Bubbles!

I have been wanting to get Bryn a bubble machine for a long time and 

since all the spring/summer stuff is out down here I finally followed 

through!  I loved the commercial grade one that MyGym has at our 

mommy and me classes, but thought I would be disappointed with 

a store bought one.  I was wrong!

 She was so excited once the bubbles started coming!

 Every where she turned, there they were!

 I think that was a successful POP!

 She was squealing and screaming!  It was so cute!

 Stopped in amazement.  I was amazed too.  The bubbles were all different 

sizes and displayed pretty colors!  Gazillion Bubbles Typhoon was a great buy!

Outside Fun

A few weeks ago Brian and I went out and bought Bryn a small outdoor playscape.  

Ever since she got her rice table she has loved being outside.  Since the 

weather is perfect for being outside right now, we decided to give Marley 

a break from being followed and get Bryn something to climb on!

 Papa came over to help Mumma put it together since Dad was at work.

 Bryn thinking she can help get the tools.

 Can you see the determination on her face?

  I think I can, I think I can, I think I can CLIMB!

 The finished product!

 Here I come!

She seems to think that slides are both for climbing up and sliding down!

 Bryn's 2012 version of a "boom box".  My IPhone is in that toy and it is playing toddler tunes on Pandora radio.  She stops to clap every time it plays "If You are Happy and You Know It"

 She loves to play with the pool rafts...it's not warm enough to get in the water though!

 A favorite spot for Bryn and Marley.  They both like to be in the dirt hole together!

 I haven't figured out yet how to get them to stop digging!

Look Mumma!  This is a deep one!

Well, she doesn't seem like a "girly girl"!  And because of all this outside fun we have to have play clothes on when we go outside and quite often we get baths in the afternoon.  

But she's worth it!

Sea World

We picked a great day to go to Sea World.  It wasn't too crowded and we had great weather!

Casey and Ashli were in town and we all headed out!  We got there and headed straight for the One World Shamu show.

 The baby whale jumping for us

Bryn intently watched the show...well, we all did!

Then while Brian, Casey, and Ashli went off to ride the roller coasters, Bryn 

and I headed to see the Elmo and Abby show.  It was quite cute.  

(My how my idea of a good time has changed)

Another hit for Bryn.  

 Uncle Casey getting some quality time with his goddaughter.

 Flipper put on a show right in front of us

 Everyone sporting their shades

Touching the sting rays.  She really liked it!

 Checking out the whale and dolphin show

 These whales can jump!

All the dolphins together.

 Pointing out all the fish and sharks

Picking out a dolphin that Uncle Casey bought for her

We now have a pass to go back for the rest of the year, so we will be making many trips.  

Bryn was so good all day even without a nap!

My BUSY girl!

Now that Bryn is not only walking, but practically running, she 

is one BUSY girl!  I call her my tornado because everywhere I 

look she has left a disaster.  And the minute I get one cleaned up,

 she has moved on to create another.  Gotta love her!

 Bryn got a sand/water table for Christmas, but we filled it with rice.

She loves to put her hands in it and find buried treasure.

 But in no time she is checking out the pool.

 And she found the doggie door...feet first is not the best way!

 Snow Bunny, Bryn!

Banging on the door to get outside.

 And she's off.....again

 This is the best way to get out the door

 Off to run with Marley.  Unfortunately Bryn's diaper is usually 

hanging out like this, but I have no choice as her jeans are still

 3-6 months and hang off her butt!

 Sweeping up the rice she has spilled and 

the dirt her and Marley have tracked in.

All done!

Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas season this year!  Bryn was good with the tree, she only took a few ornaments off, and the presents that appeared before Christmas - she only tried to open Papa's!  We visited Santa a few days before Christmas...

 She enjoyed him from a distance but was not happy 

when Mumma dropped her in his lap.

 Thank you to Mrs. Claus.  I am not sure what she said, but it got Bryn's attention.

 And then she was ok....Santa on the other hand seems tired of unsure babies!

 Christmas Eve after a very busy girl at church.

 Bryn and Aunt Cheryl

 I got a Powerball ticket!  But I didn't win :(

 Is there more?

 Helping Marley unwrap his soccer ball

 Too funny!  I am not sure if I caught a yawn or a sneeze or disgust in her outfit!?!

 All better now :)

 A helmet for bike rides

 I got a shopping cart!

 And she's off!  Too bad Supermarket Sweep is off the air!

Smiling at her Peek-a-Boo Bear

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
