Josh's birthday party

Josh's birthday is just a couple of weeks after Jay's, and he had a party at the Catonsville Y. I didn't know how much Brynn would enjoy it since she didn't like the pool last summer, but she had a blast! She was a little timid in the water at first, but after a few minutes she was splashing and laughing at "the bath" as she called it - then she ran all around with the bigger kids and stuffed her face with cupcakes!

Corduroy Bear

The latest obsession in our house is Corduroy the bear - Aunt Erin and Uncle Tim gave Brynn a Corduroy book and toy for Christmas, and we also have a video of the story - she quickly learned to say Corduroy and asks for him constantly.

JJ's birthday party

For Jay's fourth birthday, we visited Erin and Tim's house in Allentown for the first time. Brynn loves her cousin JJ and is always talking about him - she enjoyed following him around happily all weekend, but poor Liam didn't fare so well since Brynn got upset any time he came near her!

Evan - Three Months Old

We did much better with sleeping this month! Evan now sleeps about 8 hours most nights, which is wonderful! He has even slept in his crib twice, although most of the time he still sleeps in bed with me. He loves to "talk", and has been full of coos and smiles lately. He can sit up in his bumbo seat now (it took him longer than Brynn - she must have been a lot shorter because the back propped her neck up before she had good head control), and he'll bat at the toys on his playmat when laying on his back.

Brynn's posse

Brynn has to have her toys with her at all times - Elmo, BeBe, Puppy, Baby, and Corduroy. If you put her in her crib, she'll ask for each one and notices anyone who is missing! Someone new gets added to the group practically every day, so it is getting to be quite the process putting her to bed!

Lightscoop

For Christmas, Dwayne got a Lightscoop for his camera (a mirror that attaches to the flash and reflects it off the ceiling so flash pictures look more natural). He's gotten some really cute pictures of Evan using it!
