They grow up so fast!

Everyone tells you (and continues to tell you, over and over and over again!) how fast kids grow up, and it's true! I can't believe Brinn is already 6 months old! It is unreal how quickly it goes by! I have never once said, "I wish you could walk, or talk, or even crawl" (Daddy has though!) because I just wish I could hold on to her little cute baby squishiness forever!! Of course I know she will grow up, and those stages are all fun and exciting, but oh how I love my little princess!

Brinn has mastered a lot in this past month - she sits unassisted, and practices really hard at trying to get crawling down! She is close, but not there yet. We have started her on solids, and she hates it all. Avocados - gag! Sweet potatoes - gag! Pears - gag! Oh well, she's doing just fine on mommy's milk, so we will keep slowly trying. It has been fun for me to make her food, if nothing else. We want to stay as organic and unprocessed as possible, and making baby food is actually really easy. Another big milestone is she is sleeping (very happily!) in her own room! Brett and I are very happy to have our room back, and baby seems to love her space. How could she not with how cute it is?!

For Mother's Day, my mom got us Mommy and Me swim classes at the Brentwood Aquatic Center and yesterday was our first class. Brinn has been in the pool a ton, and she is a natural in the water! She really seems to like it, and I am sure she will be on the swim team like Daddy. She also is starting a class at The Little Gym this Saturday, which will probably be cuteness overload with all the rest of the babies in it! I will have to do a special blog edition to post pictures!

My new obsession is cloth diapers - we started doing them a couple months ago to avoid the pointless (and gross!) waste, and I am hooked! Besides being super cute, I can't believe what a difference it has made in her skin. It makes Brett and I sad we took so long to switch her over, and the poor little thing was always red. That has cleared up now, and we couldn't be happier. I even started working with a Work At Home Mom who has exclusive sought after diapers so I could get them for free, and also hopefully pick up how to make them!

Wedding planning is... going. We have made some really fun decisions and have all the big stuff out of the way, but it is managing all the details that is difficult! I love it but it can definitely be all consuming. The most important decision has been made however, and that is the Honeymoon spot! We are going to Maui for two whole weeks! I can't wait! We will be celebrating Brett's birthday while we are there and I can barely wait to hop on that plane!

Now for the reason you all read this blog:


Oh guys, it's been a LOOOONG day!


Cousin love!


I want to CRAWL!





I know, ADORABLE! hahaha... hope you enjoyed her!
