.joy.

10 months can quite possibly be the perfect baby age! Brynn is such a joy right now. Its so fun to see her personality develop. She's quite the little spunk. She crawls around everywhere! She cruises along the furniture, walks behind her walker and I've had her stand for a few seconds. She may be my earliest walker? We'll have to wait and see. She loves bath time and we let her crawl around naked afterwards, what a hoot! I can't get her to eat baby jar food much anymore, she'd rather eat what we are. She claps her hands and is trying to wave bye-bye. She loves animals...especially kitty cats. I'm anxious for the weather to get better and take her outside more. And just this week she's weaned herself. Its bittersweet. I'm excited for her to be so independent, but I'm sad and will miss our "time" together. 10 months nursing her is a great accomplishment...it was a rough go for us that first little while. So I feel proud we stuck it out so long.

Josh has been out of town this week, again. Its the third week in a row now and I hate getting used to this new normal. He should be home at a decent hour tonight and we are so excited to have him back!

I miss him most at nights. I don't like being home alone and our bed is freezing without him! Maybe I should invest in this alternative? :)

Our weekend is pretty much planned. Besides listening to conference we are planting fruit trees!!! Here's our lot. Our ward made an order and we were able to get these pretty big trees for our yard. We ordered 36! Some are for my BIL and SIL...but most of them are for us. Give us a few years and well have lots to share:

apples
apricots
peaches

pears
nectarines
and plums!
Yum!

Oh my word, you are too funny, you made my day, the pillow picture and comment, I've never seen anything like that, so funny!!
I am glad Josh will be home, is this his last trip, will he be home next week?

Brynn is so cute, I love that age. I keep saying every age is the best.

OOh your so lucky with all the fruit trees your going to have! yum!

I got your message about the humidifier, I will have to try a cold mist one, maybe that is what our problem is, we've tried the hot ones.

she has got to be one of the cutest little girls ever. I can't believe she is cruising along furniture. Wow! It makes me sad to see how fast she has grown up.

I'm sad for you about no more nursing. I couldn't nurse my boys but Tayah is doing indredibly well. I love the time we have together too. There is nothing better!!:)

Good luck on the fruit trees. I hear they are hard to keep alive. Maybe you'll be better at it than my family is. lol

I am so jealous about all of your trees! Our yard is so incredibly small, it can barely fit our swing set. I love this time of year to get out and plant things. If only the snow would ever melt!

Oh Brit, I love the pillow man, so awesome!! I might just have to invest in one simply for the one to two weeks a year Ryan is gone, or maybe I could just rent yours!! LOL :) Cute little Brynn, I cannot believe how big she is, and so BRIGHT eyed, I love it!!

Layla said...

Oh Britney! Where do you find some of this stuff? The pillow man is a must- for sure!

I love the pictures you take of the kids. You sure do have a talent for it! I suppose it doesn't hurt to have gorgeous material to work with!!

She is so cute. That pillow is so funny. Good luck with the trees that will be so nice in a few years.

woah! you are brave to plant all those fruit bearing trees. My neighbor has a few in her yard and she has to WORK!
Ah, weaning is such a bittersweet thing, isn't it??? I am with you on that...
enjoy conference!

Brynn is darling!! Love the pillow man not a bad idea for night when you are alone!!

Daryl and Ashley said...

Yum, Yum! I love nectarines! Maybe I should get me a tree. Brynn is so darn cute. I don't know how you do it with Josh gone. I hate when Daryl is gone and that is rare. I am spoiled I guess! I love the pillow man. Shouldn't they have him in a Pajama top? I don't know many men that sleep in their buisness shirts.
