The Last Five Weeks

This is what happens when my kids take my phone.  I get about 40 of the same picture that looks like this or pictures of some random part of the house.

We found out the Utah Grizzlies mascot lives across the street.

Brinley is starting to smile more.  She has slept through the night for the last five days.  It is usually 10 to 7, but right now she is still asleep and it is 7:45.  This makes our lives so much easier.  However, we do have this terrible time before she goes to sleep.  About 5 she begins her colick.  Thank goodness that is about the time Ryan is coming home.  Crying drives me nuts.  It is my tool for insanity.  We spend the rest of the night taking shifts until we can get her to calm down around 10, sometimes 11, and even once at 12.  We often comment that she is our "best colicky baby."  The others were worse and she really is helping me out by sleeping so much once she falls to sleep.

 

This big brother loves his sister.  I have seen such an improvement in his behavior since Brinley came to our family.  He still gives me a run for my money but he is getting better and I will take anything I can get.

Boston's field trip to Black Island Farms just me and him.  Grandpa took Cambree to dance and daddy was home sick with the baby.  Thankfully Brinley slept the whole time.  Boston is really loving his preschool teacher Ms. Kate and she told me she really loves him.  There is something about Boston that can melt your heart.  He's pretty sweet and innocent sometimes.

My Silly Boy

A Selfie

Smiles.  Poor Brinley always looks like a little boy but the headband is literally the last thing I'm thinking about when we are rushing out the door.  It is okay.  She's still cute.

This picture is at the mall.  I was trying to give the baby some sun for a few minutes (she's still a little jaundice) while the kids entertained themselves playing hide and go seek.

See....jaundice or just really tan?

My pretty girl

First bath at grandmas and the only one she has ever enjoyed.  Grandma has the touch because there was no wailing and screaming.

Cambree going to dance.  When Ryan and I looked at this picture, we had a glimpse of what our cute girl will look like when she gets older.  She wears that jacket and tells us that she is gorgeous.  I believe her.
