North Carolina

Brynn and I have been in North Carolina this week visiting some friends of mine that I used to babysit for in PA, and they have since become like family to me. It has been a good trip, and I have been able to be lazy and relax a lot which I don't get to do often!! I was a little nervous about taking Brynn on a 5 hour flight by myself now that she doesn't like sitting still, but she actually did pretty well on the way here. She has also done a lot better with sleeping in a new place than I thought she would! Plus, she has been doing really well with pooping on the potty this week. I have only changed 1 poopy diaper since we got here!! WAY TO GO BRYNN!!! Plus, on Sunday she actually told me for the first time that she had to go poop. She started saying "poop" while walking around the room, and as soon as I opened the door she headed straight to the bathroom and stood in front of the toilet and waited for me to take her diaper off and then went on the potty! I finally feel like we are making some progress. Now if she could just tell me when she has to pee. I guess I can't complain though since she is only 15 months old. She's a little bit ahead of the game. Overall we have had a nice relaxing trip, and it has been really fun to spend time with Niki and her kids and to see how much they have grown. I am excited to go home though because I miss Jesse a lot!!!!!!!!! Well, that's all for now. I will post pics from are trip after I get home.

Fetzer's summer party

On Thursday night we went to Jesse's work party which we always look forward to. It was a luau theme this year, so Brynn and I even dressed up (sadly I didn't get any pictures of Brynn in her little Hawaiian outfit). Well, I didn't really take many pictures at all, but Jesse got some funny ones of me trying to hula hoop. We also went home with some prizes!! We got 2 new beach towels, a little painting set for Brynn, a pineapple, a $50 gift card for the Olive Garden, and $25 gift card to Chilis!! So thank you Fetzers for the great prizes, great food, and great night!!

My messy eater

Brynn has been really into dipping her food in sauce lately. She was eating some eggs for dinner a few nights ago, and I decided to give her some ketchup to dip them in. This is what happened when I left the room...

Here are just a few random shots of Brynn from today. I can't believe my baby is now 15 months old!!! She is growing up way too fast! She is now walking really well, and gets around faster than me sometimes :) She is also starting to talk a lot more, which is cute, and also makes life a little easier when I am trying to figure out what she wants. I have decided that her favorite summer activity has been swimming. She loves being in the water! She is my little fearless fishy. I just feel so blessed to be her mother. And as you can probably tell from the pictures, she still only has 2 teeth. But that certainly doesn't stop her from eating anything and everything in sight! She has always been such a great eater!! And I have a feeling that she will have more teeth soon since I can see all of the top ones coming down right now...ouch!
