Happy Half Birthday!

Last Tuesday was Braelyn's half birthday. I can't believe my baby is already six months old! Time sure does fly. She is growing and changing every day and is such a joy and blessing to both Shaun and I.

Tuesday we went to see Dr. Lytle for Braelyn's six month check up. She weighed 16lbs 5oz and was 27 inches long. She is in the 60th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for heighth. Who would have thought that I would have a tall baby?! She definitely gets that from her daddy!

Here are some of her six month pictures. She had her tongue sticking out during the whole shoot (something else she gets from her daddy)!

Finally!!!

I know you all are so excited that I am finally posting an update! Sorry it has been so long. I will try to be better about updating.

Our summer has been pretty busy visiting with family and friends. Braelyn is doing lots of new things these days. She has been sitting up on her own for a few weeks now, and has recently started getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth. She will be crawling any day now. She has also started babbling. She was talking the other day and Shaun swore she said da-da, da-da. I think it was more like da-da-da-da. She now has two bottom teeth and loves squash and sweet potatoes but is not too sure about sweet peas. I don't blame her, they are not very good (yes I tasted them)! She loves to watch Aspen and the cats and gets so excited when she gets to pet them. It's so cute to watch! But they quickly run when she pulls on their fur! Here are some pics from our summer!

Just to let you know that the boat was not actually moving. We were waiting out a shower on someone's dock.

Jumping makes me tired!

The other night Braelyn was playing in her Jumperoo while I was doing a few things around the house. I looked over and this is how I found her. Isn't this so sweet?!

She did it!!!

For weeks now, Braelyn has been trying to roll over, but her arm just kept getting in her way. Last night we were playing on her activity mat and she kept rolling to her side like she wanted to roll onto her stomach. So, I helped her roll over a couple of times, and then Shaun put his hand between her and the floor and helped her a few times. Then we decided to see if she could do it all on her own. And she did!!! Shaun and I started clapping and yelling and cheering for her - I know she probably thought we were crazy. She rolled over about 3 or 4 more times after that. Scott and Courtney also stopped by the house last night and Braelyn got to show Courtney what she had learned!

Welcome to my blog!

Well, I decided to join this crazy world of blogging! Hopefully this will keep you all updated on what’s going on with me, Shaun, and Braelyn (I know this is who everyone really cares about). I will try to “blog” as often as I can, but please bear with me as I am still very new at this.

Be sure to check back for updates and feel free to leave me a comment.
