NOT GOOD FOR JOGGING!

Pros: Easy To Setup, Smooth Ride

Cons: Wobbly Wheel

Best Uses: Walking only

Describe Yourself: Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)

Loved the color, loved the smooth ride and easy to push WHEN WALKING. I already have a travel system and wanted this one to jog with. HOwever when you jog even with the wheel locked the front wheel wobbles BAD! We read the instructions and it said to tighten the bolt when that happens so we did as the instructions says, did nothing!!! We talked to babies r us and they said baby trends are known to wobble because they are more for walking...WHY IS IT CALLED A JOGGER then? WE called baby trend too, because I liked it and wanted it to work for us. THe guy told me over time the bolt can get crushed and that's why I was having the wobble problem, I told him that it was brand new and happend the first time I ran with it, he then told me he could send me a repair kit to fix it, REALLY? DUDE it's brand new!!! NOT happy with it for a jogger!! You can't jog with it. I Read other reviews on baby trend and lots of people said the same thing! I am so dissapointed and taking it back.

(legalese)

Our growing girl!

Wow, time is flying by! Brielle is growing before our eyes! The other day my dad and I were talking and he said "I hope your enjoying the fleeding moments, she is changing a lot every day" REALLY DAD?? RUB IT IN! Honestly I enjoy her so much and I enjoy the moments a lot, but it seems like I just can't grab them and soak them up fast enough! It is SO bittersweet! I love this girl so much, she is our life! She makes me smile everyday!

Her new fascination is with the water running in the bathtub, she is mesmorized with it!

Her hair is getting so long I hardly know what to do with it, I don't like doing it in pigtails or pony tails because it makes her look so old!! She looks so cute with her curls though!

This cutie LOVES her bumbo!

Could they have posed anymore perfect? Bath time and getting dressed is good quality daddy time at our house, Nolan has all these games that he plays with her during bath and dressing time, she smiles and talks to him the WHOLE TIME. She sure loves her daddy!

Our big girl is a pro at rolling over now, and is doing much better on her tummy!

Silly girl...with a tiny mouth (seriously it is tiny!) Her hair is sticking up but you can't really tell in this picture!

Pretty Princess nightgown

This is Brielle in her pretty nightgown. My aunt Marla made it for her and it is so pretty! I love love silky fabric, I always have! I love tricot blankets and love to put them next to my face. My grandma used to make tricot ruffle dresses for us when we were babies, and this night gown reminds me of those. Thanks aunt marla for her princess nightgown!

She just wanted to hold it and put it in her mouth..just like her mommy!

Favorite Things

Some of my favorite things going on right now are first and foremost: These two people. I love them more than anything. I am so grateful for Nolan and all his hard work and the great dad that he is. I love that Brielle has his blue eyes and looks so much like him!


I LOVE this girls hair!! We can do all sorts of fun crazy things with it! One thing I don't like is that it is starting to lighten up :( I wanted it to stay dark but either way she is lucky to have such beautiful hair. I twisted it up all crazy and then turned to nolan and said "look daddy!" He busted up!

WE LOVE Bath time at our house!! Brielle has such cute chubby rolls and I just want to eat her up! Brielle has always loved her baths and right now she is obsessed with the faucet, she loves to feel the water as the bath fills up! She loves to kick and splash with her legs!

Cute nakey bum!

All clean and ready to go to bed! I love this girl!

Brielle's many faces

Seriously I can't get enough of this face!! Brielle is so fun and so happy! SHe makes all sorts of cute faces! I just kiss her cheeks a million times a day!
SERIOUSLY she couldn't get any cuter I am convinced. Everywhere we go strangers comment on how beautiful Brielle is. They always comment how much hair she has! A few times strangers have asked me to stop so they can see her and show the people they are with how cute Brielle is..a little awkward.
AM I BRAGGING? Heck yes I am. I am a proud mom and not afraid to show it!



CROSS EYED?

classic scrunch the nose smile!

This is so typical of Brielle, she is quite the spitter!

Look at those blue eyes..just like her daddy!

A team player and Brielle's accessories.

MY LITTLE BRONCO'S GIRL! Daddy loves the Broncos and Brielle is following in his footsteps. She actually loves watching football! She sits with daddy and looks at the t.v. so intently. She is a little cheerleader. GO BRONCOS!! Oh wait...we had a horrible season!

SHe is the smiliest baby! I love her! She is so freakin adorable and is soo much fun!

Brielle was born to a girly girl mom. Who actually makes bows. So poor girl has to be wearing a bow most of her days.

She doesn't mind them after they are on. (most of the time) but every day when I go to put it on, she is fussy until I stop messing with it, and it's in place. I layed out some of her bows to see what colors she needed and then I put Brielle next to them. NOlan was laughing at me, and couldn't believe how many we had...little did he know there was a whole other box in her room with the rest of her bows in it!

SOmetimes she will grab it and try to eat it, and this time her finger got stuck in the crochet band! HA HA
