For Old Times Sake

I laughed so hard when I saw this so i just had to post it. I know it is one of those things that isn't that funny to everyone else but it is to me. Maybe you just have to know my Dad.

Halloween

Halloween was a hit this year for Keeley. She asks me every day if we "can have Halloween." They made some pretty cute monkeys, the cutest if you ask me.
Matt did an install job to start the day off then when he came home we carved a pumkin, made some chilli (P.S. coke taste horrible in chili, in case you were going to try it) and then headed off to the Halloween Carnival at the church. Keeley loved it and we are still enjoying the candy from that.
After the carnival we went and did some traditional trick or treating just to say we did it NOT because they needed any more candy!

Brinley slept through most of Halloween but when she woke up she found her tail and spent some time playing with that while we did the last few houses. All in all it was a great day and a super fun filled weekend.

Fall Carnival

We had a ton of fun with our friends the Ellingtons on this excursion to the pumpkin patch.
Wesson and Keeley are best buddies. I LOVE this little boy he can hold Keeley's hand ANYTIME.Wesson is the man version Keeley. They are crazy together but less crazy than when they are apart plus they are so into each other.
While we were there we. . . .

jumped
rode tall slides
talked with the clown
took a hay ride

played on the fire truck
got a heart balloonrode the airplanes several times :)
and picked out the "perfect" pumpkin

What a day. Ohh by the way this precious little thing was HAPPY the entire time. What a good baby I have.

Whats "In" this Fall

Solids. . .

Isn't she cute with food in her mouth. Brinley started solids just after 4 months and she is becoming a pro at it these days. Her favorite. . .carrots but green beans should be left at the store in her opinion.

4 months

Okay we are taking a break from my back blogging to tell you about this little cutie.


Isn't she perfect. She has grown far to quickly for my liking. I was so excited everytime Keeley did something new as a baby but with Brinley I just want to hold on to her being little for more time. Things are crazy around our house, like always. Infact, Matt is in the middle of switching jobs which came 2 weeks earlier than we expected. Gotta love employers! But this little girl brings alot of happiness to us both. How can you be down when you look at a face like that. I took her into the Doctor today and here are her stats.

25.5 " -95th percentile
12 pounds 14 ounces -38th percentile

She is as healthy as can be but even skinnier than Keeley if that is possible. Matt and I both thought she was so chunky but I guess not. The doctor made a note that she was slowing down in her growth but said that she looked healthy and just to start her on solids in the next month to help her chunk up.

She has the cutest little chuckle. She always laughs with single sounds usually three single sounds to be exact. If you walk past her and don't stop to say hi she screams at you. Brinley loves attention.

She thinks her sister is so interesting but hates it when Keeley screams, then again who doesn't!

She started rolling in the past two weeks. Mostly from belly to back but she can be found under tables or falling of a couch with her aching back scoot that she has mastered.
Yes, her hair is still red and we love it! Once in a while we see the red head show through with a demanding act of "I must have it right now." Other than that Brinley is just as perfect as can be.
We love you baby girl, you are such a wonderful part or our lives. YOu make the stress melt away withthat little smile.
