Shopping Trip

So last weekend Jeffrey had his first overnight trip. We had planned to go to but the people we were riding with had something come up and Bryell hadn't been feeling the best so we decided a big change of routine and lots of driving in the car wasn't a good idea. Bryell and I decided instead to head to Rock Springs on Saturday and try to finish up Christmas shopping. I found that it was a lot harder to shop with Bryell on my own! We did have fun and it was good for me to finally do all of it on my own, but it definitely was different. Bryell did so great too! It was some good bonding time. Towards the end she started fussing but only because she was hungry and it was naptime.

Bryell continues to change everyday. For starters, she is getting SOO BIG!!! She is starting to scoot. She can get on her hands and knees but isn't quite at the crawling stage yet. She has learned how to get wherever she wants to get though by rolling and scooting. She does great at entertaining herself. Some days she would rather play on her own then with us! She loves to listen to books and bang on the pages as we read. She can feed herself now and loves to talk and hear her own voice! She is starting to put sounds together that sound like 'dada' and 'mama.' Its super fun to watch her grow!

Last night Bryell and I went to a Christmas party (Jeffrey had evening practice). Bryell did so good at letting everybody hold her! However, she had missed her evening nap so by the end of the party she was definitely ready for bed. It was the cutest thing and I was super excited though. For the first time EVER she reached out for me! She wanted to sleep and I think there were just too many people there but she saw me and reached out to me!! I of course took her more out of excitement then anything else!

We have another weekend alone coming up this weekend. No exciting trips planned on this one though.
