I must say....girl has got some style!


So for the last couple of months, mostly on the weekends, I will tell Brooklynn to go get herself dressed for the day. I let her pick out anything she wants to wear. This is what you get when you tell a 3 yr. old to go get dressed.



The picture of her shoes and socks was a school day when I did let her pick her outfit. She had the silver sparkly shoes, yellow and blue socks and a hot pink dress.

I must say....girl has got some style.

Until next time!!

7 months!

Braelynn just turned 7 months! It seems like last week Justin and I were loading up and heading up to the hospital to have sweet Lil B. I will never forget hearing her squeaky little cry for the first time and then Justin runs up to me and says "Babe...she looks exactly like Brooklynn". I just laid there on the operating table crying like a big baby listening to my Lil B squeak away. She cried up until the point when the nurse put her face up next to mine. I rubbed her little face and talked to her until she calmed down. Justin, Brooklynn and I are so in love with that little girl. Even in the middle of the night when she wakes me from my beauty sleep and I go in her room to see what the fuss is all about and she looks up at me a smiles I can't help but smile and giggle back at her. She melts my heart.



Braelynn Reese in a nutshell at 7 months....

  • Goes to bed at 7 pm


  • Sometimes sleep all night but sometimes doesn't it's 50-50


  • Sits up


  • Crawling everywhere...not the normal crawl though...it's an Army crawl. She is fast!


  • Loves to eat! Loves everything except peas (I can't blame her though)


  • Claps


  • Laughs


  • Loves watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Sometimes that's the only way I can get dinner made in the evenings is to turn it on.


  • Starting to get some hair come in. Pretty sure it is going to be really thick!


  • Not much of a bow type of girl. I am still working on this.


  • Weighs 21 lbs.


  • Size 3 diapers....they are getting snug.


  • No teeth....should be coming in real soon though.


  • Grunts and yells at me when I don't feed her fast enough. I am still working on this as well.


  • Loves her Mommy and Daddy


  • Absolutely adores her Big Sis



She also said her first word the other day. Guess what it was.....Daddadadadadada!! I have been working every night for the last couple of weeks on Momma. Obviously she hasn't been listening!

Until next time!
