Gymnastics

Since Braylin was 18 months old, she has been going to gymnastics weekly at Jill's Gymmastics. I thought it would be a great activity for her to do to burn some energy each week, and oh was I right. She absolutely loves it!

Jay has always loved taking her so we would take turns. However, since about 33 weeks mommy has had to quit going. So Jay's mom (Poppi), Jay, and Jay's brother (Uncle Scott) have taken turns. Braylin got a kick out of Uncle Scott taking her 1 time -- I think she had a lot of fun showing off for him!

Here are a few pictures from last time that Jay took her. The lighting is not good in there, and I am far from learning how to use my camera in low light settings, so please ignore all of the blurs! :)





Happy Birthday Daddy

Celebrating Daddy's 31st birthday last weekend! Daddy and GG share the same birthday, so we had a great time having pizza & cake with Daddy at home, and then more birthday cake that evening at the hospital with GG. Braylin had so much fun singing Happy Birthday MULTIPLE times that day. :) I think we probably heard the song a million times.... it was so precious!


The things kids say....

Things that make us laugh....

Jay wearing t-shirt & jeans, and trying to dress Braylin for the day.
Jay: "Braylin, lets put on your pants so we can go play outside. Look, Daddy has his pants on."
Braylin: "Those aren't pants, Daddy. I call those jeans."

When we potty trained, we used 2 M&Ms as a reward for going on the potty. She knows all she gets is 2 every time. No more. Then last night she said this....
Braylin: "I tee-teed on the potty. I neeeeeeeeedddd (thinking about what she needs) 4 emmy-M's and 5 sweettarts. Yes, that's my good idea. And it's a gooooooodddddd idea Mommy"

Braylin: "Mommy, my baby dolls milk is empty. She needs more milk. Let's get some" (handing me the baby bottle and walking into the kitchen toward the refrigerator)
Mommy: "ok Braylin"
Braylin: "oh oh oh mommy, don't really open the bottle. Just pretend. We only pretend we are getting more"
Pretend??!!! I guess her imagination has taken flight. She loves to pretend we are changing the baby's diaper too.

Where do I begin...part 3

Ok, so I still need to post updates on the house, baby, the nursery, Braylin's room... oh my goodness I'm SO very behind!!! I absolutely LOVE reading everyone's blogs but I just am not good at my own! :)



Hopefully I can post some more this week! Where does all of our time go? LOL

Where do I begin...part 2

How about Braylin's 2 year old birthday party! Luckily the painters finished our living room 1 day prior to the party, which I must admit worked out pretty well considering the living room was free of all furniture which left a huge open room for a party!
We had a "Pancakes & Pajamas" party early on a Saturday morning -- had a great turnout, tons of fun, lots of sweets, and a spoiled rotten birthday girl (who I must add, refused to wear her bow, birthday hat, and/or adorable pj-matching butterfly slippers)! She had so much fun having her friends at her party!





Where do I begin....part 1

I guess I'll start with Christmas. Though Braylin was a little scared of Santa when up close and personal, so had a lot of fun this Christmas! She loved waving at Santa when we were out shopping, and she talked constantly of presents, baby Jesus, and Santa...but when it came time to sit on his knee, the tears began flowing. Had a great time with family though! Here are just a few pictures. I'm horrible about taking the time to post pictures...there are just WAY too many to choose from for Christmas!

Updates

I have been terrible about updating the blog! My apologies -- I honestly think everyone has given up on checking it since I'm always so behind! :) Here's a few things we've been up to...

Halloween with Emma, Taylor, and Bryce


Begging mommy to paint her toenails


Advanced to her big-girl bed! After daddy moved her nursery furniture to her little sister's room, Braylin got to see what it's like to have a big-girl's room! She was so excited to have a twin size bed, we haven't had ANY trouble getting her to sleep in it.

Thanksgiving at my parents'
We sure missed having GG & Gramps there but glad GG is coming home from the hospital tomorrow!

Things we've been up to...

