Birth Control??

Today while I'm trying to finish a million things on the computer, I look over at Brynlee who has somehow found my birth control. I started laughing so hard becuase ironically Brynlee is my birth control!! haha Anyways...just thought I would share my funny for the day!

Can you see her little snaggle vampire tooth coming in on top?? She looks so funny!! I love it!

Brynlee is 8 Months Old

I have been such a slacker in blogging...1. Because I am so busy the only time I have to think is when I should be sleeping at night and I lay awake thinking of all the stupid things I need to do. 2. Because we are still in the process of renting our condo out (which we have someone YEAH!!) and 3. Because we have no place to move to because we haven't found a house we LOVE!! Plenty of ones we like...but I'm not buying something I just like... lol Anyways...with all the craziness going on I have totally just realized that tomorrow Brynlee is 8 months old!! I can't believe it!! Seriously when people say time flies, they weren't kidding!!! She changes every single day!! I love it!! She is learning so much so fast and it really is amazing how much she is changing!! Some of my favorite things she does are:
*She laughs at just about anything, and give you a courtesy laugh all the time!
*Her smile is awesome, it takes up her whole face, and now she is looking like a vampire with her eye teeth coming in on top!
*She LOVES food, especially if she can feed herself. Bread, fruit, graduate puff things, you name it she'll eat it!!
*She pulls herself up on everything, and is starting to walk along the couch, crib, whatever she is holding on to.
*She loves watching basketball or ESPN with her dad. She seriously sits on the couch in a daze watching it with him.
*She loves to get into everything. The wipes, my purse, paper, anything she shouldn't get putting in her mouth is what she loves the most!
*She waves at people, it is so cute!! She waves hello and goodbye.
*She is becoming more vocal, when she is excited I can tell, when she is hungry and I'm not getting out the "goods" fast enough I can tell, lol when she is being a brat I can tell, all her little noises and sounds mean something. :)

It's so fun to see her grow...She is so fun! I love being her mom! She gives me a reality check on life everyday and no matter how stressed or sad or angry I get when I hear her laugh or see that big cheesey smile it totally makes my day! I was just telling Joe the other day that if we want our kids close in age we better start thinking about getting pregnant again soon...and soon as in later this year. As I heard myself say that, it freaked me out!! lol It seems like just yesterday I had a baby and I totally don't feel ready for another!! Everyone keeps giving me the "you want her to have a friend" speech, and the "it will take 9 months before you have another"....but I think we are going to have to hold off for awhile on that kind of advice!! I just want to enjoy Brynlee awhile longer!! :)

Here are some pictures of Brynlee closer to 7 months old. I haven't had time to post them. It was after her RSV so I didn't want to take her anywhere. My friend took some at home, they turned out so cute!!

This is Brynlee to a T!! Little sassy pants!!

Grandpa Packer Expression!!

Look What I Can Do Mom!

As I was in and out of Brynlee's room putting close away I was surprised to see little miss Brynlee doing this for the very first time!!! She was so proud of herself she just kept laughing and jumping up and down!!Looks like it's time to lower the mattress so I don't have a tumbling baby!! Even though she has fallen off the couch more than I want to admit!! Don't ya love her 2 little bottom teeth in this picture?? So funny!

Funniest Home Video....??

So watch the video and pay close attention to the first part and the first scream!! It is hilarious!!! Joe & Brynlee have a very special connection where he can scare her, toss her in the air and play "rough" with her and she LOVES it!! We have been re-playing the first part over and over laughing our guts out!! She is too funny!!! And can you tell she loves her jumperoo??? :)

Moving.....??

Well it is official!! We are going to try and buy our very first real house!!! I'm very excited about the whole situation other than leaving our ward! :( We have fallen madly in love with everyone here and really hate to move....but with the housing market the way it is we are going to try and take advantage of being able to AFFORD buying a house right now! Since we do own our condo we are going to rent it out...as soon as we can get renters in we are house hunting!!! YEAH!!! I'm so excited to have a backyard, garage, MORE STORAGE, and more room to breath!!! I feel like the walls of my little place with ALL the baby stuff are closing in on me everyday!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up becuase if we cannot find renters all of this is still just a dream...but I'm pretty sure we will be able to! It is officially going to be for rent this week and we will see what happens!! We are probably going to live with our in laws for a month or so until a house closes...we just don't want to make any offers until we have renters in a lease here first!! I'm so glad both our families are so supportive and willing to help in any way they can! The wheels are in motion though and after TONS of research of ALL our options, prayer, and fasting this is what we need to do right now! I really hope it all works according to plan and I REALLY hope to be in a bigger place SOON!!!! YEAH!!!! :)
