6 months old

Our computer is on the fritz with a virus, so the 6 month update is coming from my work laptop!

I can't believe our little baby girl is half a year old already. At six months, Brynn:

*Loves grabbing things - favorites include hair, necklaces, and Grandad's glasses from his shirt pocket.
*Eats mostly sweet potatoes, pears, bananas and squash. She still doesn't quite "get" finger foods like puffs. I got an immersion blender and made a couple of batches of my own food this weekend!
*Can sit unassisted for extended periods of time.
*Always laughs at Bailey more than anything else - she cracks up at him!
*Still goes to bed for the night between 10-11 and sleeps for 8-10 hours straight.
*Has completely switched to formula for her bottles.

...or do I look like Mommy?

Does Brynn look at all like me? We had matching hats anyway!

We have a sitter!

Brynn can now sit by herself without using her hands. Sometimes she can do it for as long as 30 seconds - other times she tips over after just a few...but she's getting better at it every day!

Jumperoo: Part II

It took a while, but Brynn has finally figured out how to jump in her jumperoo instead of just looking at the toys!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was on a Saturday this year and we went over to Rachel and Peter's house. Rachel, Peter and I and took Keely and Brynn trick-or-treating with Josh, while Dwayne and our friend Phil handed out candy back at their house. The girls were pretty adorable - Brynn was a bumblebee and Keely was a butterfly.


One of Dwayne's co-workers gave him a huge bag of hand-me-down clothes a couple of months ago - this cute Halloween sweater and shoes were in there, so Brynn wore this in the afternoon.


Dwayne and I also each made a jack-o-lantern - his is the monster and mine is the haunted house.


I got Bailey this costume last year but made him put it on again for a picture because I think it is hilarious!

Do I look like Daddy?

Everyone says Brynn looks like her Daddy - I scanned some of his baby pictures last week when we were in Indiana for comparison.
