Make Way for Brinley Mae!

Brinley Mae is getting better and better at crawling.  With this new skill, she wants to explore everything!  Lately, she has not really been interested in toys when just she and I are home--her new interests are: cords, floor vents, baskets, being under furniture, trashcans, and outlets.   Luckily, Brinley's still not very fast, but she sure is into EVERYTHING!  She's always loved books, but now that she's mobile, she's recently discovered her bookshelves full of books....well, now the bookshelves are empty.
Discovering her bookshelf in her room--jackpot!

I meant to get an "after" shot of all the books on the floor...but here you get the idea.

So happy to be able to look in the toy basket all by herself!

Our happy baby!

Found more books!

Very pleased with herself

More vents and exploring under the desk

Brinley has always enjoyed her baths, but now
she truly plays in the bath, and splashes all around.
  I think as a family we all look forward to bath time with our Mae!

7 Months!

Brinley is 7 Months now!  She continues to be lots and lots of fun!  It was hard to take a good photo this time since she's so wiggly!  Enjoy!

She's so proud to be standing all by herself :) (with the laundry
basket's help that is)




Crawling over to get the sign...


This is Brinley's "glamour shot."  This is her position before she
sits up from crawling position.

Family!

We are so lucky!  Brinley has had the opportunity to meet lots of family in the last month.  Below are just a selection of some fun photos.  Also, Brinley is changing like crazy!  She is crawling, learned to sit up (from laying down), and can pull to standing.  Hopefully we'll have some videos soon!

Brinley is so blessed to have 6 cousins--wow!  We get to visit family again in a few weeks, so we'll have more family photos soon!
