Our Weekend!

My good friend Katie came to meet Brynne this weekend! Katie and I have been friends since I was a sophomore (she was a freshman) in high school. We were in the same Algebra II class (yes, she was a genius!) and hit it off right away. She and I and a few other friends were inseparable until we all graduated in 2003. Katie went off to school at UT, but we tried to keep in touch and visit as much as possible. I'm glad she was able to come visit before we leave for Minnesota!



I think Brynne liked her! She was sleeping pretty good...

Chris was in town the same weekend Katie was here! We enjoyed spending some time together and I know he loved spending some time spoiling Brynne!!

I'm going to be in trouble when she gets a little older... I don't think he'll be able to tell her NO :)

Chris is gone now, but he'll be back in a couple of weeks!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Apparently Brynne doesn't care for this holiday too much, haha! That's ok though because her mom and dad don't think much about it either!

Her hat was made by my great aunt Sherry, the bid was a shower gift from a co-worker and her outfit was mine when I was a baby!

A little happier once we shed the hat...

Spring is definitely right around the corner! It was pretty warm and sunny today for the first time since Brynne was born. We took advantage of the great weather and went to the park for a walk (after a change of clothes for our little hot box of course!)

2 Weeks!

Sweet little baby hands...

And feet!

I LOVE this outfit!!

Sleeping with granddaddy (which as you can tell she LOVES to do!) :)

Our Little Escape Artist!!

One day I laid Brynne in the cradle that Allison and I used when we were babies. I walked out of the room for a few minutes and peeked back in to see this:



Brynne was trying to escape!!

We later found out she wasn't a fan of the cradle rocking her... maybe that's why she was trying to escape :)

Lots of Pictures!

On February 1 we went to the pediatrician for the first time. Brynne wighed 7 lbs 7 oz when she was born, 7 lbs 1 oz when she came home from the hospital, and 7 lbs 5 oz at her first appointment. The doctor was very pleased with that and her jaundice levels, so he said we didn't have to go back for a month!


I decided to try and take a few pics with the blanket I crocheted for her. She didn't like that idea so this is the only one I got!

Getting ready for another bath and very sleepy!

All clean!!

What a sour face...

Cute little ruffle booty :)

Our first few days at home...

Relaxing on mommy...

Giving Brynne her first bath at home.

By the time we were done she was not a happy camper!

I think it will be much easier to bathe her when we can stick her down in the water and she can stay warm!

Coming Home!

On Friday, January 28 we loaded up and came home from the hospital. Here is Brynne all strapped in her carseat. I made her little hat and her granny (my mom) made her cute dress.



Our new little family :)

Getting ready for her first diaper change at home!

Sweetness...

We have now been home for a few days and Brynne is doing great! She is nursing like a champ and sleeping pretty well for a newborn! Chris leaves on Wednesday and won't be back for a few weeks. It will be very hard on both of us, but we plan on video chatting as much as possible!!
