Easter weekend

A bike ride, playing on the playground, a trip to Boccato Gelato, Easter dinner at Nana & Grandpa's house, familiarizing Aunt Tina with poopie diapers, two Easter baskets, brunch and church with Uncle Kenny, Aunt Leslie, and Cayman, swinging some more....what a great weekend it was!!

Coloring for the first time:

Of course:

Eating treats straight from the plastic eggs:

Pretty Aunt Leslie in her pretty yard!

Not quite a gardener:

(snapping a tulip in half!)

Brynley hasn't had much experience with grass.

She wasn't sure what to make of it:

The second basket:

Just a'swingin...

Yummmmm....

April already?!?

I can't believe it is April already...time really does fly by!

Brynley is not walking yet, but she is cruising along while holding onto the furniture. She is very active and sometimes a bit mischievous. She often gets in trouble for playing in the dog's water dish. She's never met a food she doesn't like. She loves music, books, swings, animals, and splashing in water (dog dish and bathtub!).

It seems that every few days she comes up with a new facial expression or a new sound. She has even begun to say "Baba...Baby!" She has even said it a few times while pointing to pictures of herself or of babies in books, magazines, and on food packaging.

B will go out of her way to crawl over the dogs rather than going around them. She mimics Chanook's distinctive "row-rowl-rowwwwwwwl" sound. She squeals in delight when she sees a cat...eardrum shattering squeals! She is a mama's girl (for now).

She is back to sleeping through the night...yeah!! She is starting to go down to one nap a day. She still plays with someone's fingers when she is tired.

My brother's caption for this photo: "Yes, I have a loaded diaper, but I gotta finish my grocery shopping!"

She's my happy little buttercup...my boo bear...my boo diddly...our little oochy-boochy. There aren't enough hours in the day...

Random photos

It was gorgeous outside, so Rob & I took Brynley to the playground today.

She loved the swings!

And was fully entertained by all the other kids running around...

Some other random photos from the past two weeks:

Brynley's mad face. Pretty, isn't it?

My sweet little bunny

Birthday party!

Brynley's snowed-out birthday bash finally took place yesterday (2/27/10). Bryn always loves being surrounded by people and the party was no exception. She especially enjoyed playing with Erika's two daughters.
