Bryn showing some of her dance moves!

#12 November 2010

Sabryn gets her bath in the evening before she goes to bed.  Her hair is about 8-9 inches on her head and after her baths I usually sit her in her highchair and fix/do it. This night I decided to just put some product in it and just re-wet and do her hair in the morning.  Bryn looks so much older in these pics.

Deke now works for Chili's restaurant. These pics were taken there.



This was Sabryn at her 15 month checkup. She received 3 shots and cried less than 10 seconds.

18.2 lbs (less than the 5th percentile)

30 inches tall (34th percentile)

17.5 inches was her head circumference.

Sabryn went shopping with Mommy and Grandma Mall over Thanksgiving break.

#11 The Toilet Paper Incident!

Sabryn loves to unroll toilet paper. If you leave the bathroom door open for even one minute - I swear she has a beacon that sends her a message to zoom in there.

Caught...red handed you lil bandit!

#10 October 2010

The month of October was filled with pumpkin patches and Halloween.  Bryn is still adventuresome and loves to climb into any kitchen cabinet she finds open. Often time she has thrown everything out of the cabinet so she can play inside.

We took Sabryn to her first pumpkin patch.  She loved the wooden statues of characters and sitting on the tractor.



Bryn loved looking at and touching all of the characters!



She loved sitting on the tractor...

...and did NOT want to get down!

She went back many times and tried to climb back up to the seat!

Bryn was the cutest ducky for Halloween.  Her Uncle Lance bought her the costume up in Chicago.  He did really good. Bryn was absolutely adoreable in it.

 

The booty (tail) was so stinkin' cute in the costume!

#9 Catching Up

I know I haven't been very good about blogging since I started my school year.  We just get so busy and I'd rather be spending time playing with Bryn than sitting at the computer. However, I need to jot down a few things before I forget. 

Sabryn got another top tooth (upper left and it's #6 for her) on August 23rd, 2010 (the first day I started school) and she got her upper right one on August 26th.  So she has a total of 7 teeth right now.

I am going to post a couple of videos of our little one. Hope everyone enjoys.  Sabryn is everywhere right now. She climbs furniture like a spider monkey and tears apart things like she is a paper shredder but she still is so precious to us.

The first video is showing how obsessed Sabryn is with cartoon Olivia.  Nothing can distract her....

The next video is Sabryn just being her silly self this morning.

#8 One Year Old Dr. Visit

Well today, Thursday August 26 at 3:45, Sabryn had her one year old checkup.  She weighed 17.9 pounds which puts her in the  9th percentile for weight.  She may be small but she is so mighty.  Her height was 29 inches (which means she grew 1.25 inches in the last 37 days) which lands her in the 39th percentile in height.
She got 3 shots today (Prevnar, MMR &  Chicken Px vaccine)and had her finger pricked.  She was so great and cried less than 10 seconds.  Our baby is awesome and so brave. 

I have started my 12th year teaching. I am teaching 7th grade in Mckinney, Texas. Sabryn is going to a different babysitter than she had last year. We are both looking forward to Saturday and Sunday when we can sleep in.  Sabryn is use to sleeping in til 9 or 10am during the summer and every morning when we wake her up at 7am she is so tired.

She still loves the cartoon, Olivia. It is about a pig named, Olivia and she has a big imagination. She has two little brothers. One named Ian whom she calls her "Little Bother" and a baby brother.  She also has a cat named Edwin and a dog named Perry. Sabryn loves it and will stare and dance at the tv.

#7Musical Birthday Card!

My mom, Shirley (Grandma Mall), sent Bryn a musical birthday card with the "Chicken Song". Sabryn loves to dance and as soon as she opened it she started to shake her little booty.  It was so cute but we are getting really tired of the song at this point.  We had to take the card away after about 30 minutes to give us a break.

Sabryn is totally walking now and has even begun to learn to run.  She is such a cute little walker.  Her 28 inch stature is so cute to watch.  She is small but so mighty. Most of the pictures we take are blurry of her walking  because she starts running towards the camera as soon as she sees it.

This is Bryn with her "crazy hair" right before bath time!

The cute outfit that her Aunt Lauren got her for her birthday!

This was Bryn eating some french fries at McDonalds.

When Lauren & I flew back from Cancun (where we went to attend brother Dustin's wedding), Lauren had a layover in Dallas for 2.5 hours. So, she left the airport and went to get something to eat with us (and so she could see Bryn for an hour or so).  Look closely at Sabryn's hair. She looked like a Viking Warrior with her Daddy doing her hair for five days.  Notice, Sabryn does not look happy in the pic! Would you with hair coming out of the sides of your head? Probably not...but at least Daddy tried!

#6 One Year Old Pictures, Opening Birthday Presents & Climbing the Stairs

Today Sabryn had her one year old birthday pictures taken. She got up at 8:00 this morning (which is really rare for her since she usually slepts til 9:30 or 10:00) and I was praying she'd take a morning nap before pictures at noon but...NOPE!  I was really worried about how she would do but she completed 89 pictures and was awesome! Here are several pics of the big birthday girl! ENJOY!

Sabryn hated sitting on this block. She wanted to jump off and run...so all the pics with the "block 1" are not very good! :(

I love this one because you can see her 3 botton teeth. What a pretty smile she has!

She did this with her tongue in about 30 pictures today.  Don't know why but it sure was cute!

She loved these flowers so much she was trying to eat them! (and there's that crazy tongue again!)

One of my favorites!

She is walking 90% of the time now...so she kept coming after the photographer.  Her outfit is a 6-9 mo. and you can see it still is a little big but I love those colors on her.

So, after our picture taking adventure she took a 3.5 hour nap and then she opened some gifts and had her birthday cupcake.

 

She is kissing her new hair clips! 

 New baby doll from Grandma Mall.

She loves the baby doll already! It was attached to her the rest of the evening.

New outfit from Auntie Lauren.  She is the most excited about the hair clips though!

She wanted to grab the candle so bad that Deke had to stand away from her.

 She was mad.

She loved the cupcake but didn't get too messy.  She kept stopping and looking at how messy her hands were getting and then licking them.

She's blowing us kisses because we are taking pictures!

She thought it was so funny.  She couldn't breathe very well

(look at the cake in her nose) and she would blow air through her nose and giggle.

She found this much easier too just eat directly off the tray

...she wasn't all about getting her hands too dirty.  TOO FUNNY!
