Brynley also met my cousin K.C. on 9/4, but I didn't get any photos of the two of them together. We had a very nice dinner with my aunt, uncle, K.C., Trevor & Cayman. It was great to spend time with them!

Tons of photos....

...because I've been a blog-slacker...

Oh my Lord...I could eat her up!

Yes, it is drool.

This girl makes me laugh...

So, I'm working from home this afternoon as Brynley was playing in her "jumper". After a few minutes, I noticed that she was really quiet. I couldn't hear her moving the toys around, babbling, giggling, or fussing.

This is what I found:

Yes, folks, my daugher fell asleep STANDING UP in her jumper! Don't you just love it?

Six months old...

At six months old, Brynley is:

14 lbs 10 oz - 10-15th percentile

24 inches - 5-10th percentile

She likes to hold someone's hand when tired and falling asleep.
Searches (and finds) things after she has dropped them.
Eats baby cereal and spinach. Next stop: peas.
Babbles a lot...loves to hear herself talk and loves to have conversations with anyone that will talk to her
Likes it when you blow her hair or face. Strange, but true.
Has rolled from belly to back twice, but still can't do it on purpose.
Rolls over from back to belly in the crib sometimes...also will sleep on her side sometimes. She kicks the sleep positioner out of the way.

(upstate) New York, New York!

Brynley, Rob, and I took a trip to upstate NY from 8/13-8/17 to visit my Aunt Sue, Uncle Bill, Grandma, and cousins. After renting our minivan, we loaded it with baby gear and made the 8 hour drive to Utica.

We had a fun weekend with family, food, swimming, relaxing, and catching up. Brynley did so well at swimming this time....she stayed in there for quite awhile and didn't fuss. My cousins were laughing because Brynley was even kicking her feet as if she were trying to swim.

Bryn seemed to have fun too and loved being surrounded by little kids and new adults wanting to hold her and love on her. She did not like going to sleep in her pack and play, however. Bedtime was tougher than normal, but fortunately she readjusted quickly once we got home.
