Why Not?

So I have been so behind..like we are talking haven't even blogged about Brynns first Christmas but I decided I just need to blog about NOW and then do throw backs to get caught up. So I figured since I just uploaded all of April photos off my phone and this weeks worth of May why not do a week in review..just a little glimpse into our crazy week!

Sunday: We went to church and found a new Sunday School class we really enjoyed. We went to lunch after church with some of the class and that was nice to get to know some people a little better. Small world- one of the teachers (who is actually leaving to go to seminary) went to high school with my cousin. They graduated with 19 people in Louisiana. Crazy! I thought the babies looked cute dressed in their Sunday best so I made them take a few pictures : )






Monday: I had Aschers Mothers Day Muffins with Mom. It was so sweet. I loved it. Brynn thankfully slept the whole time so I was able to have some quality time with my first born. They made tiles with his picture and a poem, a yearbook of the whole school year, gave us muffin mix, we made crosses to hang and ate plenty of donuts, muffins and punch. I have more pictures on my camera but this is the one I took on the phone.


While Ascher was at school we just played at home. She is getting more and more fun. I just love this age (10 months).

After school we went to one of the neighborhoods splash pads. It was awesome. There was NO ONE there. Ascher loved it and played for a good hour. Wore himself out. Justin was out of town so I wanted to fill our evening so that when we got home we could just do dinner, bath and bed. And we did just that.




Tuesday was another busy day. I am on leadership for MOPS and we had our last steering meeting of the year Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon I worked on slideshow and cookbook ( I am the publicity coordinator for MOPS). Justin came home Tuesday afternoon just for the night and to help me Wednesday morning. I apparently only took one photo on Tuesday- so unlike me.
Wednesday morning I took Ascher to school (Justin stayed home in am to watch Brynn) and then headed to my neurologist appointment. Still no answers- still claiming its just a headache even though I dont have a headache. After Wednesday appointment I am going to find a new doctor to get a second opinion. Wednesday after school we went over to our friends house to graciously asked us over for dinner when she found out Justin was gone (He left Wednesday afternoon again). We went and ate then headed to the splash pad and played until bedtime.
Thursday morning we hung out in the morning and I finished up cookbook before we headed to church to print it out for Friday mornings meeting. We didnt get done until lunch/nap time. By the time we got home and ate lunch Justin got home and we had a chill afternoon.
Friday morning we had MOPS. It was our last meeting of the year and it was a great meeting. We were able to chat with our tables and do one last craft. It was super cute tea cup bird feeder.

After Mops we came home and while kids took nap I got our stuff ready to go to College Station to celebrate my father in law on his retirement and my sister in law for her graduation with her masters. Once Justin got home we headed to college station for dinner and fun.







After dinner we went back to my in-laws where the kids swam, we ate cake and hung out. Finally around midnight we went to sleep.

Saturday morning we all got up and before long Ascher was begging to be back in the pool. So the entire day Saturday Ascher was a fish. He is really good- almost scary because he is so confidant. My mother in law, sister in law and myself all went and got pedicures for Mothers Day while the men watched the kids (hence Aschers sunburn...) We ate a delicious late lunch/early dinner before driving back home. Before we left Justin got his dads homemade ice cream recipe and apparently the only photo I took all day was of them looking it over & the pool. Sweet memories.

So there you have our crazy busy week and it didnt stop there...mothers day and birthday parties started this week out busy as well!!

Brynn 9 months 3-30-15

Brynn Madison
9 months
March 30, 2015

Brynn's Stats 
Weight: 
Height:
Head:
Teeth: nope-none! She sure is teething though, but then again I said Ascher was teething from 3 months on and he didn’t get teeth till he was over 1 year old.


Clothing size: 6-9 and a few 12 months. Again- need to go thru all her clothes and separate. Girl clothes are much more difficult than boys clothes were. Some of her dresses are 3-6 months but they just now fit her so its frustrating for me to put clothes away because some 3-6 still fit where other 3-6 do not fit at all. Justin always complains and says doesn’t she have any onesies? Just plain onesises! Yes…but she has so many cute clothes I try to put her in cute outfits.

Diaper Size: size 3- Swadlers  and size 3- Baby Dry at night


Eats: March was such a great month. Minus being sick at the beginning she ate great. We got on a good schedule and she loves to eat. She eats a 6 ounce bottle when she wakes up then an hour or so later she eats breakfast then sometimes a 4 ounce bottle- sometimes no bottle. She is so fickle. Lunch then 4-6 ounce bottle between 11:30-12. 


Sleeping patterns: Still doing the nap every 2 hours after she wakes up. She wakes up around 6 and if I give her a bottle she will occasionally go back to sleep till 7:30. Then two hours after she wakes up I put her down. Unless we are in the car then I kinda have to adjust according to how she is acting. Doing the nap every 2 hours after she wakes, I think she has finally caught up and is no longer over-tired so I am able to read her cues better.


Routine: Wake, eat, sleep, eat, sleep again 2 hours after waking up. Eats every 3 hours


Favorites & Little Facts: 
flew home in plane with a fever



doctor visits to check on how she is after getting sick in Utah
loves sitting in high chair attached to the island



dances to Elmo guitar and other songs
smiles huge when you say CHEESE and the flash is on the camera

first boo-boo from her brother (power ranger to the head- it was BAD!)

loves to  be outside watching the boys (we play outside with neighbors nightly) and swing in backyard & at the park
