Brynnlee is doing awesome! On the 3rd we had her 6 month pictures taken. So far I have seen two of the pictures and they are adorable. I'm excited to see the rest, but I am more excited to learn to take pictures that well, and to edit them also. I'm trying, but just am not quite comfortable with my skills yet. My plan is to start learning more about the functions of my camera, and to purchase photo editing software. In fact, yesterday I decided on the name of my photography business...Ladybug Photography. It pays tribute to Brynnlee; who is my main subject :) I started a blog just for the business. I want to keep track of the beginning and how I am learning, plus it will give me a place to post some pictures and to keep track of ideas to use in the future. Until then I am hoping to get pictures done every couple of months until she turns 1, then family portraits once a year after that. With the tripod I can take some myself, but I know it will be much easier to get everyone's attention if a professional can take the reins! Until I keep plugging along and learn when I can find time. I am really hoping for a weekend class or something to help me!
Brynnlee is growing two more teeth, I thought for sure they would be in by now, but they are taking a little longer then her first two. At her doctors appointment on the 26th he mentioned that they would be in within a week. Well here we are about 10 days later and they are still trying to poke through her gums. I'm sure its painful, and poor Brynnlee hasn't quite been herself the past few days. Every now and then we give her tylenol to help ease the pain, but so far she has been doing awesome.
Crawling is coming fast, and I am not sure if we are ready for it! Right now she is rocking back and forth and will scoot backwards. If you leave her on the floor for 5 minutes she scoots and rolls and will be in a completely different place when you come back. I love to just watch her tumble and flip! She is doing much better with tummy time now that she is able to roll herself back. She will get up on her knees and rock so hard that she will tumble forward or sideways. Its so much fun to how much she has grown. Six months ago she just laid there, wanted to be held and fell asleep pretty easily. Now she refuses to sit still, pushes us away and doesn't nap! There are some times that she wants to be cuddled, but little bug is becoming independent. I think within a few weeks she will be crawling all over the place. She is still as happy as ever. She loves the morning, even when we have to get up early. Currently Jeff is working from 6 at night to 6 in the morning. In order to let him sleep I drop off Brynnlee to my mom's house most mornings. As soon as I pick her up she wakes right up smiling and ready for the day. I just love seeing her smile in the morning, it helps me prepare for the day! Today is one of the days that I dislike. I have to work all day, have a meeting tonight and Jeff works tonight so Brynnlee will be spending a lot of time at my parent's house today. I wish that I didn't have the meetings and could just stay home and enjoy family time. This weekend will be nice though. Jeff will sleep in tomorrow morning, but after that he is done until Monday night. Of course I have to work tomorrow, but I am looking forward to the weekend. I was hoping the weather would be nice and warm so that we could head to the west coast for a day, sadly it looks like it is going to be chilly. We will probably stay home, clean house and maybe organize and paint Brynnlee's room. I can't wait for warm weather so that we can get out of the house of weekend's off. I'm looking forward to doing day trips this summer. I am all out of vacation days until July, so the trip up north at Easter and Memorial Day are it for me. Jeff wants to take Brynnlee on a trip because he has extra time. I understand, but it breaks my heart that we can't do the trips all together. Hopefully I will be able to find another job that allows for more time off. I really miss working at my old job, it allowed for me to take anytime I want basically!
I'm looking forward to many things this year. Brynnlee's first birthday, traveling, warm weather, playing with the dogs, learning my camera and maybe I can sneak in some reading. I seem to have lost the time for the little things right now. Keeping a positive outlook and remembering what it coming will help me tremendously. Its a sad time in life, but I have my family to get me through. Things are already looking brighter and I am so ready to enjoy life!
