Great trip to Argentina, Arrived safely

We had a great trip to Argentina. We arrive safe and sound with all our luggage. Here we are at LAX ready to start our adventure. A BIG thanks to Mike & Rachelle Bennie for taking us to the airport so early in the morning.

Here is Brianna playing on the plane. Everyone was amazed at how GREAT of a traveler she is. Well, she is almost a professional now, this being her 9th plane ride and 3rd international trip.

This was the first time Bri could get close to a jet plane engine. This is on the tarmack in Lima, Peru, during our lay over.

Since we were in Peru we though we'd try on some Llama wool hats. Of course, Brianna made them look great!

Bibi's parents were at the airport excitedly awaiting Brianna's arrival. Oh, they were glad to see us too.

Stay tuned... more to come.

This beautiful smile now has two upper front teeth

Yesterday I noticed that Brianna didn't have one but two upper front teeth coming out at the very same time... yeah!! I was becoming a little worried since there were no new teeth since she was 7 months old. But she's been busy, that's why, not only are there new teeth but she is all around more grown up, slimmer and 1 inch+ taller that's where all those fresh mangoes and bananas were going to!!!!

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.

Bonding time for Daddy's little girl Ticklish Brianna smiling for the camera

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!!

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!
