I'm proud to announce that I now have both a baby and a brother, whatever that means!
Bryce Patrick Tully was born on Sunday, August 17, 2014 at 11:09pm, five days late to the game, weighing in at 8lbs, 8oz. Mom said she was going to do a sit in at the hospital until they took the baby out, and it seems like her plan worked.
Here's baby Bryce. You'll notice that his newborn hat is too small for his head- evidence of the (in)famous Tully dome!

I was feeling a little stunned in this pic- can you tell?
Here's me meeting Bryce for the first time:
Bryce is a sweet little angel (according to Mommy) and I'm sure that someday we'll be the best of friends. And/or, we'll beat the crap out of eachother! Either way, I'm so happy that he's here, and so are Mommy and Daddy.
I love rocking Bryce, covering him with blankets, and pointing out his eyes, toes, etc!
We are all catching up on our sleep around here, so I'm going to cut this short, but stay tuned for more updates from me and Bryce!
I must have the best parents in the world. My 17 month birthday came and went like any other day and I was none the wiser until Mimi showed up with some cupcakes the next day to 'celebrate' (gluten free, Trader Joes. I ask you- were those for me as she claimed they were?).
Anyway, here's how I spent my non-existent birthday:
I played with my PEOPLE and some of my favorite books:
And splashed around in the backyard.
Generally speaking, life is good. We went to see mom's friend Mengan (that's what I call her, but she goes by Meaghan) who has TWO babies. The only thing interesting about those babies were their babas and pacifiers, which I picked up from every crevice I could find and chewed on.

These days, my favorite thing to do is PLAY. I could spend hours with my little people. They all have names like Bride, Nino, Pilot and Glasses.
I put them to sleep, (in a box, covered in a white rag, mommy says its very creepy but is supportive of anyone sleeping). Sometimes they even sleep with the livestock from my farm. I often pile all 15 of my people and farm animals into my schoolbus and Paula says that this bus must be from her country.
With my people and my blocks
I have some larger FRIENDS like Pete (the half dead dog from Cracker Barrel that Mimi got me), Monkey, Meow-Meow, and Minnie (not mommies for those of you in the know). Tonight, daddy put me in my bed and as soon as he left, I saw that he had made the critical error of leaving Monkey and Meow Meow on the ground. I alerted him immediately by shouting GUYS!!! GUYS!!! Luckily, he thought I was referring to him and Mommy, so he came back in right away and I pointed to my forgotten friends and he put them in bed with my 50 other friends. (Paula says I need a bigger bed to house everyone)!
I've also been loving COOKIN (mommy says thank God- maybe one of us will learn). Here is me whipping up some dinner with my very own pots and pans:
My new pots!
Mommy and I are working on our sad faces- what do you think?
Here's a clip of me spotting a truck out in front of our house:
