Our Brynn Baby is 3 months

I'm way behind on posting about Brynn turning 3 months! Time seems to be flying and I don't like it one bit. I'm thankful she is still a tiny little thing so that I still think she's my itty bitty baby I left the hospital with.

Brynn may want to kill me for the double chin picture one day but it cracks me up! 

A week before Brynn turned 3 months she came down with a little virus. Thankfully it only lasted about 2 days. But at her sick visit she weighed 10lbs 8oz, We just weighed her on Friday and she weighed a little over 11lbs so I can't wait to see what she really is next month. She is sporting her 0-3 month clothes, size 1 diapers, and occasionally some of her newborn clothes.

Cow Appreciation Day & The 4th of July

This past month Brynn has become quite the talker. She loves when we lay next to her on her playmat that way she can tell us about everything. It's one of our favorite things to do with her and she gets quite excited about it.

Brynn's first pedicure

Her Daddy has also gotten her to chuckle a few times. Baby laughs are the sweetest sound in the whole world. We are so thankful for such a happy baby. She spends the majority of her days giving the cheesiest smiles and the sweetest coos. Although she isn't perfect and will definitely let us know when she is hungry or tired.

River Dogs Game & Post Bath Time 

Brynn loves to be outside. When she is being really fussy we will go sit on the patio with her because it calms her right down. We go on lots of walks and she always ends up falling asleep. A sweet friend gave us a baby float for the pool and Brynn loves it so much. She fell asleep in it and probably slept there for a good 35 minutes.

She is also becoming quite the thumb sucker despite her Daddy's efforts to keep them away. She will pull her pacifier out in order to put her thumb in, sometimes both! haha. I also gave Brynn her first pedicure. It was so hard to do but it's the cutest thing...and of course I had to make us matching! ;)

We can't wait to see what this next month brings. I'm pretty sure it will include consistent rolling over! It's so fun to watch Brynn discover the world around her. We are so thankful to be her parents!

Brynn's Blessing Day

I just realized I never blogged about Brynn's blessing day. We decided to do it on June 19th that way both of our families could be here since it was the same weekend as Brad's white coat ceremony. It also happened to be Father's Day which I think made it extra special since it was Brad's first one!

Brad gave her a short but sweet blessing in church along with the men in our families and some of our dearest friends here in Charleston. Brynn was wide awake during the blessing but remained quite throughout it, thank goodness. We were really stressed she was going to cry since our sacrament meeting just so happens to be during her morning nap time.

It was funny because after the blessing the fire alarms in the building went off. Definitely a day to remember. Two of our friends actually recorded the blessing (I'm not sure that is allowed but they did it without us asking and they have emailed it to me). I'm really grateful to have a recording of it and plan on typing it up for Brynn to have once she is older.

I'm so thankful that Brad was able to give her a name and a blessing. Each night I pray that she will always strive to be a true disciple of Christ and that she will realize what a blessing being a member of the Church is in her life.

That is my biggest prayer for my children. To know that they have a Heavenly Father who loves them and wants them to return to Him. I know that if they follow the teachings of the Church they will experience true joy in their life. What more could a mother ask for than for her children to be happy and healthy?!

Stayed tuned this week for Brynn's 3 month post! I have to take pictures today!
