Growing like a weed!!!

For some reason, I feel like I have to have pictures to go along with my posts!!! That I why it has taken me so long to update. I still need to upload the photos, but I decided that it was more important to update without pictures that to not update our blog at all. So it has been a little over a month since we have updated it, and already so much has changed!!! Brynnley in now crawling like crazy. She usually stays in our family room and doesnt like to wander too far, which has been a huge blessing. She now has her two first teeth and luckily hasn't taken to biting people....yet! She loves bath time and actually LOVES to have her teeth brushed. She must be a daughter of a dental hygienist :) She is now 9 months old and is finally fitting well into her 6-9 month clothing. She just had her 9 month check up and she is finally putting on some weight. At her 6 month visit she was in the 4% for weight and now she is in the 18%!!! We are so exciting that she is growing and she has a pretty cute belly I might add. The girl will eat pretty much anything, so far she hasn't been the biggest fan of edamamae or green beens. She eats tons, but she is so busy...I think that is why she is a little light weight for her age. Her FAVORITE thing is her piglet stuffed animal. She has to have it to take a nap (it's a good and bad thing I think) and when she is getting crancky Piglet makes everything better. Anyway, besides Adam and I, Piglet is her best friend! She gets so excited and starts kicking and flailing around as soon as she sees Piglet. It is so funny to watch. She loves to babble and talk....we might have a problem getting her to stop talking once she is actually forming real words and sentences! She is still sleeping 12-13 hours and night and takes two good naps during the day. She is such a sweet girl and a blessing in our lives.
Adam has decided to start a winter project. He is ready to go outside and hit the lake, but the weather isn't very cooperative. So, he decided he would start to frame out the basement and start finishing it. This will hopefully keep him busy until summer is here!! He has his work cut out for him, but he is enjoying it so far.
As for me, I am enjoying being a mom and working a few hours a week. I recently finished re-staining some cabinets in our upstairs guest bathroom...and am pleased with how they turned out. It would be nice to re-stain the kitchen cabinets,but that might be a little ambitious for now. We will see!!! I too, am ready for summer...heck, spring would be nice!!! We are ready for the snow to melt and to see some green grass. I would kill to be able to take a nice walk outside and enjoy some fresh air. Anyway, I will try to post some pictures soon....TRY to!!
