The Party
We decided to keep Bryn's 1st birthday a bit smaller than Emry's...so we only invited family. We were thankful that many were able to attend as they all live out of state. At one point, we slept 12 people here and it all worked out great! She did so well at her party and everything went smoothly. Here's evidence of the success!
One Year Young
We officially have another toddler on our hands! Sweet baby Bryn is 1! We are so grateful for this amazing blessing God graced us with. Her little personality is sweet & sensitive with a splash of sassy. Here is latest about our peanut:
~ Weighs 18 lbs. 12 oz (30th percentile)
~ Is 31 inches long (90th percentile)
~ Head Circumference: 18 inches
~ Still in size 3 diapers
~ In 18 month clothes
~ Her hair is growing rapidly...is now a few inches over her ears
~ Take 2 naps: 9-10am & 1-3-ish
~ Sleeps from 7:30pm-7:00am
~ Drinks whole milk
~ Refuses to hold a bottle or sippy cup herself (we're workin' on it)
~ Eats all table food (minus peanut butter)
~ Has taken 2 wobbly steps (not consistently)
~ Is a total mamma's girl
~ Loves baths and hates showers
~ Loves to brush teeth
~ Enjoys dancing
~ Can sign: more, all done, eat
~ Waves for "hi" and "bye"
~ No clear words yet
~ Walks around things
~ Loves to climb the stairs and has no idea how to get down
~ Is a snuggle bug when she's tired
Makes us laugh daily and is learning and on the go constantly!

Birthday Fun
The girls had a blast at the joint bday party for their cousins Maison, Maddie, and Zach this past weekend in IA. Phil and Krista's bulldog had 4 puppies and Bryn couldn't get enough.
I'm gonna get you!
Gotcha!
Cake with some of her cousins...Kynlee, Amber, Anna, & Allison.
11 Months!
I know, I know...I've been a total blog-slacker. Life and work have been CRAZY this month! Hoping things will slow down.
Our sweet Bryn is 11 months (Back on 9/20)! Not sure how that happened so quickly. The 1st birthday party planning has officially begun. Most everything is in order except a few minor things. Hoping I can be a little more crafty this time around.
Little peanut never ceases to amaze us. Our lives are so much richer with her in it. We love, love watching Emry and her relationship blossom...nothing like the love of a sister. We feel truly blessed that God graced us with a second, healthy little girl.
Here is what Bryn is up to one month shy of a year:
- In size 3 diapers
- Has rapidly growing hair
- LOVES to crawl up the stairs...does NOT know how to get back down
- Eats most table food
- Has 3 bottles of formula each day (hoping to wean her soon)
- Is a total mamma's girl. She clings on for dear life if I try to pass her to someone else
- No new teeth...still only has 4
- In size 12-18 month clothes
- Not a fan of having her teeth brushed, mainly the top teeth
- Can push herself into a standing position from the floor without holding on to anything
- Has taken 3 small, small steps
- Is the sweetest thing ever
- Sucks her thumb at nap and bedtime
- Starting to find comfort in her taggy blanket
Only 17 days left until she turns 1. At that time, we will be a baby-less family...tear.

Gymnastics Success
After our rough experience with gymnastics back in February, we decided to give it another shot. Emry has been asking to go for a few months and since she was expressing so much interest, we thought we try again and see. She did amazingly well and seemed to love every second. She listened and followed directions much better than before and didn't want to leave at the end. She's excited to go back next week!

Learning Fast
We recently taught Emry how to use a computer mouse or the touch pad on our laptop. She does well with either. She loves going to Starfall or PBS Kids.

Little Momma
Emry asked if she could feed Bryn her bottle. Totally adorable. Too bad it only lasted about a minute.

Terrific Trim
Emry received a much needed trim today. She was so excited to see in the chair and sat perfectly still the entire time. She looks so grown up in these pictures...time needs to slow down!

Randoms
Here are some random pictures from the past week and a half. Steve and I are both back at work (even though I work from home) so my posts will most likely be a little spotty. I apologize in advance for those of you who are avid followers of our blog. Enjoy!
Babes after a swim.
Tea party with daddy in the fort.
What a ham.
Another Starbuck's date with mommy.
