Brynn and I headed out to the beach on Friday to try and beat the heat! We tried to put her little footsies in the water and she DID NOT like that. I think it was a combination of cold water, loud waves and being hungry and tired. Oh well, there is always next time! She did like playing with her feet in the sand though, so we just hung out in the shade.
Brynn really enjoys bath time! She splashes so much we end up soaked right along with her. Water ends up everywhere...mirror, counter and floor. But she has fun and that is all that matters!
Remember when we gave her that first bath at home? So different, huh?
Brynn is 5 months old and is really starting to have a little personality. She is talking and singing ALL.THE.TIME and sometimes is SO loud! She can also sit unassisted for a minute or so at a time. You have to sit really close though cause she topples over when she can't keep her balance. We weighed her at home the other day and she is about 13 1/2 pounds.
One of Brynn's new tricks is eating her feet. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't think baby toes are tasty??
We took Brynn to Huntington Beach for 1st time for Grandpa's birthday. No body surfing or anything, but we got to put her feet in the sand.
Here's a shot of our little stinker after a bath. Yep, that's right we are brave enough to let her be without a diaper for a few minutes. I'm sure it will backfire on us soon!
Before the pain came some joy though. We've been working on helping Brynn roll from her tummy to her back. We were just telling the doctor that she hadn't quite been able to get there and I think she wanted to prove us wrong. Her doctor wanted see how she did on her tummy and before we knew it, Brynn rolled to her side and then...TIMMMMMMBERRRRRR! She did it! I think we have a little show-off on our hands. Ahhhh....parenting. 
The important thing is that she's a healthy and happy baby. The dainty one is weighing in at 12 pounds, 13 ounces (30th percentile); she's now 24.75 inches tall (65th percentile). But evidently, she's got quite a dome. Her head measured 43 cm (91st percentile). Wow...guess she's a smart one.
Little Miss is a big four months old! She is noticeably longer and is "talking" up a storm these days. Some new firsts in the last month include sitting in the high chair, holding her own bottle, grabbing her feet, and rolling over on her tummy in the middle of the night and scaring me half to death!!! Oh, and I think the best one of all, she laughs!! It is one of the cutest things ever!
We have her 4 month pediatrician appointment on Friday, so we'll know how big she is getting then. She will also get her 2nd round of shots...poor thing!
We lathered Brynn up in sunblock and headed out to the pool today! We went in the morning before it got too hot and didn't stay too long, but she seemed to enjoy herself. I mean she wasn't laughing or anything, but she wasn't screaming either.
When we got home she conked out. It must have been exhausting...you know, all the laps she swam!
It was really nice out, so we sat outside for awhile and enjoyed the sunshine.
Hope you all had a fantastic Father's Day! 
She is getting so big, it's almost hard to believe...and we see her every day. Lately she is really interested in eating her hands. She starts out with shoving her fists in her mouth and they must be tasty because she chews on them awhile. Then she opens them up which makes her gag. She must be trying to be baby bulimic*. Peer pressure, I guess. 
And she loves cooing and trying to imitate our voices...I'm pretty sure she is going to be talking in, like, a week!
She is so close to rolling over! This morning she was on her tummy and was about half way there, but got too angry! Getting close!
For those of you who know Scott's brother, Matt, he and Anna had their baby BOY on Sunday. Mason Alexander weighed in at 6 lbs 1 ounce and was 2 weeks early. The little stinker couldn't wait to get out and play with his cousin!! Congrats to the happy family!
We enjoyed the nice weather and did some grilling. Hope you all had a nice weekend too!
