Access Denied!

This week we had to put the baby gate up in the hall. Brynley has started to stand and cruise this week. She will follow anyone down the hall. She likes to go into rooms and eat things or make mischief!

Here she is discovering the gate. Madison and Zach thought it was fun to play on the other side. They both like to color and Brynn will eat their crayons so, they took the opportunity to color in peace!

Well, she didn't like the fact that she wasn't invited in the fun! She was crying and "yelling" the kids. So I grabbed the camera and called her name!!
She was so sad and mad at the same time!

Oh well, I hope you had a good laugh!

The Nativity

Madison is obsessed with the nativity. Starting at the beginning of December she takes any chance she can get to dress up like Mary! She even has Zach dress up like Joseph, both with blankets tied to their heads. Last night I went to check on her and she had a blanket draped over hear head like Mary, NO JOKE!

So the other day Zachary made a car ramp out of a box. Well Madison saw it and only thought one thing, Nativity!! Here eyes practically lit up! So her and Zach dug in their closets and found things that they could in their version of the Nativity.

Here is what they came up with......

Let me give you a little tour of the Nativity: Mary and Joseph are played by Dorothy and the Tin Man. The shepherds are The Mad Hatter, Flynn Ryder (from Rapunzel), and a green army guy poised and ready for battle! The Littlest Pet Shop pony is the donkey, and a dalmatian dog is a cow. Inside the basket is baby Jesus played by, Prince Eric (from Little Mermaid).

They were very proud of their work!

11 Months Already!

I can't believe that Brynley is already 11 months old!! I can't believe how fast the year has gone. She has become quite the silly baby. She growls and "barks" at things. Like the Christmas Tree. At first she just cried every time we came close to a tree. Then she would just sit and stare, now she "barks" and gently touches the branches.
*She is crawling everywhere and will eat anything you leave on the floor. Like legos and pennies! So far I have gotten it out of her
mouth before she actually swallows it!
*She has started standing and letting go for a few seconds.
*She has to friends at Church. Kaylee T. who is two weeks older, and Camie T. who is 3 months older but is about the same size.
* Brynn has one tooth on the bottom!
* She loves her blanket which we call "fluffy." Too bad it's a one and only and can't buy them anymore, which makes washing it hard!!!


I let her grab one just for the picture!

She wouldn't let it go!

This one makes her look so old! Almost no more baby!

Baby Godzilla!

Brynley has become BABY GODZILLA!!


Since Brynley has started crawling, she has figured out where the fun stuff is to play with! She will now follow Madison and Zachary where ever they go! She knows that if she follows them they are doing something fun!

So lately I have been hearing, "MOM, can you come and get Brynn! She is getting our stuff!!" We just laugh and tell them to deal with it. Zachary usually picks her up and brings her to us. But she turns right around and goes right back!!!

Christmas should be fun! We had our first encounter with a tree today and she just cried! So maybe she will leave it alone!

So I finally got a video of her crawling. She usually stops moving when I get the camera out! So this time I has her crawl toward the camera and that seemed to work!
