Moving all about and new x-mas pics.........

My mom and I took the kids to go get their x-mas pics and Austin's b-day pics last weekend and all i can say is that I am not looking forward to that each year!!!!! The kids weren't bad it was the other 500 kids running around like crazy that drove me nuts!!!! It is really difficult to get one child to look and smile at the camera let alone trying to get 2 kids to corporate!! If one was smiling the other was looking away or starting to cry....I can't imagine having to take more then two kids. Thanksgiving was also this past week and it was a very busy time visiting family. Braelynne kept everyone entertained but was exhausted by the time I got her home and she also slept in the next day for mommy. It is back to work for us.....hope all is well with everyone. B's funny smile at x-mas pictures....she is a goofball!! Austin turns 4 on Dec.1st and we went and got the kids' x-mas pics + Austin's b-day pics...isn't he a doll!!!

Look Aunt Melissa....I finally fit into the cute Harley Davidson outfit you got me..

B standing up like a big girl!
Doesn't she just look like she is trouble........she was pretty pleased with herself that she could scootch herself off of the blankie on the floor and get lodged in between the swing. Its time for the pack-n-play so I can keep her out of trouble:)
We are officially in trouble, B has started to move backwards!!!!

Big Baby B and her new pics!!

We went and got Braelynne's 6month pictures taken yesterday and it went surprisingly well. She wasn't a real smiley baby but she wasn't in a bad mood either. She was really well behaved and I had a really good time staying home from work with her. She is really fun these days and I hate that I have to go to work all day:( This week she also got her first tooth, it is barely showing, but it is for sure there!!
Talk to you soon!!

Family Time

This past weekend was all about family. Corey has been working a lot lately so we don't see him as much as we would like but this weekend we tried to make it about family. Sunday we celebrated Old Nana's birthday (my grandma) and got together for some good home cooking at my parents. This past weekend Corey and I also finally got some alone time without B when we visited some friends.....it was nice to get dressed up and not have baby vomit in in my hair or on my shirt:) Monday (tomorrow) is our 2year anniversary.....I can't believe it is only 2years!!!! It feels more like 10! I can't believe in that little of time we had a baby!!! Oh my lord we are crazy....:) Hope everyone is good, have a Happy Thanksgiving if I don't talk to you all before then.
The only way mommy can get things done around the house is to take me where ever she goes!! This weekend B helped mommy with laundry.... by chewing on clean socks!! She doesn't look very happy that I got the camera out AGAIN!!!!

This weekend we celebrated Old Nana's birthday (my grandmother, B's great-grandmother) and mommy got another pic of Austin and me with her!

1st Word!!!!

Oh my gosh......Braelynne Faith said her first word last night......well I guess it wasn't the first time because last week Grandma Traci told me she said it but I didn't really believe her but last night I got to hear it with my own ears! I'm a little depressed but it is what it is......she said DA DA!!!! And Corey just thinks it is the funniest thing ever!! He was feeding her dinner last night and all of a sudden she blurts out DA DA, Corey said "did you hear that" and of course I did but I didn't acknowledge it, so Corey tells her to say it again and she says "da da"!!! That little brat, doesn't she realize the pain I went through when I gave birth to her.....she couldn't even say mama first!!! Kids.......

6months old and making new friends!!!!


My little Braelynne Faith turned 6months this weekend and I couldn't believe how fast the time has went. B and I attended a friends baby shower this weekend and the best advice that I could give her (from what I know so far:) is that she was getting ready to experience the best thing to ever happen to her and to really just enjoy it and remember every moment because they grow up so fast and before you know it, they are 6months!!!!!! It feels like yesterday when we brought her home!!
This weekend we also went out and visited our friends Zac and Katie Wheeler and B got to meet and play with their new daughter, Brooke. At Katie's baby shower she received the very famous Bumbo seat and since Brooke can't fit into it yet, we stuck Braelynne in it to play; she got a little irritated that she couldn't get out of it, but that is what mommy liked about it!!! They were so cute together....B was such a nice baby, she kept holding on to her:)
Braelynne and Brooke getting to know each other. Isn't it cute how B is reaching out to touch her?:)
Braelynne pigging out at dinner....what a mess!!!!
We started giving B baths in the sink again because she was afraid of the big tub, but I think it is time to move her to the big tub again.....B is grabbing at everything and has started reaching over the other side of the sink and pulling out dishes to play with! Whatever makes her happy I guess!!!!!!! She likes to think she is big and drink out of a big girl cup.

I got to see my Aunt Sara at a baby shower this weekend and mommy finally got a picture of us!
