Fun times

Happy Six months Brynnli!!
(five days late...)

My top six favorite things about Brynnli so far are:

1. She likes to play and talk to herself in her crib when she wakes up from naps!!! This adds a good half hour or so a day to my getting things done!

2. She takes long naps! Okay, keep in mind we are comparing to Carson who took 20 minute ones, but Brynnli's are usually at least an hour an a half, usually two of those and one forty minute one later in the day.

3. She has such a happy easy going temperament most of the time. She'll just kick it in my arms early in the morning or smile at us. Carson can pummel her and she just smiles most of the time.

4. She doesn't scream in the car! Unless she's way over due for eating, she is a gem in the car, playing with toys, looking in her mirror or at Carson, hallelujah!

5. She is a quick eater! She is still nursing and eats every three hours still, but only for about five minutes total, which is so helpful since I have a crazy toddler running around!!

6. She is a girl, which means I get to play dressup with her everyday, doing hair, etc. I love it! I can't wait until we can go shopping!!

And here are a few other pics of our happenings around here:

Carson and Jada at their friend Haylie's birthday party, lounging in the pool.

Rick's sister Trisha and her family have been here this week, we've been having tons of fun with them! Yesterday we hit up the beach and had a blast! Carson just can't get enough of the water and sand!
(not that you can tell by any of these pictures)

Brynnli for some reason has decided that she wants to crawl, so her favorite thing to do is get on her hands and knees and rock forward, PLEASE wait a few months Brynnli, PLEASE!!!!This is Brynnli's sun tent home at the beach, which she scooted out of backwards when she woke up! Crazy girl!
And of course, Carson and Brynnli's cousin Kaitlyn, who is super cute and so much fun!!
In true Tolbert fashion, this is our amazing family picture from the beach, neither kid is looking at the camera:) Hey, we tried.
