Britann update!!

Britann is getting around like crazy these days!! She is now 10 months and she is crawling everywhere, not always happy about it but still doing it. She is following me everywhere I go in the house. She can track me down faster than I can make it into the next room. She is trying to talk more and more, she is really good at Daddy, but mommy is a little tougher for her. She has said it but still not something that is a mainstay quite like daddy (why is it that it always seems to work that way!) She is starting to give her big sis a run for her money because all of a sudden Addie Blaire realizes that her room is fair game and Brit has a tendency to be a little more rough with her things than she was ready for. Brit is very strong, she can really surprise you for her small size especially. She is in the 25% percentile for height and weight. She was last weighed at 9 months so I am sure she has grown a little since then. She is loving her groceries. She is just starting to try some mashed potatoes, peas, corn and such now and she really likes anything that she can feed herself. She has tried most of the different baby foods and seems to like all of those as well. She is feeding herself with her left hand!!! She is also holding her bottle with one hand these days with her left hand as well!! Just saying she make take after her mom on that one. She is still taking about 6 ounces of milk a day (luckily she still has plenty of mommy milk) which has been a blessing. She is still sleeping through the night, for the most part. The only problem we seem to be having is that she does not like to sleep in. Mommy and daddy are not morning people but we are having to be since her alarm is set to about 5:45 EVERY morning! She is just so happy and smiling, it is hard to stay mad for long. She is really starting to laugh and respond to things that we are doing which is always a lot of fun and she really loves to give a wave to everyone which is one of my favorite baby tricks of all time. I can't believe that I am already writing this and having to start thinking about the all important 1st birthday, this year has really flown by!!



Thanks Mrs. Jennifer for this precious outfit!




These are some pictures I took of Brit at 9 months followed by one of Addie Blaire that the photographer took at 9 months also. I wanted a picture similiar to that one of hers and it is kinda neat to see a comparison photo at the same ages since everyone is still trying to decide which one each girl looks like. I need to attach some baby photos of mitch and i for a comparison. I am having these photos worked on by a guy that can tint them to see if I can get it tinted like the one of Addie Blaire to hang next to hers.


I am trying to attach a video of her crawling if I can get it on here. But for now I will just attach this one of my little fish! Addie Blaire has just learned how to swim and is doing such a good job. I have been trying to get in the pool with her a couple of times a week and each time she is doing things she wasn't before, like learning how to take breaths finally!! So excited and proud for her.
