New Ride

Brynn's new trike is a huge hit.  We have to take it for a spin every night whether it is just round the pool area or all the way to the park.  She will stand next to it trying to climb in or ram it against the sliding glass door until you take her for a ride.  Brynn loves to go to the park and see all of the puppies.  The trike is the perfect distance from the ground as all of the puppies are at her level so she can pet them without having to get down. 

Lets Go!!

I love my tirke.



Mom, I think I need a bell and some streamers.



Higher!!

Uh-O Spaghetti-O

Brynn has become very animated lately.  Everything she does is with large gestures and strong emotions.  She knows what she wants when she wants it.  Brynn loves to be the center of attention and knows what to do to make everyone laugh.  Here are pictures from the other night when Brynn was being a little character. 

Brynn what did you do with your blanket?

I don't know.

Brynn where did your clothes go?

Uh-O!!



Do you have my clothes?



Look Whooo’s One!

I know I am late in posting pictures from Bynn’s 1^st birthday party – but better late than never.  It was a gorgeous day filled with fun, laughter, friends and family.  I was a little worried earlier in the day that Brynn was not going to make it through her party.  For some reason she fought going down for her afternoon nap.  Luckily, she crashed hard right before the party and made it through with a smile on her face. 

Everything turned out beautifully.  The backyard looked amazing, the decorations were hung, and the food was delicious.  It took Brynn awhile to warm up to her birthday cake.  In the end she only took a few bites and smeared the frosting all over her face.   

We were blessed with how many people were there to celebrate with us.  We are so happy that we traveled to Sioux Falls to celebrate Brynn’s first birthday with all of our loved ones, who made Brynn's day extra special.      

1 Year Old

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you.  Happy Birthday dear Brynn.  Happy Birthday to you.  I cannot believe that our little girl is already one years old.  It seems like just yesterday that we were setting up her nursery in anticipation of her arrival.  Brynn brings such joy to our lives.  She is so sweet and such a tender heart.  Her laugh is infectious and can bring a smile to anyone's face.  We love our baby Brynn and could not image life without her.  We love you. 

Its my birthday!

I Want To Play TOO

After watching us play many games of bean bags over the past weekend, Brynn wanted to play too.  She kept climbing on the boards and trying to fit down the bean bag hole.  What a silly girl!!

Ma-Ma’s Little Helper

After months and months of trying to get Brynn to say Ma-Ma she is finally calling my name.  It was so sweet when she finally said my name.  I was getting up to leave the room and she looked at me with this mysterious look and said “ma-ma” loud and clear.  She said it with this tone that was like Mom where do you think you are going? 

It is becoming harder and harder to get chores done around the house.  Brynn now wants to help and be included in everything.  She loves to help with laundry, dishes, and picking up.  Unfortunately, she does not quite get the concept of what I am trying to do and usually end up with a bigger mess then when we started.  Below are some pictures of Ma-Ma’s Little Helper.    

11 Months Old

Brynn has become a little busy body.  She is pulling herself up on everything and getting very frustrated that she cannot walk.  She loves to walk herself along the couch and is starting to move selectively from the couch to the foot stool with confidence.  Her favorite thing to do is to empty out a drawer or cupboard and then put everything back together.  She loves stacking all of the bowls and filling them up with different items that she finds around the house. 

Brynn has her own little personality.  She is fun loving, tender hearted, and a people person.  She loves being around others and misses her daycare friends when they are not around.    

She loves:

·         Balls

·         Laughing

·         Watermelon

·         Opening and closing the cupboards

She is working on:

·         Taking her first steps

·         Saying Ma-Ma

·         Getting more teeth
