5 months!

It's crazy that this little girl is already 5 months old.

I have always been told that every stage of baby seems better and better, and now I see why. She is so much more interactive and it is so fun to watch her become more aware of the world around her. She is constantly taking everything in and learning. We are probably biased but I am pretty sure she gets cuter on a daily basis.

Some things we are noticing these days:

-she is verrrry grabby, anything within reach, she wants to get her hands on
- laughs so much more, especially when you dance for her
- she smiles at pretty much anyone that smiles at her
- doesn't seem to have any favorite blankets, toys, animals yet
- she is soooooooooo close to sitting up fully on her own. Any day now. She is able to sit but tends to lean forward until she is almost laying on top of her legs. But very little wobble.
- she is rolling over like a pro by now and she is a scooter. Sometimes we don't even realize how much she has moved but she does. And in her sleep. Wow, all over that crib. She also looks like she is doing superman or scissors (the exercise moves) because of how much she is moving when on her stomach.
- pretty much sleeping through the night. On occasion, we have to do a little cry it out, but way more often then not, she is sleeping from 9-7. We have been testing earlier bed times
- she is "talking" more often now and it is so fun to watch her practice all the things her voice can do.

And now some pictures as of late:

Happy st. Patrick's day!

Growing up, st. Patrick's day did not go by without celebration. We must wear green, sometimes even having my grandma calling to check in. Irish is big on my moms side of the family so I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was to celebrate with little B. On Saturday we swung by a st. Paddys day festival but since trey is not quite into it...we didn't stay long. It was close to 80 degrees here and we are already worried about brynn getting sunburned. It is going to be a long summer....

Last night treys parents came into town to babysit so we could see a movie. This was the first for trey since brynn was born! I, on the other hand, saw les mis on the day it came out. (Comes out on DVD this Friday....sooo pumped).  We went and saw OZ. We saw it in 3d , a first for me. I loved it, so much color and life. I thought the whole thing was great. Brynn was great for her grandparents so it was a win overall.


Now brynn is wearing her Irish onesie that my parents bought her while in Ireland last summer. It's adorable and perfect for today. Hope you had a great weekend!
