A few Firsts!

First Tooth, First Snowfall, and First time Mommy has had a few minutes to get things done while Brooklyn is awake!


First snowfall Good Handle of her fingers and spit bubbles

Brooklyn experienced her first Tennesse Snowfall and Cold weather this January. It was 30 degrees at it's coldest I think, so we got to use her winter clothes, like the adorable bunting sack from Judy and her cute Hat D-Daddy got embroidered for her and matching sweater. She is also very good at picking things up and grabbing things with her little fingers!

One of the biggest changes to our routine since returning from Canada is Brooklyn has a new toy and we Love it! This is the newest "Baby Find" I've realized Mom's really shouldn't go without! The Exer-saucer! I received one at the Sip n' See that we had in December from Gail, Sissy and Linda and it is a life-saver! It's the first thing that I've found that I can put her in and she can play on her own for over half an hour! As you can tell, she loves it as much as I do!

Lots of cute pictures. Brooklyn's really growing up. Exersaucers are a mom's best friend (until they grow out of them and you don't know where to store it).

Shannon loved her exersaucer and now Aubrey's using. It's hard to know what toys are going to be worth the money, but I definatley believe that is one of them.
I love that Trey is already teaching her "sign language"!

Yes, the exer saucer is worth every penny (not that I paid for it, thanks Melissa). I LOVE it! I want one for every floor of my house, heck every room!

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
