Brenna's First Big Snow!

We bundled Brenna up today and took her outside to let her play in the snow. She was a little confused at first, but really liked it after a few minutes. We made a sled for her out of a plastic dishpan. I still can't believe her whole body fit into it. That will make for some fun conversation in later years.



Checking out her sled and the white stuff.


Trying to grab some snow. Love the determined look on her face.


Yes! She likes it!


Sledding in the back yard.


She didn't mind the cold air at all.


Trying to figure out how to get her hands out of all those clothes.


Daddy helped her sit on the snow because she wanted to face plant herself into the snow to get a taste.


Catching snow flurries on her tongue.

Brenna is six months old!

Six months! And she can now sit up on her own without support. She lasts five minutes or more on her own, and usually balances well until she is distracted by a toy or her feet.


Showing off the skills.


Jamie made her a "I am six months old" sign.


Here is what Brenna does with paper now.


"Oh, am I not supposed to crumple it?"


"Ok, I will eat it then."


My giraffe is more fun.


Tails are fun to pull!


I cannot believe Brenna is halfway to one year old already. It seems like such a short time ago we were hanging out at home and waiting for her arrival. No way does it feel like six months have passed since we welcomed her. I pulled out the old photos to take a look back today. She has changed so much, and is doing so many new things. Every day is an adventure to see what she might do next. Here are a few photos from today.


Story time with big bro.


Even the dog wants in on the story.


Just a cutie pie smile.


Playing with toys in her Bumbo.


Everything goes into the mouth these days.


Here she is in her swing at one week old.


Here she is in her swing at six months old. WOW!
I am thinking the swing will retire to the basement very soon!

New pictures

Just a couple of photos I took this afternoon.


Play time

Decisions, decisions.....

Staring down the dog.


She fell asleep while we were out. I love how she has her toys in hand while she snoozes.

Random pics

Snoozing in her car seat after a trip out. Check out her new hat!


Practicing sitting. Boppy pillow makes a great cushion for flop overs.


Trying to get those toes.


Cheesing for the camera.


Look who likes tummy time now! Her serious look.


Sporting the I just ate squash for dinner look.


Jumping in the jumperoo with her reindeer sidekick.


Not liking the constant flash in her face so much.


Learning how to mouse! News hunting (or Facebooking) online with Daddy.


What happens if I pick this up and throw it on the floor?


Good morning! Got milk?

Brenna Laughing

Here is a new video of Brenna laughing. She gets so distracted when we put the camera in her face that it is not as loud or funny as usual. I am determined one day to get video of the full on belly laugh! Pay no attention to the green beans on her shirt. She enjoyed her dinner!
