Brynnlee has Whose Genes?

I always wonder who Brynnlee looks like more....Kevin or me. I always think me, but then I look at her again. I found pictures of Kevin and me at about the same age Brynnlee is now. So, what do you think? Who does she really look like?

The Colorado Springs Sky Sox

Kevin came home today and asked me if I wanted to go to a baseball game. I was a little hesitant at first. It was short notice, we would be out late, and I didn't have dinner ready. But he told me it was Military Appreciation Day and the tickets were free. That motivated me to get going. We needed to get out on the town. And it was Brynnlee's first baseball game.


Brynnlee seemed to love the experience. She was laughing and clapping and watching everyone around us. We were only there for a few innings when it started to rain. That was no big deal, but then the lightening came. The game was delayed, so we decided to take off and get Brynnlee into bed. The short time we were there was fun, and I think we will plan to go to another game. And amazingly enough we even saw some people we KNOW. Our new friends-the Van Wagoners-were there.



Yeah for baseball!

Eleven Months

I know it has been said before, but time flies by so fast. Brynnlee is now 11 months old. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. We waited so long for her. The years went by so slowly and now suddenly we have an 11 month old baby. She is growing so fast. Here are some of the things going on with her.
*She has two bottom teeth and three top teeth coming in.
*She loves to clap her hands and say a version of "Yeah."
*She can say hi and bye and momma and daddy. I'm not sure she knows what they mean though.
*She stands next to things like the couch or chair or me and then
lets go and stands on her own.
*She has been waving at everything....her food, her toys, Toby.
Now she waves at people.
*She smiles and giggles all of the time. She will laugh when Kevin
and I are laughing at something. It is cute because she has no
idea what she is laughing about.
*I am trying to teach her what a nose is. I asked her the other day
to find Mom's nose. She grabbed mine. I was so happy, and she
giggled and giggled.
*She actually let people hold her!
*She loves Toby, and he is finally warming up to her. She will follow him all over the room and try to pet him. Sometimes he will even let her do it. She just smiles and giggles at him. When we call Toby, she tries so hard to say his name. She can only say "Boby!"
*Her hair is finally long enough to put into two ponytails on the top of her head. It is so cute, and everyone at the store makes a comment. It is still a little curly too. I love to see the adorable little curls on the side of her head.


I knew I wanted to be a mom. But I didn't know why. I do now! Brynnlee is such a joy.
