Just Bethany :)

The day she was born!!

And, here’s what she is now!!

This is the outfit I got her for her birthday!

I can’t believe Brookyln will be a year old in less than a month!!  Here’s her most recent photoshoot with her parents.  Don’t worry, I will take tons when I’m out there for her birthday!

• My family.  Sure, they annoy me…most of the time, but they really are great people and I am thrilled to have them in my life.
• Hockey.  Does that sound lame?  Probably.  But, guess what?  It’s something I love and I can’t help but love it.
• Columbus Blue Jackets, yes, this is something different than hockey.  They have given me the unique opportunity to be in the locker room with them.  It’s given me a chance to spread my wings as a reporter.
• Derick Brassard, Jake Voracek, and Steve Mason for giving Jackets fans hope.  *Nikita we keep waiting for you!*
• My niece!  She’s absolutely gorgeous, and I adore her more than anything!  I am so lucky to have such an amazing little girl in my life.

• My car.  It gets me from point a to point b and it is a trooper.
• Kelley.  I don’t know what I would do without her.  She’s my best friend and I can count on her for ANYTHING!
• My job.  I work with the best people in the world.  They are great people, and are like my sisters.  I am so lucky to have a great job and people I can count on.
• My math test taking skills.  I got a 90% on a math test the other day.  It was the greatest.  True. Story.
• My cousins baby, Caden Cash.  He was born two months early, and thankfully he is doing remarkably well, and will be going home soon.  My cousin is diabetic so he weighed 6 pounds 2.3 oz.  He is absolutely beautiful and they are so lucky to have a healthy baby!

I think she knows she’s cute.  I adore her, and love that she looks like my brother!!

I seriously love this little baby.  She makes my life happy, and I miss her way too much.

That face cracks me up!!

She’s so happy!!

 Isn’t she gorgeous?!  LOVE HER!!

I seriously have to say my niece is so dang cute!!  She has quite the personality for a three week old.  Here are some of my favorite things to do with my niece:

• Cuddle her while she sleeps, when she is awake, there is no way she will cuddle, she loves knowing what’s going on.
• Feeding her a bottle, she loves to eat.  She is so cute and just stares at you while you feed her, it’s a fun time.
• I love asking her about my babies, most of the time she cries, I think that means my kids are going to be rotten.
• Helping with her bath.  She loves getting a bath!!
• Talking to her.  She gives the silliest looks.
• Seeing her cry, okay, so I don’t like it that much but she looks so cute when she cries!!

And for all of you wanting more pictures!!  Here is one more!!  I will post more tomorrow!!

Brooklyn June Porter
