An Apple a Day

Before I get started, we have more big news since the last post! On Saturday Brynne's first tooth popped through her gums! Then on Monday she starting pulling up!! She has been a busy little beaver :)

The pumpkin patch we went to on Saturday is also an apple orchard, so we bought some apples while we were there.

Thanks to Granny for Brynne's cute apple dress!

Picture taking has gotten just a little more difficult now that Brynne is crawling!

Trying to escape again!

She finally got her way, I tucked up her dress and she was off!

Trying to get past my road block...

Brynne eats applesauce just about everyday, but I usually buy it because it is cheaper than making it. This afternoon I cut up our apples, cooked them and made some applesauce for Brynne! I do not like apples (imagine that...), but Chris tried it and said it was really good!!

Let's hope the saying is true and we keep the doctor away!

7 Years!

Seven years ago today Chris and I met for the first time!! It is so hard to believe it has been that long (in a good way :) ).  My friend Kyla and I went with him and a group of his friends to a corn maze. On the way home we sat beside each other and the rest is history... :)

Today we celebrated by taking Brynne to her first pumpkin patch! Chris and I had a great time and I think Brynne did too. We are looking forward to taking her to the corn maze/pumpkin patch where we met in the next few years! Here are some pictures from our day:

Brynne was not a fan of the petting zoo... and she never even got out of the stroller!

Baaa

Brynne's first pumpkin!

One of many attempts at a family picture, it was super windy and I had my camera propped up on the stroller so this is the best we got!

I picked up a smaller pumpkin to go with Brynne's bigger one.

Dad and daughter:

Brynne and I:

We have had our ups and downs, but I will speak for Chris and say that we love each other more now than we ever have and we have a beautiful daughter that is just about perfect :) I can't wait to see what the next 7 (or 70) years will bring.

And She's Off...

Brynne has been mobile for quite a while now, but not technically crawling... Until today!

She had been using a combination of scooting, rolling, rotating her butt 180 degrees, and a few "steps" of crawling at a time.  She would go about 3-4 "steps" then plop down on her belly, she would either repeat or move on to something else until she got where she wanted. Now this was her this morning:




I think it's safe to classify her as a crawler now :)

Where's Waldo?

Where's Waldo Brynne?

If you can't see her little toes, maybe this picture will help:



The other day Brynne was playing and made her way over the the sliding door. She played with the curtains for a while and eventually ended up like this! She was of couse surrounded by toys, but the curtains and blinds were way more fun!! She played here for quite a while and probably would have played longer if it hadn't been time for a nap!

It is finally getting cool enough for Brynne to wear real pajamas! She has always been too hot natured to wear anything but a onesie. They haven't turned on the heat in our apartment and for some reason, her room is the coolest one (I wish it was ours!). Baby pajamas are SO cute!!

I love these! I love the monkeys and they are two pieces, but they snap at the waist. There is elastic around the ankles, so I can change her diaper without taking them all the way off, pretty convenient. They also have grippies on the feet for when she starts walking.

Chris named these her fat girl pajamas. I was having a hard time finding anything that would fit Brynne pleasantly plump body, but found this ONE pair at Walmart.

When I showed them to Chris he called them her fat girl pajamas and said "they even have cupcakes on them!" Ha ha!!

These are combo... It is a gerber onesie and carter's pants. Brynne's arms won't fit into the sleeves of the top that came with the pants! It kind of reminds me of a Chinese finger trap, haha!

"Do these stripes make my butt look big??"

I'm not sure what will happen once they turn the heat on. Since we are on the 3rd floor and heat rises, it may get too hot for her cute pajamas, but I hope not!

Resemblance??

At first glance, these two look a LOT alike! This is Grace at our wedding, she was about 14 months old and Brynne is 7 months old in this picture.

I guess the Hill genes run pretty strong!

Wordless Wednesday: I LOVE Baby Overalls!
