Rock a Bye Baby

Bryn's Smart Trike

Breck's Big Wheel

Bryn wants to feed herself, messy or not



















I don't know if it's because she is starting part time at day care tomorrow or that summer is ending too soon or how grown up she's seem lately, but I rocked Bryn a little longer tonight before putting her to bed. I was trying to memorize the feel of her cuddling on my shoulder, her soft breaths, the weight of her across my chest - such a sweet feeling. Her first year sure did fly by. Every day, she's coming into her own personality a little more.

Today I got her a Smart Trike and Breck a big wheel. She liked feeling like she was part of the action chasing her brother on her bike. She's such a character and so smart. She knows where the frozen yogurt tubes are in the door of the freezer and practically sprints whenever she hears the freezer door open. I think she'd just keeping eating those all day if I let her. She seems like she's going to be an adventurous eater. She wants to try everything anyone else is eating. Her favorites right now, besides frozen yogurt tubes, are watermelon, cheese, and CostCo macaroni and cheese. And she likes all carbohydrates - bread, crackers, pretzels, pizza, quesadilla.

I'm enjoying time with both kids this summer though Breck keeps me busy with all the activities he likes to do - sports camp, tennis lessons, swimming, t-ball, etc. And of course lots of time riding his various vehicles - bike, scooter and now big wheel. He goes goes goes all day and then crashes hard at night. I wish I could bottle some of his energy!
