Just talkin' and laughin'

Brenna is in the really fun cooing and smiling stage. This is a cute little video clip of her babbling and she laughs at the end of it. It is the first time I have caught her laughing on camera. I am proud of myself because although she thinks I am hilarious, she doesn't find the camera funny and usually wont even smile for it.

We usually have to change Brenna's entire outfit one to three times a day because of "leakage". Well if I can tell a blast is coming I will strip her down to save the outfit. Zach came into the room during one of these moments yesterday and he thought it was so funny so he snapped this picture. I must admit, it does look like she is sitting on the toilet. :)

Brenna's Blessing

We spent last weekend in Pocatello with our families. On Sunday we blessed Brenna. Her grandpa Terry got her the most gorgeous dress and her daddy gave her a beautiful blessing. A lot of our family was able to be there and it was really fun.


Here is Brenna with her some of her grandmas.

Zach's brothers came up for the weekend too so we were able to get all the cousins together.

Nursery

I finally finished Brenna's nursery (I know she is almost 2 months old, I am just really on the ball :) Anyways, Zach cut the letters out of styrofoam so it only cost me like ten bucks to do her name. Which is awesome since you can pay like four bucks per letter at the craft store! It is kind of sentimental to me because the dresser and the shelf on the wall were in my room as a little girl.

Havin' fun

Well, we have been having a great time lately. Brenna just gets more fun as the days pass. She is such a happy kid and she smiles all the time now. Her record is 7 hours straight sleeping at night and hopefully we will get the full 8 soon. Thanks to all the moms who suggested "Babywise", it has worked wonders for us!

We have also enjoyed some fun travel the last few weeks. We spent about a week in Pocatello visiting our families. We got to see Brian Reagan live which was awesome! We just got back from a relaxing weekend in Island Park with Derek and Bre. I have been reading Twilight out loud while we drive and don't tell him I told you but Zach is really liking it. I knew he would! :)

Good book suggestions anyone?

So I find that I feel like I am feeding Brenna ALL DAY if I don't have a distraction. I have been reading while she eats and that works great. My problem is I go to the library and just walk around and can't figure out what to check out. I would love to try some of your favorites if anyone is willing to share. Thanks!

More Brenna facts

Wow, Brenna is 2 weeks old today and she is not even the same kid! She is growing and changing every day. I feel so blessed because so far she is such a good baby. I actually have to wake her up to eat every 5 hours at night. She really never fusses unless she is hungry or has a messy diaper. We took her to the pediatrician this week and she is in the 95th percentile for height (big surprize with her giant parents :) the 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for head size. I am absolutely loving motherhood!

I know they say babys can't smile for a couple of months but I have video proof that Brenna smiled at 9 days old! This clip is a little long but she smiles sometime in the middle. Maybe I am just a proud mom but it sure looks like a smile to me!
