Playing at the Park

Today we took BR up to the Bluff Park playground to swing and slide with Mommy and Daddy. We walked from Shades Crest Baptist which ended up being a longer walk than we had thought, but it was great and BR loved the swing as usual. I imagine we'll be spending lots of afternoon at this little park over the next couple of years. I'm so glad we live in such a nice, small and friendly community.

7 Month Photo Shoot

This morning we took Brantley to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens to hopefully get some cute 7 month pictures. I think we succeeded in catching some good smiles.

BR got to take pictures with Mommy and Daddy. Unfortunately, she was getting really tired when it was time to take pictures with Daddy so she didn't smile much in theirs. Oh well, they're still super cute!

We hope everyone is having a fun and relaxing Labor Day weekend!

Meeting Isaiah Daniel

On September 1st, some of my family got together at my Aunt Mary Jo and Uncle Mike's house to visit with my cousin Andrea and her family while they were in town from PA. We got to meet little Isaiah when they were down here. He was only 3 weeks old at the time. (I think. Don't hold me to that.) He is a handsome little guy and looks so much like his Mommy, which was a surprise because both of his big brothers look just like their Daddy. Precious!!

Above is the first picture that we have of Molly Lane and Brantley Rae together. I hate that it took so long for us to get them in a picture together but babies are hard to take pictures of if they aren't happy and awake at the same time. ha! In the bottom right picture, BR is watching her cousin, Judah, play and try to make her smile. He did just that!

Of course, the Preston's visit ended all too soon but it was still wonderful to see them all and to meet little Isaiah.

First Auburn Game of the Season

To kick off the 2010 College football season, Chase, BR and I went over to our friends, Lauren and Kevin's house to watch the Auburn game. Thankfully they had the Auburn game on and since Bama was PPV we got to watch the whole game without switching back and forth. We had a great time hanging out with everyone. BR got to sit on Kevin's 4-Wheeler and played with her toys in the floor. She was such a good baby, like usual!

We were totally pumped that we won our first game of the season. Great way to start things off.

WAR EAGLE, BABY!

BR at 7 Months Old

I'm a little late on this post but we've been really busy this week and I just got around to taking her 7 month pictures yesterday afternoon. I love my little Auburn Tiger!! So cute!!

Weight: Not sure, but I'm gonna guess somewhere around 15 pounds.

Height: No clue

Diapers: Size 2

Clothes: 3-6 month, almost into 9 month because she's tall 

(I'm not sure where she got her height from)

Naps: 3-4 times a day

(We're about to start a new schedule because I'm going to be keeping a little boy at home with us starting Tuesday, so I'm hoping to have them on the same schedule.)

Eats: Drinks 4-5 bottles everyday and eats 2-3 meals a day. She has started eating those little puffs and really likes them. She can actually put them in her own mouth!

At 7 months Brantley:

- is CRAWLING!!! It's crazy! We wanted her to crawl so bad a few weeks ago because we thought that would be so great. Now is she all over the place and I miss the days of her being immobile. I'm happy for her that she has reached this milestone she's just a little early and really doesn't understand "no" at all. Marley's toys, food bowls and extension cords are her favorite things to crawl towards. So I unplug the extension cords and put up Marley's food when she's crawling around to avoid any encounters. haha!

- still loves her pacifier...I'm not sure when we're going to give this one up. It works for now and she sleeps really well so I haven't even thought about taking it away yet.

- loves to play in the floor with her toys

- tries to flip over EVERY time we change her diaper. I have to say that this is probably the most annoying thing yet. Especially, when she has a poopy diaper. I mean really, just be still kid so it doesn't get all over the place. I've started giving her her hairbrush to chew on and it's been working really well most of the time.

- likes to love on her pink tiger at our house and her babydoll and doggy at Bebe and Paw-Paw's house. It's so cute! You can tell her to "give it some love" and she'll pull it to her and give it a hug. Adorable!!

- still loves her exersaucer and her johnny jump up. These two were lifesavers before she was crawling and now they are even better, because she can't get out of them but loves to play and jump. So great!

- is getting cuter and cuter everyday. Her hair is finally starting to grow. I can put a bow in it but it falls out pretty easily. We're almost there! Maybe by 8 months we won't need headbands anymore.

So that's pretty much BR at 7 months. I'm sure I've left something out and if I have I'll come back and add it later. I took her pictures with the adorable AU outfit that my friend, Tiffany from Auburn, gave her back before she was born. Unfortunately, it's a little big but that's not going to stop us from wearing it. It's a good thing I know a thing or two about sewing. It will fit perfect by tonight. I assure you! ha! War Eagle, Baby!

 Is loves that table toy and the bouncey seat toys also. She won't stay int he bouncey seat but she loves the toys from it. Silly girl! Check out her adorable bloomers with the paw prints on the bottom. So cute!!

Haha! Sorry BAMA fans, I had to!

Crawling at 7 Months!! Ahh!

This is a video I took of Brantley on the day that she started crawling. Yes! She is crawling already!! It's been a week now and she is all over the place. In the video she's crawling slow and still unsure of what she's doing but now she knows exactly what's up and loves being mobile. 

I think it's adorable to watch her move around and explore although, I don't like it very much when she wants to explore Marley's toys and food bowls. Yuck! haha! (So far nothing has made it to her mouth!) I'll have to take a video of her now that she's crawling faster and add it soon so you can see how much better she is at it. 

Our little sweet pea is growing up! Sniff, sniff!

 She was crawling over to Marley's house with the letter "I" in ther mouth. I thought it was so silly so I had to take a picture. haha

Great Host Opportunity
