came for a visit last weekend to see our little girl. I think that she charmed Will with her beauty! She was of course in her camo..... Major Cutie!!

Brianna's first doctor's visit

Her first outing was to the doctor's office! She will not be an exibitionist, since as soon as her clothes were off she began screaming!! Now, remember, this was the first time that I had ever packed a diaper bag-- so I was missing important things like a pacifier.... and a blanket --so I was holding my screaming naked baby with a burp cloth trying to cover her body!! Poor little girl. Our pediatrician was really nice.... very soft spoken, didn't care at all that she was screaming through the whole exam. She had only lost 2 ounces since her birth which was great...... When we returned yesterday for her second visit she was 8 pounds 13 oz!! A porker!!! There's no problem with my breast milk I guess! On the initial exam, his only comment was WOW!! Look at those feet!- see Ali's blog for pictures of her feet! Our growing little girl! She's got the cutest chubby cheeks! But I'm not biased at all.......

First Bath

I think that Brianna can tell you in this picture that she's not too fond of her bath!! Mimi showed us how to do it and the little bear sponge helped a ton. Daddy saved the day afterwards!
