Happy Halloween

To my surprise Brynn kept her costume on the entire night.  At first she was trying to pull the hood off to look at it.  After awhile she forgot it was there and would poke at the stuffing and pull on the tail.  She knew how cute she was and was being a little ham.  During the weeks leading up to Halloween we tried to teach her how to say “Moo” but still to this day she just giggles when we say it.     

Moooo



Pumpkin Patch

We took Brynn to the pumpkin patch again this year.  This year was much better than last.  She still did not fully understand what was going on but loved to see all of the people and activities taking place.  The petting zoo was her favorite, except for when one of the sheep kept following her around.  The train she enjoyed but she enjoyed saying “Choo Choo” more.  The poor thing has been teething so badly lately that we did not stay long at the pumpkin patch.  You could just see it in her eyes how much pain she was in.  However, she was a trooper and kept smiling the whole time.   

What are these big orange things?

Look at the bunnies

What's kind of animal is that?

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!!
