7 Month Monkey Picture (Jan. 14th, 2011)

Brinley is 7 months!!!

And slobbering...hopefully we will get that tooth soon!

Brinley is doing so good! She is eating cereal and fruit and vegetables, along with drinking her formula.  She loves all her fruits (bananas are her favorites)...pears, peaches, blueberry, etc.  Peas are her favorite vegetables, she is a little pickier with her veggies than with fruits.  Brinley is a happy baby.  She sleeps real good, taking a morning nap (about an hour) and an afternoon nap (about 1 1/2 hours) and all night (9pm-7am).

November...Time to Catch Up!

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything and so I have ALOT of catching up to do!  The next few posts might mainly be pictures.  It is November 30th and this year has gone by so quickly.  Brinley has grown and I want to record it all for her, so I am going to catch up in the following posts.  There have been so many pictures taken and milestones we have reached and new things we have learned (Brinley and me!).  So here I go....

And on January 4th....

In Gainesville, Georgia for New Year's

We got to Georgia on Thursday afternoon and went to the store and unpacked and settled in.  We stayed with Meredith and Kevin at his house.

     The back of the house.....

   We stayed in an area that was upstairs and had a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room.

  This is our  balcony....

 

Every morning there were deer you could see from the balcony.....

Friday was New Year's Eve and we hung out and went to the store to get things to make a big dinner.
Meredith and Brinley....

Brinley in her jumper. Kevin's doorways are higher than ours are, so Brinley's feet were off the ground quite a bit.....

Brinley's New Year's Eve outfit....

Kevin made a fried turkey, then we went and saw a few fireworks, then it was almost New Year's.....

Getting ready for the champagne toast....

Meredith and Kevin....

Happy New Year!!!  Brinley made it to midnight....

Saturday we went to the Georgia Aquarium, where we took a bunch of pictures.....

Brinley asleep in her bed.....

Sunday Brinley played with Grandpa while Johnny and I packed our stuff and got ready to leave.....

Brinley was exhausted and must have been upset to fly commercial after the great flight to Georgia. She screamed and cried and we couldn't calm her down for about 20 mins when we were about to leave then when we were taking off.  Once we started getting in the air, we gave her a bottle and she finally calmed down and slept the entire flight until we landed back in Dallas.

Brinley's first flight

Meredith and Kevin invited us to Georgia to visit over New Year's weekend.  We flew with Johnny's family....his mom, dad, Meredith and Kevin (and Charlie!) to Gainesville, GA.  We left on Thursday, December 30th.  We took a private plane and Brinley did so good!  She enjoyed it and everyone enjoyed her and took TONS of pictures!

The plane....

The view from the window as we are leaving...

There were monitors by each seat that showed a map from Dallas to Gainesville and where we were....

 Then it would switch to the next screen and look like this....

 -77 degrees!!!!!

 This is towards the end when we are almost there....
