First Week Back

Bryell went back to Lindsay's last Monday. Monday she was a bit unsure and did cry when we left. Tuesday she was back in routine and got super excited to see Lindsay and reached out to her and gave her a big smile.

We didn't do much last week. We took off on Friday to Ogden to do a quick Costco trip. With it being so beautiful, we decided we wanted to spend Saturday doing yard work. Saturday we got up early, got the yards raked, the sandbox weeded, the yards mowed, fertilized and watered. We had all of that done before 10- we were quite impressed! It got to be pretty windy so I was happy we were done doing yard work. We went to a 'semi-pro' football game. Wyoming Thunder played....I don't remember who, but we went to the game to support a lot of the Valley people. Cassie, Wyatt, and her parents were there so we got to hang out with them also.

Bryell is learning what a kleenex is used for. She will grab one out of the box, blow on it, and then put it back in the box! It is not uncommon for us to go grab a kleenex and it be absolutely soaked from her blowing spit (and occasionally snot) on it. Its pretty cute though. She has also discovered that she loves to try and out crawl us. She has had a thing for crawling into the bathroom and standing up on the toilet to play or the bathtub to check things out. When we see her start to go we will go to chase her and she will take off soooo quickly just laughing!

Bryell loves attention and loves to try and talk louder then you. She is yet to learn the rules of conversation. :) You can tell she is trying to form words and communicate with us and I think sometimes gets frustrated when we can't understand her. She now pretty consistently waves 'bye-bye' when we leave someone and will greet her daddy with a wave when he gets home from work.

Bryell is such a happy little girl. Her naps are starting to get shorter and shorter, but her night's sleep are amazing! Bryell goes to bed about 6:30 and sleeps straight through until 5:30am for a quick feeding then goes back to sleep until 7 when she is ready for her breakfast. Its been so strange for us to be sleeping straight through the nights! What I love is that we will peek in to see if she is still sleeping and she will be in there sitting up just playing on her own. The other night when she was sleeping, Jeff went into her room to set her heater up. About fifteen minutes later I was wondering where he was so went to peak in- Bryell was sitting up playing and Jeff was laying on the floor trying to hide from her seeing him. It was hilarious! But if she would have seen him, she would have been up for another few hours and it was our bedtime!
