5 months!
Brynne is 5 months old today! Where is the time going?!?
She weighed 18 lbs 11 oz on Wednesday when I took her to the doctor. She has picked up her first cold from where else but church! :( She has done very well with it though and is still a pretty happy girl. Currently she is in her jumperoo laughing at me. I have to suck her nose out several times a day, but she keeps her head perfectly still for me. I don't have an official length, but she is 26 1/4 inches according to my measurement.
We started giving Brynne a little rice cereal this month. She did well the first couple of times, but then decided she wasn't interested! We took a day or two off and tried again, but now with a little applesauce mixed in. Now I am giving it to her before I nurse instead of after as suggested. She eats all of her cereal and still nurses great!
Brynne finally learned how to roll over this month!! She rolled over one time from her belly to her back on the 14th, but I'm pretty sure it was an accident because she hasn't done it since. Then on the 18th she rolled from her back to her belly over and over and over and... She was a pro from the first time! Now I spend my days rolling her back over because she doesn't like being on her belly very long.
Last night we caught her doing this:
I have a feeling it wont be long before she is up on her hands and knees!
I think this is the sweetest picture...
Such a happy girl most of the time!
She is fully into the "gleeful screaming" (term from Aunt Allison) and has been for quite some time! I think it is music to my ears :) Brynne is pretty much always "talking," here she is mid "scream"!
It had been a while since Brynne wore her bloomers from Sis (my Aunt Cathy) so I thought I would get some pictures... I almost waited too late! Her little legs are going to have to slim down a bit if she is going to be able to wear them many more times. I think the elastic was stretched to it's limit :)
I also wanted to get a few pics of her in her new hair bow, thanks Granny! Apparently they are a southern thing because I can't find any here!! I have seen some of the flowers, but no bows. Granny has had to come to the rescue on more than one occasion!
This time next week Brynne and I will be in Tennessee and I couldn't be more excited (I'm sure if Brynne knew what was coming she'd be excited too)! I'm hoping we get lots of visiting in, but also have some down time. I also hope she does well on the plane. She did wonderful at 2 months, but she is a LOT more active now, it's not as easy to get her to sleep in my lap and I will be by myself!
Little stinker!
I need Brynne to stop growing so fast!! I am more in love with her every day. I am so thankful to be able to spend everyday with her and to watch her grow and learn new things each day!

Random Pics
Make sure you check out the Father's Day post again... I added a few new pics!
We haven't been up to much lately but I do have a few random pictures to post!
One morning I went to wake up Brynne and she was out cold. I tried waking her up with no luck, so I turned on the lamp and took her picture and she still didn't wake up!!
She finally woke up to the paparazzi standing over her after this one, I'm sure she was thrilled.
She has really started enjoying her Jumperoo, I actually just had to move it up a notch! I'm not sure she is that much taller... I think she is just weighing it down, haha!!
Chris caught this picture of her doing her crunches... Gotta keep her girly figure!
Snapped this picture as we were heading to church, I love her outfit (thanks mom)!
I had the PERFECT bow for the outfit too, a bumble bee! Too bad you can't see the one on her outfit... It's under her chin(s) :)
One day she was playing in the floor and managed to work her way into this position. It must have been hard work because it wasn't long before she fell asleep!
fyi: She started out on the mat on the left side of the picture. Her head was between the 1 and 4 with her legs to the left (out of the picture). I really have no clue how someone so immobile did this!!
She's so smart she skipped reading and went straight to eating the book :)
Well that's all for now! I am getting so excited about our trip to TN. It will be here before I know it! I can't wait to see everyone and show off my little {big} girl!!

Dad and Daughter
*****Edited to add one picture at the top and two at the end*****
Edit- This pic is from the hospital from Allison's camera when she was first born
This is the first picture I have of him and Brynne (and me), it was the day we came home from the hospital.
This was on one of his trips home while we were still living in TN. Unfortunately, I was really bad about taking pictures of him and Brynne on his trips home :(
This was our first family picture in MN!
Chris gave Brynne her first real bottle in April (I had given her a couple of ounces here and there just to make sure she would take it).
Brynne also sucks her thumb like Chris did... I was a (multiple) pacifier baby! Mimi said this picture reminded her of Chris when he was a baby.
Brynne is not much of a snuggler, but we try to sneak them in every now and then :)
Brynne gets SO excited EVERY time she sees her dad! It's really pretty funny. All he has to do is walk past her and she goes nuts!! She also likes to watch him do yoga in the mornings.
I am thankful for such a great husband and father of our baby! I hope Chris and Brynne continue to have such a great relationship! Happy Father's Day Chris!!
There is one thing I know for sure and that is Brynne LOVES her dad! (I think he's pretty partial to her too!) It doesn't hurt that she looks JUST like him either! Since tomorrow is Father's Day, I thought I would do a post all about Chris and Brynne!!

Brynne and Chris with his Father's Day gift. It was time for Brynne to eat and as you can tell she was in no mood to smile, ha!
Chris has been asking for some pictures for his office. I saw this idea online and thought it was cute, expecially since her prefer to be referred to as dad. I think it turned out pretty cute!
I am thankful for such a great husband and father of our baby! I hope Chris and Brynne continue to have such a great relationship! Happy Father's Day Chris!!

It's HOT!
The temperature reached 100 degrees today! As I posted on Facebook, apparently Mother Nature didn't get the memo that this is Minnesota, haha! Since it was going to be so hot, I decided Brynne and I would go swimming. Our apartment complex has a pool and they keep the water temperature at 85 degrees, perfect for me! Since Brynne still can't wear sunscreen and I didn't want to put any on, we went out at about 9:30 this morning. She and I were the only ones there, so I had to use the timer on the camera for our pictures together (which made them out of focus). The sun was REALLY bright (as always) and I forgot my sunglasses, so I was squinting really bad in all the pictures. This was the best I got:
We only stayed in the water about 15-20 minutes, I wanted to be out by 10 because of the lack of sunscreen. Brynne did a little drying off by the pool.
This picture shows off her cute bathing suit! I love it!!
Lounging and drying a little more...
I am looking forward to many more trips to the pool this summer!
Oh, and Mother Nature is back on track for tomorrow... The high is only supposed to be 69!

Cereal
{ Title by Chris... Isn't he creative :) }
Here are a few pictures from the first two days of cereal for Brynne. For the most part, she did much better than I expected! She of course didn't get very much, but she didn't just push it right back out!!
Narrated by me :) (and yes, I realize the straps on the highchair need adjusting in a bad way!)
Uhh, what did you just put in my mouth??
That wasn't so bad!
Here comes that thing again...
Oh, that stuff again!
Are you sure about this mommy??
All done! Time to smile at Dad, I love to smile at him!
And laugh at him! (She does this EVERY time he is around... even if he isn't paying attention to her, he must be pretty funny to look at :) )
Day 2:
A little puppy, begging for more :) {not really}
She was a little too busy "talking" nonstop to eat this day!
And laughing... Can't remember what she was so excited about (not Chris this time, he wasn't in the room!)
All done! I thought this picture was too funny not to post! We did a little tummy time after she ate this time, but didn't wait quite long because she spit up pretty much everything she ate! (You can thank me for not taking a picture of that :) ) Oh well, at least she got to practice eating!
