Looking like a toddler

Brianna is very hungry but keeps clapping away so feeding her becomes an adventure of its own Mischievious little smile
Brianna playing by the Christmas tree, the game consists of figuring out a way to take as many bows as possible from the tree. She can usually get about 4 or 5 bows out of the tree. She loves it!
 

Newly coiffed Brianna at 10 months old

Here's Brianna getting ready for her first haircut sitting on Mommy's lap The whole haircut experience took a whole 5 minutes and she did really great throughout playing with different styling gadgets. Here she is posing with my long time stylist, Darlene.
Oh, and before I forget, Brianna got a beautiful certificate to commemorate her first haircut. And we also brought home all her hair to make a Korean calligraphy pen.

La gorda ya aplaude / Clapping on cue

Hoy por primera vez le dijimos "aplaudi" y la gorda aplaudio furiosamente y se mataba de risa. Se lo dijimos varias veces en distintas situaciones y aplaudia igual. Yo le estuve ensenando esta palabra por varios dias para cuando visitemos a los abuelos en dos semanas. Aca esta la Bri en accion, aplaudiendo...

Brianna started clapping on cue today. Mommy has been teaching her how for a few days now and today she did it a few times in different situations. We gave her lots of possitive reinforcement so she'll feel accomplished and keep doing it.

Her favorite time: walking w/ Mommy & Daddy

A beautiful winter afternoon...

An afternoon at the park

On Sabbath we spent a crisp winter afternoon in the park with our favorite photographer, Janelle Dye. And Brianna was positively the reason for almost 500 photos, most of them terrific.
It was very hard to choose which pics to post, but this one is a favorite: matching mommy and baby girl. Lucky us, the fake fur kept us warm when it got a bit chilly.
This is Daddy's favorite... we might make a card out of this picture.
Yes, Brianna, already an adrenaline junkie, loves to fly high, hence her nickname Brianna "Six Flags" Pierson. She can't wait to go flying with G'pa Pierson in his plane!!

Pulte's Year End Celebration/Fiesta Anual de Pulte (trabajo de Jer)

'Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" was the theme for the year end party at Jeremy's job We enjoyed a very yummy meal at the Temecula Creek Inn
and sat at the same table with our friends Brandon and Janette Ritz
New friends Biren and Harina Shukla

Brianna meeting Uncle Scott and Auntie Patricia

It was great meeting Scott and Patricia on their way back from Texas and on their way home to Calgary. We wanted them to get a taste of California so we took them to Claim Jumpers. We had fun visiting and tried very hard to finish the HUGE portions served to us ... but couldn't. Brianna, in the meantime, had so much fun exploring the restaurant by walking with Mommy. As you can see, she is a happy girl!

Happy B-day to Camila and Giovanna Burgos!

Brianna's good friends, Camila and Giovanna Burgos, had a birthday party in Indio. Camila turned 3 and Giovanna turned 1. It was busy keeping up with near 20 kids under the age of 5. Brianna crawled all over the place and played with lots of new friends and toys as well. Time to blow the candles and eat a yummy carrot cake
Adorable Baby Santiago

Don't get on the bad side of Gianni!! Just kidding, actually, he's a happy child ... and sooo cute!

Good times

Gramee and her favorite grandaughter yet! We got a chance to meet up with our good friends Eric and Tonya Kamaloni. They live in Napa and drove down to Visalia for Thanksgiving to be with family. We hope to visit them up there soon after the New Year
An ever so brief serious moment
Bri got this toy plane from G&G. It's now her favorite toy and she pushes it around the house all the time. Maybe some day she'll pilot her own plane like G'pa Ken