Since both of Braylin's cousins were born 1 day apart, we had a weekend full of birthday parties!
Taylor's 1st Birthday
Trying to take pictures of Taylor with all of her cousins.
She was so glad Jack and Cooper's parents drove them in from the Dallas area for her party!
Bryce's 1st Birthday

Entertaining the girls in mommy's new bathroom while the guys are grilling.
Emma and Braylin were dying to try out "the big tub with jets"


Refusing to smile for the camera

And if you haven't already heard, Braylin is going to be having a little SISTER! Jay got his wish... another little girl. I guess God doesn't think we would know what to do with boys. :)

Playdate

Here are a few pictures from our playdate a few weeks ago. All of these pictures came from Gennan, and somehow we have no pictures of the birthday boy! Gennan's little boy CJ let us celebrate his special day with cake and ice cream. Had a great time!

Laura Inscoe Photography-As-A-Hobby

Laura, if you decide to quit being a NICU nurse and become a full-time photographer AND move back to the South, I would most definitely use you for my pictures! :)

I need to give credit for the header photo to Laura -- she took some precious pictures of Braylin and her neice Elyse when we got together a few months back. Laura you are so good with that camera! Thanks for letting me swipe a photo or two. :) Hope to see you soon! Miss you bunches

It's August!!!

I know, I know... it's been a month since I blogged. To be honest, I have been such a slacker at taking pictures lately which is usually the only thing I post. So, here's a little update on what's been going on in the Langham household.

Braylin is growing like a weed! At her 18 month appointment a few weeks back, she weighed in at 28lbs (90th percentile) and 33inches (again, 90th percentile). She was SO good at the doctor's office -- it was a little scary how well it went. Dr Haynes walked in to an immediate "Hi Docker Haynes", then watched as Braylin showed Dr. Haynes how to listen to her tummy and find "two piiiiiink budderfies" in her ears. She was a trooper getting her vaccination and then talked all the way out of the office. I couldn't believe how well it went, and I am surely not expecting that again (but hoping!).

The child apparently picks up on every word heard throughout the day. Dr Haynes says she is talking like a 2 year old and couldn't get over her words and phrases. We find it quite hysterical because she surprises us every day with something new. Here's a few of what she's been doing.

1) pull up at our house: "No mama, no home. Go see cows." So, Jay drives her down the road to see the cows.
2) Poppi was putting her in her car seat today in the rain so I offered to come around and do it for her: "No mama, stay dare. Poppi's got it"
3) everything is "I get it, I get it" -- She's wanting to do everything on her own.
4) picky eater sometimes: "No mo mators mommy. Hod dog, berries, peeease, aiin (and) mo miiiiilk"
5) after MDO: "I paid (played with) Miss Connie"
6) sings the alphabet, counts to 10, loves to sing Jesus Loves Me
7) loves to color and draw circles
8) could play outside ALL day, even in the 100 degree heat
9) never seen batteries in her life but proceeded to turn the baby monitor over and say "No badderies"
10) loves books...can't seem to get enough of them


Ok, I could go on and on, but there's only so much you want to hear about someone else's kid. So I'm stopping there. :)

The house remodeling is coming along... I'll put pics on here once we have it finished. We are so excited! The master bathroom & bedroom are almost finished...hoping to move our stuff out of the extra bedroom into the master room in the next week or so. Can hardly wait!! Then on to the kids bathroom and and hardwood floors. Oh what a project this has been. But a fun experience (ok, maybe a little more stressful than fun but I know it'll be worth it in the end). :)

We recently decided to speed up the remodeling process since we are going to have a new addition to the family in March!!! Since word is getting out pretty fast, I thought I'd better post it on the blog. I work on the labor unit and there is no hiding pregnancy among labor unit girls when they all know you're wanting another baby soon. So my family knew super early and we are now slowly spreading the word to friends. We are so excited!!! And Braylin loves wearing her new tshirt (horrible phone pic but the only one we happened to get the day we told our family). It's so hard getting pics of Braylin now because she is CONSTANTLY moving!!!

More updates soon

July 4th

We had a great time in Perdido Key for a long July 4th weekend. We met my parents, Jen & Ray & Taylor, and the Austin family down there on a Friday and stayed til Wednesday, and what a great time it was!

The beach was pretty, the clean up crews were busy, the water was clear (well, no oil balls floating around), and the weather was sunny! Jen was the designated photographer and has yet to get me any pictures, so here are just a few from the trip.
