10 months old

WOW I can’t believe that my baby is 10 months old. She is growing up SO fast.

She is still just the happiest little thing ever. She loves to play and moves around like crazy.

She is eating so much now too. She loves mashed potatoes and pasta. She also loves cool whip. She still has no teeth but I am sure one day she will.

She is getting better everyday with her Sippy cup. She loves her juice.

Brynlee loves to play with her cousins and friends. This is her cousin Izzy. They are twinners :) She is such a good little girl, she loves to share. She shares with Mom, Dad and her friends at church.

Brynlee loves swimming :) and her daddy.

We went to the NICU reunion last week. This is where the babies that have been in the NICU come to a big party and we get to see how good they are doing.

This is handsome Micheal Howes. I took care of him last year in the NICU. He is now Brynlee’s boy friend.

Brynlee is crawling EVERYWHERE and is pulling her self up on EVERYTHING. She is walking around pushing her little toys too.

She is learning to communicate more and more. She is starting to say the following more consistently: mama, dada, All done, Ball, do ( for dog), that, and Yep. She is always full of smiles and giggles. She also has learned to give big wet kisses.

I sure love my baby girl!!! She is so much fun !!!

Swimming with the Canfield’s

I work with Christy in the NICU and she has twin little girls a few months younger then Brynlee and 3 kids older so we like to play. Her kids crack me up. We have lots of fun. We have gone swimming a few times. First was just here at my pool.

The kids loved it!!!!

The following week we went to Cherry Hill!!! It was SO much fun Brynlee LOVED it :)

I love the picture of Christy’s hubby Cameron…. he is taking a little rest with the twins :)

Brynlee LOVED Cherry Hill!!! Thanks for coming aunt Makall :)

Brynlee is such a mover now. She LOVED that she could just crawl around in pirates cove.

Cherry Hill is going to be a MUST EVERY year!!!!

Mini Vacation

Last weekend we decided to go on a mini vacation in SLC. We wanted to do one last fun thing before Jordan went back to school. Brynlee and I drove down and picked up Jordan from work. We checked in to the Hilton and then went to the observation deck of the church office building.

On the way we saw something you don't ever see in SLC … taxis all lined up for the outdoor expo. Brynlee LOVED riding TRAX.

We then headed off to Macaroni Grill. It was DELICIOUS as always!!!

The hotel’s pool was our next stop. Brynlee sure loves to play in the water.

Brynlee was such a good girl at the hotel. We brought her pack-and-play for her to sleep in. She got a little scared being in an unfamiliar place at like 5 am and ended up in our bed :)

Saturday we went on tours of the conference center and the new family history library.

We also went to the church history museum.

Lunch at the new City Creek Center food court.

It was a little too bright outside for pictures :)

It was a perfect weekend get away :) Thanks Jord for the fun weekend.

Makall’s Music camp

A few weeks ago we went and saw Makall perform in Music Camp. The camp is put on by her piano teacher Chris Harmon and also Carol Balaich. As part of the camp them sing songs from a musical and then do a play. It is a Chatwin tradition to do Music camp. :) This years music was from Wicked!!! I was a little worried about how Brynlee would do, but she LOVED the music. She sat there just staring at the kids singing.

Makall in her wicked costume

Brynlee LOVING every minute.

The play was Aladdin. It however was not your typical Aladdin. One of the Directors – Carol, writes the play. Makall was Genie ( one of the female leads.) She did a great job.

You were GREAT Makall!!!! It was a fun night.
