Bryton Update

Bryton is at a stage where I swear she changes everyday. And she is turning into such a rascal! She gets into everything, and I literally cannot take my eyes off her for a second. She crawls everywhere, pulls herself up on everything, and is just so busy. But man is she cute. She will now give kisses when you pucker up and say, "Bryton, kiss . . . " She also loves to dance when she hears music. For example yesterday in church, as the organ began playing the closing hymn, she totally started shaking it, and I swear everyone around us was cracking up. Oh, and she is totally obsessed with dogs. Every morning when we go downstairs and she sees the dogs, she goes, "Do Do" (trying to say dog). And so I ask her, "what does the dog say?" And she responds, "Wu Wu." It is amazing how fast she learns. I just love her to pieces.

I've been tagged . . . AGAIN!

Okay, so I've been tagged more times than I can count. And I apologize to everyone who has ever tagged me, without my acknowleging it. But my friend Emily tagged me, and I have finally decided to respond. So, here it goes . . . here are 8 Things About Me!

1. I am totally and completely obsessed with my little girl!

2. I am a perfectionist and total control freak (I am talking OCD status).

3. My husband and I were friends for almost a year before we started dating. At the time I never would have predicted that we would end up together. It was one of those, "He's like my brother," things, and then just like that . . . things changed. And another year later we were blissfully married. Who would have guessed?

4. I am a family person, through and through. I LOVE my family! Which I realize most people do, but I mean I would rather be hanging with my family than anybody else. Some of my favorite pastimes are, late night family dance parties (with all of my siblings & my parents), and double dating with my parents.

5. I am Canadian. Well, not an actual citizen, but both of my parents are from Canada, most of my family still lives there, and we visit there several times a year. And I love it there! Canada is seriously one of my favorite places in the world.

6. I am obsessed with traveling and seeing the world. Europe, Africa, Asia - I want to go just about everywhere. I am not sure when it will happen, but I am convinced nothing will stand in my way . . . besides maybe the fact that I absolutely HATE airplanes. :)

7. Some of my favorite things include: hiking, yoga, ice cream, reading (particularily the Twilight series), Disneyland, Grey's Anatomy (I am so ready for this writer's srike to be over), doing anything with my hubby and little girl, and visiting anywhere new (I love vacations).

8. I am a very picky eater. I always try to deny it, but its true. There is way more I won't eat, than I will. Some of my dislikes include, milk, red meat, shell fish, chinese food, a lot of animal products, and for the most part, anything I am unsure of (or don't know the exact ingredients of).

* So, I know that this TAG is called 8 Things About Me, but I had to include a 9th thing . . .

9. I love my missionary! My little brother Joshua is on a mission in Oklahoma City, and I miss him more than anything. But I am also so poud of him for being such an amazing missionary.

Finally Crawling

Okay, so our princess is finally crawling, and loving it. She thinks she is such a big girl, and we get a kick out of watching her. Of course with crawling comes pulling herself up on things, and with that comes lots of crashes. But she is pretty tough. This video is a few days old, and she is getting more capable everyday.

Water Baby

While we were in Utah, my sister took Bryton in the swimming pool at the hotel. It was her first time, and she loved it. I cannot wait for the summer.

Visiting in Utah

Bryton and I wen to Utah with my mom to visit Kyley, and I was also able to see two of my best friends Eliza and Tiffani (and her new baby, Benton). Bryton thought Benton was a toy, of course.

Bath Time Fun!

Bryton loves bathtime. Especially now that she can move around freely, and sit up as she pleases.

A Day at the Park

Jeremy and some friends played football at the park the other day, and so Bryton and I went to watch. My friend Jessica was there with her kids, and it was a beautiful day. Bryton loved crawling off the blanket, onto the grass, and putting everything into her mouth. Needless to say this was much to my dismay. However, I am making a valiant effort not to streess too much about my little princess getting dirty, and germy.
This is Bryton and Brynlee (Jessica's little girl). So cute, huh?
