     Well it has been a busy two weeks, so I apologize in my delay getting updates. I went and had my pictures made on the 7th and they turned out wonderful. Mommy loves how I always smile for my pictures. We did some shopping and had all types of fun. On Monday the 9th I had a procedure done that wasn't much fun. See I was tongue tied when I was born. It wasn't really bad as I could eat and everything without difficulty, but it could cause speak problems in the future. So Mommy and Daddy decided to have a procedure done where the doctor cuts the cord under my tongue a little so that I can move it around. I was not asked my opinion about having this done, but I am just they baby. I couldn't eat any solid foods after 12pm the night before but could have clear liquids until 2am. Lucky Mommy's milk is considered clear. Not sure why because it so does not look clear to me, but I was happy I could have the good stuff. Mommy got up at 1:30am and feed me in my sleep. I wouldn't be allowed to eat again till after the procedure and I can get fussy when I am hungry. We were at the Women's and Children Center at Huntsville Hospital at 6:30am. We were taken back and I changed into a little gown and was given a nice warm blanket. No it was actually warm. I think they put it in the oven or something. Remind me to discuss this with Mommy, I think all my blankets should be heated this way. A nice lady even brought me a toy to play with. I was very happy and played well. All the nurses kept saying how pretty and happy I was. Then a little after 8am Mommy had to let a nurse hold me and wait in the lobby while I went to have my procedure done. I don't remember a lot about what happened next. They put this mask thing over me making me sleepy, but I stay awake. It is one weird feeling. The next thing I know I am in another room with a bunch of strangers and I am ticked. I am hungry and want my Mommy now! The nurse went and got my Mommy and when she came in to recovery I informed her I was not happy about what had just happened. The nurse said it was most likely my "blowing" the gas off they had gave me. All I know if the red hair plus Marcum/Holden in my came out. I was redder than my hair. I finally calmed down a little and went to another room where Daddy joined us. I finally nursed and went to sleep. I slept most the day and am now back to normal. It has been strange having this thing that moves around in my mouth. It is a lot of fun to play with. I like to stick it out of my mouth. I also have found a new trick of clicking my tongue. It is a lot of fun. Other than that the week has been pretty normal and slow.

     I hear another holiday is coming up called Thanksgiving. I can't wait to see what all fun stuff happens at this one. I haven't heard anything about candy, but supposedly a lot of food is involved. I know I will get to see both sets of grandparents for this holiday. I wonder if you dress up for this one too? This week I will get to see Grammie twice! She is watching me so Mommy can go to dinner with some of her old bosses and have a date with Daddy. I will be sure to fill you in on the wonderful adventures. Tonight we are having dinner with Ms. Debra so I guess I better stop typing and finish getting all my playing done before Mommy picks me up. I will write again soon. Promise.

Love,

Brianna
