My four month old

Today was Brynley's 4-month pediatrician appointment. She now weighs 12lbs 14 oz and is 23-1/4 inch long. She is growing by leaps and bounds...cooing, giggling, playing with her feet, teething, almost rolling over! Tonight Rob manned the video camera and we taped Bryn eating her first solid food - rice cereal. Sure, most of it ended up on her chin and her bib, but she seemed to be enjoying herself anyway!

Last Saturday (June 13th) was Brynley's 4 month birthday. The three of us went hiking in Shenandoah National Park. Rob carried Bryn in a carrier and she did very well. I took a few pictures, but have not pulled them off my camera yet.

Here are a few pics from the past few weeks:









Did I mention that I love this girl?

Visiting Grandaddy

On Sunday, June 7th, Brynley left the state of Virginia for the very first time. We drove through West Virginia and Maryland before arriving at Grandaddy Hinkley's house in Pennsylvania!

Never in all his life has my Dad had a beard. I am trying to convince to get rid of it - he is so handsome clean-shaven! As you can see, he loves Bryn!

During our visit, my daughter passed out with her favorite toy in one hand (wrapped around her wrist) and her tee-tee in the other. Very, very cute!

Birthday party

When we last left our heroine, she was headed off to her very first birthday party. Heather's triplets turned 4 and we joined in the celebration.

Brynley - party animal!







The pictures just don't do my darling justice. This girl smiles and giggles quite a bit lately, but pull the camera out and she gets this serious look on her face. It is very difficult to capture the smiles on camera...usually Mommy has to entertain her while someone else sneaks up with a camera!

Sleep is good

Brynley has surprised me by sleeping through the past two nights! Part of me wonders if I'm just sleeping so soundly that I don't hear her, but I don't believe so. I think she is actually sleeping long hours. Let's hope this lasts!

The other wonderful thing that Bryn is doing now is giggling...A LOT!! Rob is really good at making her giggle. I can do it too...especially when I sing "John Jacob Jingle-Heimer-Schmidt". Do you remember that song? The first part of it gets quieter and quieter, but the last line is LOUD every time. She loves it and giggles like crazy every time the song goes from very quiet to very loud.

Brynley & I are off to her very first birthday party today...Heather's triplets turned 4!! We are looking forward to spending the afternoon with our friends and hope to take many photos. As I write this, B already has her party dress on and she is taking a nap so she will have plenty of energy for the party!
