I wrapped Jeff's Christmas present and Braelyn loves it! She keeps picking at it and trying to eat it. Christmas should be fun this year with all the boxes, tissue paper and wrapping paper.
This is a post for our families...preparing them for the little girl coming to visit. She is trying to reach her Christmas presents. She gets up on her tippie toes and grunts.
I do not remember if it was Brandy or Great Grandma who gave Brae her hat, regardless it finally fits and it is adorable.
She is starting to balance but she does not understand to fall to her butt, she just free falls to anyone in front of her.We are so grateful this Thanksgiving for all of things we have been blessed with. Our beautiful baby, a peaceful home, good friends and family. We are also grateful that this is the last Thanksgiving away from home!
She did not like the leaves very much.
Except for when there was only a few :)
These may take a while, but they demonstrate most of the things she is doing right now. We miss everyone!
HOME: our home is leak and maggot free thanks to my wonderful husband!
SCHOOL: I am so close to being done...one more day of night shift, 3 more tests and a 30 page paper!
BABY: She is growing up so fast. Just this weekend she started shaking her head. She does it so dramatically that when she is sitting she knocks herself over. The funny part is, I did it when I was a baby too! She wants to crawl, but is not quite there. She is finally enjoying baby food, but her body is not..constipation :( Any suggestions???
Here are a few pictures and videos for the family. We love you all!
By the time I made it home Sunday morning I was exhausted! Brae and I would sleep in..Jeff caught us both sleeping with our arms above our heads :)
She loves to be with her daddy. When he gets home from school she is very excited.
Six months old!So...this past weekend was a big shock! I got home from the hospital early Sunday morning and of course fell into bed. A few hours later Jeff woke me up and said the ceiling in the kitchen was leaking from all the rain. I didn't care much about it and I quickly went to sleep.
When I awoke later that afternoon, I found my kitchen looking torn apart with rags and bowls and little slugs on the floor and counter tops. I was so disgusted that I didn't even take pictures... :( It grossed me out so bad... Jeff got home and took some of the little slugs outside and the neighbors told him that they were maggots. Yes...maggots in our kitchen. I spent the rest of the day cleaning, bleaching, and more cleaning. It was the most disgusting thing ever. I didn't even study for my test the next day, and if you know me well that says a lot!
Starting to stand...of course I put her up there :)
She hates the crawling position but can hold herself there for quite a while.
This is her buddy Brennan. They hang out on the lawn and stare at the world!
She is chomping on everything. 
I went with some friends to the park and Brae loved to swing. It was so cute to see her sitting like a big girl and giggling.
This is exactly how she looks most of the day. She is so curious about everything and she grabs for anything is site.This is what we do every night before bathtime. She loves to play and does not seem to be afraid of anything. Even my scary roars..haha (Why didn't Jeff tell me how ridiculous I sounded...)
Brae has been laughing so much lately. I can't help but love it every time!
School started back for me on August 24th and since then everything has been a blur. My schedule goes something like this....
Monday: School 9 -4 (My neighbor Fawn watches Brae)
Braelyn is getting so big, we will find out all her stats tomorrow at the doctor :)
This was hilarious. The flash scared her so bad and every picture looks just like this one. What a silly little munchkin. 
Her newest trick is playing with her feet, we just love that she does it!
We planted flowers this week (Jeff even got a blister :)). Then we took pictures of the house, because we may need them when it comes time to sell. We wanted our lawn to be green and have flowers for curb appeal.
Just another cute picture of the "berry sweet" baby.
We leave for a visit to Utah in a few days and we are very excited!
At Jeff's parents there were baby puppies. We thought Brae would like to see them, but she didn't. 
My brothers and I got to visit Jeff's dad at the Fire Station. It was very fun! We got a tour of the station, a ride in the truck and the boys squirted the hose. They loved it and Brae slept..
We had Braelyn's Blessing when we were home. It was held in Hobble Creek Canyon. Jeff did such a wonderful job.
We got a FIVE generation photo taken. This is a rare thing and we are so lucky we drove to Idaho to get it when we did because a few weeks later my Great Grandma Wanda Berrett passed away.
