This has got to be one of the cutest video's ever!

Oh My Goodness! What a joy this girl is! She cracks me up!

6th Month

Wow, Today is Brynn's 7 month birthday... Wow, it's so hard to believe she's been here for 7 months already! What a gift she is, I can't imagine life without her. Isn't it amazing how quickly we feel that way? I am absolutely loving this season of life, it's already rushing by so quickly... Here is an update on what we've been up to since returning from Italy.. Brynn's 6th Month:

The classic eating the toes picture,
gotta love it!

First time eating solids! Give it to me daddy!!!

Messy face, Yummy Butternut Squash!

Brynn and I got to spend the day with her cousins Maddie and Bridget, we had so much fun, first we modeled sun glasses.. This is Bridget, she's 7 weeks younger than Brynn... Check out that hair! =)

Silly Maddie! She's Two and a Half.. Such a cutie..

Brynn's turn to model! Haha, she cracks me up!

Brynn and Biddy having their first fight...
You'll see video of this at the bottom!
So, I put them both in front of a Baby Einstein video, and Brynn is SO serious when she's watching, and Biddy is SO crazy, notice the blurred hands and feet and the big smile! They were hilarious! Brynn would look over at Biddy and stare at her, and then back at the t.v. I think she was annoyed. I was laughing so hard at the two of them. Talk about seeing some personality differences!
Soo tired, couldn't even make it through dinner...

Mommy and Brynn, ready to go to Daddy's show

Big girl, crawling!
