Day to Day

8 weeks already??!!! She's growing up so fast, and it's so much fun to watch how much she changes from day to day. She's "talking" so much now and is so alert. The more you talk to her, the more little sounds she starts spitting out. She also LOVES the camera -- get the video recorder or the camera out, and she'll glue those blue eyes to it and follow it around the room. I could take a million pictures of her every day. She's not very good about smiling for the camera -- for now, she likes to smile after you take the picture. :)

Going to the doctor tomorrow morning for her 8 week vaccinations. I can hardly wait to see how much she weighs now!!!

Babies Babies and more Babies

Braylin is so excited that she's going to have two cousins and a best friend born this year! Now we're waiting to see who's having girls and who's having boys!

1. We are so excited for Jay and Heather! Baby Hayter is due in November. Braylin said she really really really wants it to be a girl. I always forget to get an updated picture of Heather and Braylin, but here's one from the hospital after her birth.

2. As you know, Jen & Ray are pregnant, and we're ready for them to come in town for Easter so we can do an ultrasound!!!!!

3. Braylin has another cousin due in October! Matt (Jay's brother) and Kasey are expecting a baby too! All these babies around the same age... so much fun!!!!!

Picture time

The hat Laura made her sure came in handy during these days of 40 degree weather!

Watching Baby Einstein -- part of her morning routine

7 weeks already?!

Oh my goodness, where does the time go?! Braylin is already 7 weeks old, and I have loved every minute of it. We are having so much fun watching her change each day.

A few things we love to watch her do . . .

1. Smile! We could spend hours trying to get her to smile over and over and over. Just one smile makes my day!

2. Talk -- Those cooing sounds are absolutely adorable! I like to say she's talking to us because it's funny when she'll make a sound when you ask her a question... as if she knows exactly what she's saying.

3. Crossing her feet -- For those of you who have seen her, you know what I'm talking about. Every chance she gets, those long feet are crossed and looking oh so kissable.

4. Playing with her hands -- She loves to interlock her fingers, and she's pretty good at it!

5. Facial expressions -- She has many of these that she loves to interchange every few seconds. Her pooping face is absolutely hysterical. I must admit I laugh at that one every single day.

6. Look at the camera -- The camera seems to fascinate her most of the time. Get it out, and I can almost guarantee she'll lock her eyes to it.

7. Watch Baby Einstein -- This child LOVES her newborn Baby Einstein videos! The Baby Bach, Baby Mozart and Baby Beethoven are wonderful at grabbing and keeping her attention.
