Getting Stronger Everyday!

Brinlie just keeps getting stronger and stronger everyday. One of these days she's just going to start crawling out of the blue! Here's a couple of pictures of her playing around on the floor--showing off her mad skills!

I love the little smirk on her face here!
"Is that the camera??!! I LOVE cameras!"
"Look at me roll over...."
"I can do lots of push-ups!"

Birthdays Galore!

April has been a month of celebrations over here! Brinlie sure is ready to P-A-R-T-Y! She's been great at all of the parties and can't wait for her very own birthday party---over Labor Day weekend--every year for the rest of her life!

Some of my Favorite pics

These pictures were taken while we were in Hawaii last month. I just love the adorable expressions on her face and how blue her eyes are. (Now let's see if they STAY blue!)

Sitting up--now she's a pro!
"Look how cute I am!"
Look at those big, blue eyes!

All good things must come to an end...

Well, the maternity leave is officially over! I went back to work last Monday and it's been CRAZY busy ever since. Soooooo, the blog will not be updated as frequently now that I'm a working mother. I'll tell ya, I've never been so happy to have a nap with Brinlie! She's such a good sport and I miss her so much everyday!

Brinlie in her exersaucer. Doesn't she look like she's riding a bull??!!

Brinlie in the Ocean

Brinlie was so cute in her little swimsuit--but then had her first skinny dipping experience later that same day. The first picture is at a warm pool that was not as nice or clean as the second pool--Champagne Pond. I guess this makes sense since the first was a public park and the second one we had to walk a mile through a gated community to find it. It was well worth the walk!

See all of the little fishes??!! They were very friendly!

Helicopter ride

Just a few pictures of our fantastic helicopter ride over the lava flow on the Big Island. It was amazing to see all of the waterfalls and the damage that the lava causes. Even Brinlie got to go, even though she slept most of the time.

We're Baaaack!

Well, we made it back from Hawaii in one piece. Sadly, part way through the trip Scott got food poisoning from a bad Moolatte at DQ!!! So much for that "garbage disposal" stomach! Other than that, we had a great time introducing Brinlie to family, flying over the lava flow in a helicopter, swimming in a crystal clear, warm pool off of the ocean, etc. Not to mention, eating tons of food that is really bad for you!
