7 Months

Happy 7 months to my love!
You love Sophie.
You love naps.
You love to smile :)
You love your bath time.
You love your Mommy almost as much as your Mommy loves you :)
We are so blessed that we have been your parents for 7 months little girl. Daddy is amazed at what you've learned every time he comes home at night. This week is you breathing quickly out of your nose and making a pouty face and this month you can officially sit up on your own. Too cute for your own good.

A Texas White Christmas

Little Squeaks turned 6 months old on Christmas Eve. We are so blessed to be her parents and I can't believe she has been with us for so long already! LOVE HER.

Some of the fam came over the Sunday before Christmas to see the new house and Bryn. Squeaks and Big Daddy had a good ole time hanging out.
Bryn and all her Dad's cousins and Great Grandparents on Christmas Eve.










Christmas Morning! Bryn went straight to her stocking ;)
YUMMY chocolate filled candy cane.












               So excited! Opening her gift from Papa.
Unwrapping went well...Squeaks got lots of clothes and some toys.












Big Momma and Big Daddy came over to see Bryn Christmas Day for lunch. It started to snow while they were here!
By the time they left it looked like this...

Could not have asked for a better first Christmas for Bryn.

Hers is a growin' girl!

Too cool for school. Almost 6 months and we have found our feet!
We made it out to Babes Chicken! It is yummy. They do BYOB. Bring your own baby. No just kidding BUT YOU CAN bring your own alcohol. The waitress told us people bring coolers. Cray Cray! Momma and Daddy are going to be definitely abusing that one of the weekends.
Home sweet home! We have finally settled into our new home in Prosper. One of the first things I had to do was put up the Christmas tree!!! Bryn has started learning out to use her sippy cup. I chose one with a straw because it seemed like a better idea. After a week of investigating the straw...
I created a monster :) But it is great!! She can drink on her own and she doesn't have to have the head room to tilt her head up to get the water. It also came in handy when I found out about this little jewel...
It's first year solids but in a straw pouch. It is more pricey and so far in this brand I can only find one flavor but it is great for when we are not home for her morning breakfast, snacktime, or dinner.
After 5.5 months she finally has a high chair! I shouldn't have put it off so long but this Mom couldn't find one I liked enough. We have a Peg Perego car seat and while it weighs as much as I do- I love it. So I found this Peg-Perego high chair. It is the Cadillacs of high chairs. It is leather so no it is wipe-able. It transforms into a swing. It tilts back for newborns & up. It raises and lowers. This Momma is so excited. It finally came 2 days before Christmas. It was her Papa's gift for us for Christmas. So now we no longer have to sit on the floor to feed the babe. 

5 months and Bryn's Zoo outing!

5 months old!
Growing everyday this little girl is now eating solids! She loves everything but her most favorite is bananas and sweet potatoes. She is wanting to sit up on her own but she still leans to far over and falls on those sweet little cheeks. So Momma and Daddy sit with her to play. Her new trick of the month is blowing raspberries with her mouth. Our babe sleeps in her own crib and mostly sleeps through the night with the occasional 1-4 am wake up call because she wants Stella but can't seem to find her. (Stella is her giraffe wubby). Bath time is at 7:30 and bed time usually following around 8 or 8:30.
Last game day living in Norman. Bedlam.
Cartoons have begun to capture this babes attention. 
Mostly the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Oh toodles :)
Oklahoma City Zoo! Bryn's first trip and maybe last trip to this zoo. We had lots o' fun!
Giant Turtles. Or whatever their "Zoo" name is. But to us they are GIANT turtles.
Ah bright light! Trying to ride the baby elephant.
Dad needed in on some riding action. I think he may be a bit too tall.
Love this face.

We had an amazing day! The weather was awesome and Bryn had a good time. She missed the giraffes but seeing a GIANT Stella may have scared her for life anyways.
