10 months old!

Brynn is 10 months old and it seems to be flying by...her first birthday will be here before we know it!!! How did that happen? I'm not sure if I'm ready for a toddler just yet!As soon as I sit Brynn down she is on the move, which makes taking pictures rather difficult. Move, move, move...but we'll take what we can get. She is cruising around all the furniture, walking with her push toy, crawling at lightening fast speed and getting into anything she isn't supposed to. We installed baby locks on all of the lower cabinets because she was opening them all and getting into trouble!
Brynn's hair is starting to get a little bit of a curl in the back. I had ringlets until they grew out and got cut off and Scott's had a little curl. So we'll see how it works out for Miss Brynn.

Christmas pics!

Here are a few pictures from Christmas!Christmas Eve!

Christmas Morning!
She loves to crawl back and forth through the door.

Being pushed on her car. She loves it! It also turns into a walker for her and she has so much fun "running" around the living room!

Brynn and my Mom!

Santa's reindeer!!

We had a nice holiday with family and friends. We hope everyone stayed safe and enjoyed their time with loved ones! Now on to 2010!

9 months (a tad late)

Ooops! Brynn is almost 10 months, so I thought it would be a good idea to post her 9 month pictures before then. We've been busy okay!
I don't have a whole lot to say other than Brynn is on the move non-stop!!

Disco and Country Elves

Santa Claus is coming to town...

Brynn got to meet Santa! She was amazed and tired, but we got a good smile out of her before she passed out in the car on the way home. Let the craziness of the Christmas season begin!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving with family and friends. Eat lots of turkey and my favorite, pumpkin pie!

A quick update on the teeth front...Brynn now has two! Her bottom left finally came through, it only took about 2 months. So yay for teeth!!

Uh-oh: Part Deux!

The baby gates are being installed this weekend!

8 months!

Okay, I'm a little late on this post. Better late than never, right?Brynn is 8 months old! I say this every month, but time is flying by! She is an expert crawler now...zooms all over the place. You walk into the next room and before you know it she is right there with you! Still pulling up and cruising around on everything too....nothing is off limits. Brynn loves dog toys and the dog bowls. Seriously, that is what she crawls around looking for!

Another tooth *should* be right around the corner. We can see the white and it bulges out of the gum, but can't actually feel the tooth yet.And just because I like this pic...

She is so proud of herself!

This has been my view when I get Brynn from her crib after a nap...who does she think she is? Standing in her crib...geesh!
She has her Saints jammies on to help the Saints stay undefeated! And it would be nice since Scott is at the game for them to win!! C'mon Saints!

Who Dat!?!

Had a good time watching the Saints shoot down the Dirty Birds on Monday Night Football with Matt, Anna and Mason. The ole Aints are 7-0!!!

And she's off....

For the last week or so Brynn has been doing this pseudo crawl and then rolls to get what she is after. But in the last few days she has been doing the real deal! She isn't very good or fast at it yet, but she has figured it out. She can also get herself into the sitting position when she gets to what she wants. Better watch out she is a lady on the move!
She is also pulling herself up onto anything and everything she can. She then tries to cruise around holding on to the couch, ottoman and us. And little Miss thinks she is a big shot, if you give her your fingers to hold on to she will walk all around the house.So now that she's mobile, I guess we will be seeing some bumps and bruises and I suppose we need to baby proof!

Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone had a safe and spooky Halloween! Brynn did go trick or treating, but didn't collect on any of the treats. Only having one tooth kind of spoils that fun! Here is our little bee buzzing around!We also had some pictures taken of her for Halloween. Here they are:

Brynn, MeMaw. MeMaw, Brynn!

Our little Brynn got to meet her Great Grandmother last week. MeMaw (my Grandma for you West Coasters) came out all the way from New Orleans to meet Brynn and Mason. We had such a nice time last Friday night at our house, Saturday at Mom's with the family and Sunday at Matt's house. Saints won again!! Who Dat?!? Although MeMaw watched the Saints play in the Superdome on TV, she STILL has never stepped foot in that place. Imagine being 49 and a half years old and never going inside the Superdome. Oh wait, she finally admitted she's 80! She doesn't look it or act like it though!! Wish we all lived closer together.

We are so thankful for our families!

Uh-oh!

I'm not sure where she thinks she is going?!?!? In fact, she got stuck there and needed help sitting back down. She has been doing this for the last week or so...what's next?

Rainy day

It has been rainy and dreary for the last few days. To make it a comfy, cozy rainy day Brynn hung out in her jammies.

Lombardi Ranch!

We had a great time at the local pumpkin patch yesterday! Brynn got to see all the scarecrows, pumpkins (some bigger than her, as shown below) and animals. She was enamored by the ostrich. That sucker was huge! I'm sure this will be an annual trip for us and we can't wait to see her running around next year.

7 months old!

Where has the time gone? I swear every month seems to fly by and Brynn is only getting bigger and doing more fun stuff. Pretty soon it will be Christmas and then around the corner her 1st birthday...ahhhh!!!

She isn't crawling quite yet, but she is moving around like an inch worm and she rolls all over the place to get to what she wants. Crawling is in the near future and I'm not sure I'm ready for that.Brynn's favorite new spot is on your shoulders. As soon as she gets up there she has a big smile on her face. She loves to try and eat or pull your hair if it is long enough.

All in all she is a happy little love bug!

The great outdoors!

Brynn loves being outside! She watches kids play, cars go by, the trees sway and whatever else there is to look at. She is content to be outside for quite some time just looking around.
She was obsessed with trying to 'pet' the grass, but the thing that mesmerized her the most was her shadow. She kept turning trying to see it. It was too cute!!

A tooth!

That's right, one single tooth. Not toothies, or teeth, just one single pearly white peeking through the gum. It broke through about 2 weeks ago and has steadily been working its way out.

I have been trying to take a picture of it since and have been unsuccessful. Although, even if I got a picture I thought was decent, I probably would have posted it and you all wouldn't be able to see anything. So, i just decided to post about it instead...we'll see if I can get a picture of it sometime soon!!

She has been chewing on everything and leaving little teeth marks on her toys. I can't believe my baby has her first tooth!!!!

So I wrote this post earlier in the week and didn't get around to posting it. In the meantime I think I may have gotten a picture of the elusive tooth. Can you guys see it? (You can click on the picture to make it bigger.) I promise it's there!!!

A is for avocado...

AND apparently awful! Brynn had some pureed avocado and really didn't like it. I'm not sure if it is a texture thing or if she just has to get used to it, but after 4 days we decided to move on. We moved on to sweet potatoes and I'm not so sure she likes those either, but she seems to be doing better with them. We'll keep pushing through because at this rate she isn't going to like anything if we don't. Hopefully she will come around to sweet potatoes the same way she did with the cereal.

She is loving her cereal though!! She can not get enough of it fast enough and gobbles it all up. We have actually had to make more for her every night.
