What a fun age Brenna is at right now.

She has been getting more and more inquisitive lately and likes to go-go -go.

She hasn't quite figured out crawling yet but she can roll and reach far to get the toys or kitttycats tail.

(Its kinda nice that she just stays in the place i put her, not much longer and she will be all over the place.)

She has always liked baby food but now she likes to reach for our food.

She snacks on baby fruit puffs and little pieces of pancake, soft fruits and potatoes.

One of her favorite treats is watermelon.. funny how that was my #1 food request when

I was pregnant! coincidence i think not...

There are two little teeth on the bottom ready to come in any day now!!!

Camping in Mid Wisconsin over Memorial Day Weekend

Brenna chillin' in her stroller on one of our summer day walks around the neighborhood

Brennas first swim

Almost 8 months old..

Brenna has offically outgrown her "baby" clothes

I went through all her clothes in the closet and packed away almost half of them away! I was kinda sad to see the tiny outfits

get packed away.....

She fits into 6-9 month old items these days. We went shopping for summer outfits, got lots of cute tank tops, shorts, sun dresses and a few sun hats. She will be already for the park and playing in the backyard

this summer~

We have changed out her baby car seat for a larger "convertable" one that can

be reversed when shes 1. No more carrying her around in her car seat into palces..

she does pretty well in restuarant highchairs and

grocery stores carts.

Griffin our dog continues to be great with her. Below is a video clip of me catching them goofing around together :-)

7 months

At 7 months old Brenna loves to play, coo& babble and try to put everything in her mouth! She can also grab a bottle and bring it up to her mouth.

Her favorite things are tags... on books, toys, blankets...etc

she will find the tag on anything!!! Its fun to watch

She hasn't started crawling forward yet.. but can spin in a circle and scoot backwards pretty darn well.

Wow! It has been a fun 6 months.. like they say the times just flys by~

I'm a month behind so here is some catching up...

at 6 months old Brenna weighed

17.2 pounds

height 2' 2"

She has been eating solid foods like sweet potatoes, carrots and rice cereal.

She loves her baby einstein exer-saucer and the bouncer at her day care.

She has some pretty strong legs!!

5 months old

Over the last month Brenna has reached quite a few milestones...





......She can now roll over from her stomach onto her back

She loves to make Goos and Gaas, blows bubbles and gets excited when she sees mommy and daddy





Getting her first tooth in.. it hasn't pop'd in yet.. but we can tell it will soon





and my favorite....





she has started eating baby cereal daily! we thought we should give it a try when she started to actually open her mouth while we just ate~

mmmmmm

4 month check-up

Brenna has now doubled her birth weight

At our 4 month appointment last week she weighed

14 pounds 11 oz..

And boy can i feel it in my arms when i hold her these days. Even though

she has grown.. shes still smaller then my parents cat Libby!! :-)

For Christmas Mike got me the HotSling, its a wrap you wear around with baby snuggled in it and its a bit more comfortable then the Baby Bjorn carrier i had. Its also very cute and Brenna loves being all cozy in it.. now i just need to get Mike to wear it!!









After all the hype I ended up finding a Bumbo chair at the store Once upon a child ..so i bought it.. and she loves it! its so cute to see her sitting up like a big girl and it comes in handy a lot more than i thought.









I am still breastfeeding and occasionally giving her formula through out the weeks. In about a month we will start trying rice cereal!! yuummm

She has never liked tummy time very much but she is improving on that and Mike has her working her arms a few minutes a day like he were her trainer..its cute. I'm guessing by next month she will be rolling over.











Last but not least we have switched day cares and will be starting up with a great lady named Beth who owns and operates Beth's Kiddlywinks out of her home just 2 miles away from us. We are looking forward to having Brenna be in such caring arms.
