My Big Little Girl





Brighton's gotten really good at eating at the table in her booster seat.  She loves drinking out of a big girl cup, eating dinner with a big girl spoon and getting to eat at the table with Mommy & Daddy.  I have to say that dinner time is a lot better now that she eats with us and we don't have to coax her to swallo every single bite!  We still have fun dinners where she's not too into eating, but it's gotten a lot better.

Gavin's Birthday

A couple weekends ago we went to Gavin Naylor's 3rd birthday party. Brighton loved having all the big kids around to play with. She wasn't sure about the pinata at first, but once she saw what the other kids were doing - swinging a light saber and hitting something - she was all over it! Giving Baby Brynn kisses

Camping

We took Brighton camping this weekend for the second time ever. She selpt in her own sleeping bag and pretty much slept through the night. She woke up around 4 and I moved her into our sleeping bag cause I didn't want her crying to wake up our friends. She had a ton of fun walking around the fire, playing with sticks, drinking hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows. Tom & I were even able to have some fun!

Trying to pawn carrots off of Gavin. He wasn't thrown off by her cute looks.

Buzzette Brunch

I hosted an impromptu brunch on Friday. Girls from the squadron came with their kiddos and we chatted and ate for a few hours. It was a nice release after the stressful week most of our husbands had.
The spread This is Brighton "playing" with Baby Brynn and Baby Libby. She normally does a great job playing with them, they both love to watch her run around and do stuff, but as soon as they started to play with her Care Bears, she became a lil possesive. She still let them have some, just not all of them. And yes, those are actually my Care Bears from when I was a little girl.

New favorite past-time

Brighton has discovered coloring and wants everyone to share in the joy with her. She'll start to color, then say, "Mommy, color with you?" Which of course means come color with me. The best part though is you can't pick out your own crayon, she tells you which one you'll be using. And, most of the time, she'll take it away and give you a new one before you even get the chance to color.





Ready to go

Brighton are you ready to go run errands? "I ready!"
