Braelyn's changing daily

Since the last post, which has only been 15 days, Braelyn has done a few new things....to start out, she is now rolling from her tummy to her back in both directions...i can lay her on the floor in the living room, and she rolls all over it, she is usually on the other side of the room the next time i look at her:) We really have to keep our eyes on her at all times now....she is just a busy body:)

Braelyn has also gotten her first tooth....it popped through this past Friday, so April 23...we didn't even know that she was teething...she has been drooling like a faucet over the past few months, but nothing ever came of it, and she was also waking up in the middle of the night, often 2 times, which is not normal for her....So now looking back, it must have been because her tooth was starting to come through....
She is such a sweetheart....growing and changing daily....she is such a fun little girl....We are really starting to see her personality come out, which is the best...
Braelyn and i are heading to Michigan next week, to visit my family, so that should be fun....Shaun will be joining us too:) Should be a blast..It is Tulip Time, which is a festival that I have celebrated since i was a little kid....so it will be fun to bring Braelyn to it...I will post pictures when we get back...until then...

Braelyn is 6 months old

Can you believe it, it has been 6 months since Braelyn was born....she is just the sweetest little girl ever! She has the best disposition, and greatest personality, she is just a go with the flow kind of girl..my parents we hear this past week. Braelyn and I took my mom and dad to Disneyland, and she was such a trooper. We were there from 9am til about 8:30 pm...seemed like every time she fell asleep in the stroller, we would have to take her out to go on another ride, but she didn't care...she usually gave us a big smile when we picked her up, or she continued on sleeping....its so nice that we can take her wherever and whenever, and it doesn't even bother her...what a GOOD baby she is....

Braelyn has had a lot of "first's" since my last blog post (sorry for not blogging sooner)...where to begin..Braelyn is jabbering non-stop...most of the time when she has her fingers in her mouth, she is jabbering...she has also tried rice cereal, baby pears, baby sweet potatoes, baby carrots, baby peas and baby apples.....she is not so sure about this baby food stuff...she makes some very funny faces...in fact a week or so ago, she fell asleep in her high chair while i was cleaning up her food, sweet baby girl.

Braelyn is also loving her jumpy, is one of those exersaucer thing that she can jump in..she would spend hours in it if we let her...she really knows how to jump in it now, and just laughs and giggles while she is in it...

Braelyn has been rolling for her tummy to her back for a few months now, but in just the last week, she has now figured out how to roll from her back to her tummy, so she is really becoming mobile..it won't be long now, and i bet she will be crawling...its just crazy how fast they grow, but so fun watching them grow, cause you know as a parent that you are doing the right thing.....

Another thing Braelyn has mastered is belly laughing...it is just the cutest thing in the world...it is so easy to make her smile, and now to make her laugh is just the greatest...

Overall, Braelyn is just the best thing that has ever happened to Shaun and i, as well as so many other people...she really is a joy in our lives...i just can't imagine life without her...when she wakes up in the morning, she gives you this big grin, and it just makes my day all the better...there is just nothing better than starting your day our with a big smile from your sweet baby girl...we love you Braelyn Joy....i will leave you with some recent pictures of her..enjoy!!!!!
