6 month pediatrician appointment

Brynn had her appointment today and keeps trucking along. She is now 14 pounds 10 ounces, 26 1/4 inches long, and has a 45 cm head circumference. She also got her shots, which are always so sad. She looks at us like "Why are you letting them do this to me?"...but it's all for the best.
She also got a new toy today. I'm sure everyone has had these rings at some point, but they are keeping her entertained for now.

Photo shoot!

Our friend, Jamie, came up to take some pictures of Brynn this weekend. Unfortunately, Brynn only took a cat nap (as is becoming her habit) so she was a little fussy and not down with posing for pics.

OH.MY.GOSH!! Seriously adorable, right?!?!?

But we still got some cute ones!! Go check out the rest on Jamie's blog. Thanks Jamie!!

Cereal

Brynn had her first taste of real food tonight...well real food might be stretching it. Baby steps, I suppose. She didn't really seem to like it and made all sorts of funny faces and even some gagging noises.But she must have liked it somewhat because she was all smiles after.

And today was the first football Sunday of the season. Brynn was decked out in her Saints cheer leading outfit...so adorable! She was hanging out with her cousin, Mason, having fun and watching the Saints win!

Deep in conversation.

Kisses!
(Although, I really think she was trying to eat him!)

6 months old...um, that can't be right?!

Brynn is SIX MONTHS OLD today! I'm sticking my fingers in my ears...la la la...I can't hear you! What happened to my itty bitty baby? How is she getting so big so fast?

Oh well, I guess I have to believe it since chances are that she is probably only going to get bigger from here on out!! My baby girl is doing something new and adorable everyday. Her newest adventure is sleeping on her tummy. Every morning when we go to get her from her crib, there she is on her belly! SO CUTE!

It is becoming increasingly more difficult to take pictures of the little booger sitting still. She constantly wants to be doing something.

"Fine, I'll pose for a picture with this bunny!""Okay, I don't want to share the spotlight anymore!""Mmmm...bunnies are tasty!! NOM NOM"

All in all, Brynn is doing very well. She has a doctor's appointment on Friday for her 6 month check-up and more shots.

Diet Coke...

What?!? She's not supposed to have soda??

Beach Day!

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.

Bath Fun!

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?

5 months old

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??

Happy Birthday Scott!

Brynn and I just wanted to wish Scott a very Happy Birthday! We hope you had a great first birthday as a Daddy!! Love you!

Hi

1st trip to the beach!

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.

Naked Little Baby!

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!

Puppy Love!

You think Rocky likes her?

4 month Pediatrician appointment

Poor little Brynn had her visit to the doc's today and that meant 4 big shots in her leg. It's so tough to see your baby bleed and cry, while there's nothing you can do for her. Uhhhh...parenting. 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.

4 months old!

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!

Happy 4th!

Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!! Enjoy the fireworks!!!

1st trip to the pool!

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!

Playin'

Happy Father's Day!

Scott had a great first Father's Day. Brynn doesn't know how to make breakfast in bed quite yet, but she was full of smiles all day! It was really nice out, so we sat outside for awhile and enjoyed the sunshine.

Hope you all had a fantastic Father's Day!
