Minnie Brynnie

That's what Justin calls her lately. It fits. We are approaching a big day for Brynn in the next couple of weeks-her 1st birthday. Wow!! It has been so fun lately to watch her cute little personality emerge more and more. We just love her to pieces.

-Jan 6: Brynn goes to the doc for her 10-month check-up. She only weighs 13 lbs 11 oz! What?! I was so confident that she had gained more than that. She eats a lot of food. She has dropped off her curve and is only in the .01%. The doctor is not worried, however, because she eats well, sleeps well, her weight is proportionate with her height (about 25 in), and she is meeting all of her milestones. So we just see if she can catch up...most likely she'll just be really small her whole life.

-Jan. 9: Brynn takes her first steps.

Within just a week she is primarily walking. Now? I don't remember the last time I saw her crawl anywhere. Pretty funny to see a 14 lb baby walking around. We get a lot of comments and looks at church and elsewhere.

-Jan. 22: Brynn starts climbing the stairs. Argh!

-Other things: She is great at giving kisses, can wave goodbye, and clap her hands. Her hair is long enough now to do a ponytail or pigtails on top. She likes to walk around with any article of clothing and put it over her head. She gets so excited when her daddy comes home. She babbles a lot but mostly she is just a quiet little girl. She has 4 teeth, two on top and two on bottom. She is still nursing (no, she has not bitten me). She will eat pretty much anything I give her and she loves most to feed herself. She takes two naps each day. I indulge her (and myself!) by rocking her to sleep but if she wakes up while laying her in her crib, then she'll put herself back to sleep. Sometimes she sleeps all night and sometimes wakes up once to eat. This should stop when I wean her in a couple of weeks. She is a mommy's girl. She has been climbing on everything in the last few days. She takes her socks off as soon as she gets in her car seat.

She is so much fun and oh so cute...

She may be teeny tiny, but she sure is cute! I love reading about all the fun things you guys do. My kids favorite thing in the world is to get every blanket and pillow in the house and put it next to our bed and jump into it. Seriously. Hours of fun.

I can't believe her birthday is coming up. That nickname certainly does fit her. I'm glad I got to see you and the kids last week. It's so fun to really get to spend time with them without a lot of other distractions (aka kids)!
