Alayna is 6, well 7 months old

Look at my big girl! Time goes by way too fast. Alayna is now 7 1/2 months old.
Some updates on our little gal are:
She weighs 18 lbs.!!
She is not crawling or rolling over:)
She prefers to scoot backward when moving somewhere.
She loves her daddy and has learned to call him by name: ( da da da)
She can also be very disagreeable and enjoys shaking her head "no!"
She is a great eater, but would like to be in charge and hold the spoon.
Loves to play peek aboo with her sisters. They can really get her laughing.
Looks like a cute little bunny with the two bottom teeth she has pushed up.
Loves to be outside in the sunshine
Is genuinely enjoyed and loved by all of us

Alayna"s getting pretty good at sitting up on her own now.

Taking an unwilling ride in our doll stroller

When Brynn's around, there's always something to dress the baby up in!

Gangsta girls!

Here the baby is some sort of gypsy. The baby really is a fun dress up toy for Brynn.

Aarrggh! Pirate Alayna

Plastic bags really are the best toys for Alayna. And they're so safe too!

Gotta love that little chubby girl!

My Brynn is 10!

Brynn Alyson Bailey
10 yrs. old
She is:
A lover of dance
A peacemaker
A wonderful sister(and babysitter in the making)
A late night crafter
Creative hair stylist
A lovely little muffin maker
The best director of downstairs plays!
A veracious reader
A wonderful friend to all

We are so grateful for Brynn! She truly does make the house more fun and exciting when she's around. Brynn is in her 4th year of ballet training and loves every minute of it. She can be found dancing everywhere she goes! Brynn really is the problem solver in our house. Her younger sister has a hard time eating her dinner and completing chores and instead of complaining, Brynn just makes a game out of it and helps her through it. Brynn would really like to babysit for us now. As much as Seth and I would love that we've got to wait a couple of years. Brynn has become a bookworm and complains when other activities cut into her reading time. She truly is a great friend, because she is so naturally kind to everyone she comes in contact with. She just came that way, we can't take any credit!

"Get your Game Face On!"
The theme for Brynn's 10th Birthday Party

This girl officially has more make-up and nail polish than I do!

A rousing game of "Guesstures"

Board games didn"t have enough action after awhile so there were a number of physical challenges that began. There was some stiff competition with the hula hooping!

Brynn got a version of "Dance, Dance Revolution" for Christmas. It was popular for all, even the boys as you can see:)

Shining Happy People!

Alayna was the living party favor that everybody kept passing around. Needless to say all the action from the party wore her out and she took a nice long nap!
Brynn has some pretty great friends.
Happy Birthday my dear!
