John bought this stuffed Mario for his soon-to-be son. He had no idea how much his daughter would like it. We keep it in the baby crib next door to Brynlee's room, but she often climbs into the crib to play with it. Oftentimes I find it on my office chair. This day she had tucked him into her bed. She is such a good little mommy.
Sad to say, I can't remember what was significant about taking pictures of Brynlee in bed. But she was acting silly and being cute (as usual).
This isn't about Brynlee at all, but I didn't want to do a full post on just cereal (that would be crazy). But one day in my 2nd trimester I suddenly remembered how much I loved this cereal. So I looked for it at a few grocery stores and couldn't find it. I was having some serious cravings, so even looked on Amazon for it. It was available at Amazon, but pretty pricey, so I just decided to let it go. Then one day John said he had a surprise for me. He had found the cereal at Walmart! What's funny is that now I see it everytime I go. Not sure why I didn't see it before, they may have just been out. Man, was that box delicious!
FYI: Brynlee looks naked, but she actually has a diaper on, it's just not visible in this picture.
Evidence that Brynlee loves to climb in the crib, play with the toys and wrap up the stuffed animals or characters with blankets, give them a toy and bottle, then either climb out or cry that she is stuck.
Brynlee's favorite dress still. She got it for Easter last year. Good thing it still fits. She calls it her "twirly-skirty". She totally picks dresses based on "twirlability". She is not a fan of dresses or skirts that don't "twirl".
We had a little bit of French bread loaf left over one morning and Brynlee asked for some. I was about to break off a piece to give to her, but she insisted on having the whole thing. It just made me laugh. She ate the whole thing too.
Swinging in the backyard. She looooooves to swing (always has) and also loves to push her babies in the swing.
I vividly remember some of her worst tantrums in life were because it was time to get off the swing....
A few weeks before baby's due date, I decided it was time for John to go in the attic and get all the baby stuff out. Of course, Brynlee was driving me crazy because she wanted to play with everything and take things all over the house, thus preventing me from organizing the huge mess. Seriously, huge mess!!! I couldn't believe how much stuff baby's require (or is nice to have).
Here she is with a binky in her mouth (finally had to hide them from her), baby Elmo in 1 bouncy seat, and lamby in other bouncy seat. They each have a toy or bottle.
The Disney movie "Frozen" came out Thanksgiving 2013. I had thought about taking Brynlee to a movie theater for her first time, but never got around to thinking more about it until February. Since John and I hardly ever go to movies in the theater (once a year or less), I could not believe the price for a kid's matinee. Then my mom invited me and Brynlee to go at the end of February/beginning of March. I knew the movie would be coming out on video in March, but still wanted to take her to the theater. She did really good in the theater, better than I expected. She would have eaten the entire bag of licorice if I had let her. I think it helped that she had heard the music at her cousin's house when we went for Sunday dinner's.
So when the movie came out on Blu-Ray March 18th, I picked it up that day. I was actually really excited to see it again because it reminded me of when I was little and how exciting Disney movies were. I have 4 Disney movies that are my favorites, but haven't seen a Disney movie I love since I was a kid. Until now. My mom burned the Frozen CD from iTunes for us and Brynlee loves it and constantly asks to listen to it.
We had to wait until the next day to watch the movie with Daddy (who hadn't seen it yet). Brynlee must have asked 15 times if we could watch it that day. Looking back, I'm glad we waited to see it until we did, otherwise it would have been months (instead of weeks) of her asking to see the movie again!
We had some leftover rootbeer and some snacks, then watched the movie in the basement.
We all loved it of course and Brynlee asks every day since then to watch it multiple times a day.
What was so cute is that the night before we watched the movie at home, I reminded Brynlee at bedtime that she needed to be good and go to sleep so we could watch Frozen the next day. She said to me multiple times, "I'm so excited mommy!" & "I love you mommy!".
It was adorable.
In the picture above she is eating a whole carrot, which is funny because she has never wanted a whole carrot before, she liked them in small pieces. I guess Olaf the snowman's nose was an inspiration to want to eat a whole carrot :)
