Brinley Meets Santa
I took Brinley to meet Santa and it went pretty much as expected. That fluffy beard, big red cheeks, bowl full of jelly lap it’s all a little scary. There was only one person in front of me and no one behind me so I took my time warning Santa of her floppy body and [...]
Oh Christmas Tree!
We put up our Christmas Tree Thanksgiving weekend, and it was so much fun to see Brinley’s reaction. Mainly she just likes to stare at it as if she’s not quite sure what it is. Here’s a couple of pics and there are more in the Fall ’09 folder.
Cute Glasses…Why Don’t They Stay on your Face?
I’ve added some pictures of Brinley in her glasses just click photos and glasses. They are so cute! However, I would like to let the whole world know about how terrible Standard Optical is. So here goes… When I found out Brinley needed glasses I talked with my insurance and then talked with several stores. [...]
Halloween 2009
This year I was very excited to get Brinley dressed up and enjoy our first Halloween with her. She went as a not so happy bumble bee. She actually was quite content most of the time. She just didn’t get what all the excitement was about. I had a little pail that was the perfect [...]
One Very Fancy Chew Toy
If you haven’t checked out the Brinners Kicker 2.0 back up a few posts and have a look. Brinley has gotten used to the kicker and actually seems to like it quite a bit now. But ever since her bottom tooth started coming in she spends more time doing this than kicking…
More Pics Finally!
I finally have the last 3 months worth of pictures up. If you’re wondering why we have so many of Brinley playing with toys and laying on her tummy it’s for our documentation on her condition. We need them to compare to previous months to make sure she’s not losing any skills. When we [...]
9 Month Checklist
Brinley is now 9 months old!! I just can’t believe that we’ve gone from this.. to this… I thought this would be the appropriate time to update everyone on how Brinley’s doing and what’s new with her. I’m not sure how many of you understand how her disorder affects her. It mainly slows the communication [...]
Brinners Kicker 2.0
It’s our 100th blog post and what better way to celebrate than with the unveiling of the Brinners Kicker 2.0. In case you aren’t aware, Brinley doesn’t have the strongest stomach/back/neck muscles or at least can’t control them like she should. But she does have fairly strong legs and loves to kick off drawers, the [...]
It Ain’t All Bad
In the midst of all the challenges of raising a disabled child, I have discovered there are some pluses. Right up there with the handicapped parking is the fact that I can lay Brinley down almost anywhere without worrying about her getting hurt. For example, Brinley loves flat hard surfaces. The latest love is our [...]
