So as I was posting my last blog just now and reading it out loud to Patrick, he says, um doesn't make you as sad as me! haha! So I am now posting to add, yes She is a DADDY'S girl and she has him wrapped around her little finger! He adores her, and I love him more for that!... Each day he comes home, he grabs her and kisses all over her, and just hugs her to death! Her facials are always funny, but I do love how much he loves her!
These new transitions have honestly been sad for a Daddy too.. he doesn't wanna see his little baby girl get big either!..

Transitions... Spring New Adventures..
Our Sweet Bralyn has out grown her Cradle! We have enjoyed seeing her grow and change, but I must say this Transition is super bittersweet for this mommy! So I watched for about 2 weeks now, her scoot and bump her head, or stick her little hands through the sides,and all along thinking, NO WAY not yet, she is too little!.. Well truth is, this mommy was in denial! So I began a week ago starting to put her in her Crib for Naps in the afternoons and mornings! She did great and sleep wonderfully. So Last night 5-31-11 we decided we would let her sleep upstairs in her Crib. She did GREAT! She slept from 8pm-4am and woke up at midnight for about 10 minutes to nurse and right back to sleep.. Well at 4am she got up, nursed a few minutes and this mommy missed her to bad so I brought to my bed to snuggle with mommy and daddy until his alarm went off at 6:05. I really do love that she is getting to big, but it is sad for me too!.. As of tonight, she has gone down at 8:30pm and it has been an hour and she is sleeping great! So we will see how tonight goes.
Like that transition wasn't enough, haha. We hit a few more firsts tonight! Little bit has been in 1-2 huggies diapers and I knew she was ready for 2's but I wasn't ready yet. Well tonight after a few she peed through we went to Walmart as a family (now that is some funny times haha). And we got size 2's.
Then as I prepared her bath, I remembered we have been saying for days now that we needed to take out the Infant net part and let her be in the big girl tub, since her little feet hung off and her head was at the top haha! Well we finally did tonight. I cried and cried as I washed her upstairs, I know she probably thought, Mom what is your problem haha?!!
Then as I got her ready for bed, I have been noticing her PJ's were all just a right fit and her toes looked like they were going to bust through. I looked tonight and they were all 3 month, so I got out a 3-6 month to just see if it made a difference. I honestly thought, well it will be WAY TO BIG for her.. um YEAH right.. it was great for length, yes a little big in waist and arms, but hey before I blink I know she will be out of this one too!!
I tell you these Transitions are fun to see her grow and the next Adventures we are going to see, but they are sad for this mommy! These 2 1/2 months have FLOWN by!.. But for now, I will snuggle when she let's me, kiss her a million times and enjoy these new steps she is taking!
That's all for now...Tomorrow is a new day with new fun things in store!

It's Been a While, a New Look
Thank you everyone for stopping by to read our blog and see how our lives have changed since our sweet Baby Bralyn has entered our lives!..
I have been keeping a blog now for a year 1/2 and loved updating and posting pictures etc. However, it was more of a journal to remind me when looking back what we had done etc. We now have a new addition to our family, and while living so far from our friends and families we decided to change our blog somewhat. We are now going to be posting funny stories, updates on Bralyn, everyday life for us and memories we want to share with everyone. We do have Facebook, but have decided we will keep doing pictures and some status updates, but the stories etc will be here on our blog!.
Thank you for following us! Happy Reading, we do live a simple life, but goodness it can be funny at times!!

2 Months
Bralyn turned 2 Months Old on May 20, 2011.. It is def. going WAY too fast!.. She was 11.3 pounds and 23 1/4 inches long! She was 60% for weight, 75% for length and 80% for her head!..
She had Shots this visit :( .. IT broke my heart.. She had one by mouth and 3 shots.. it was so sad to see her cry, but I know it is to protect her, so I know it is worth it.
We are almost out of 1 diapers, we are using 1-2 diapers and about to enter the 2's I believe sooner then I think!.. WE are def in all 3 month clothes and some of the PJ's are getting to short for her and her toes.
My baby is growing too fast!..
Here are some pictures from our 2 month photo session with mommy!

NewBorn Pictures by Brett Seay Photography
We were so blessed to have our pictures taken by Brett. Brett and I went to NGU together and were RA'S. She now lives in NC, and came when Bralyn was 2 weeks old to take her pictures! We got them the first of May, and were WONDERFUL!...
Here are a few of our favorites!!

May Recap
May was such a BIG Month for so many things: We had Mother's Day, Baby Dedication, Family visits, Our First Trip, A Sad Loss, and Memorial Day!
So where to begin??!! No idea!.. So I will go in order if I can remember!..
Mother's Day: Was such a special day for us, My Sweet angel is such a blessing to me, and I love every moment with her. This day was special too because it was just us 3, and Daddy did a great job of making Mommy feel so special!.. We went to church, and then all went out to Brunch as a Family! It was Bralyn's First time out to eat with just mommy and daddy, and she Slept the whole time!! :)
Here is a picture from Mother's Day!
Next was a Sweet Day! It was Baby Dedication for our Precious Bralyn!.. It was a wonderful day! My Mom and Brother came into town and got to meet her, We also had some wonderful friends that came to support us as well!.. May 15, 2011. Here are some pictures of that sweet day!
We Had our first nights alone without daddy and just Bralyn and I.. May 20-22nd! It was a sweet time with Mommy and Daughter and we did just fine, but we sure did miss him greatly!
May 23rd, was a sad day in our family. Patrick's Granny went home to be with the LORD. It was a sad day, but we also rejoice in the woman of God she was, the incredible life she lived, and the fact she is no longer in pain!. (our only regret is that she never knew or got to meet Bralyn.) We traveled on Tuesday May 24th to the Viewing in Loris, Sc. It was Bralyn's first road trip, and she did very well!
We got home, and ended May with a Wonderful Memorial Day weekend with our wonderful friends, Tim and Kris Singleton!.. (I am realizing while posting we never took one picture with them that weekend :( . )
But we got some cute ones of our little angel swimming in her pool for the weekend fun!
Here are a few pictures of that!
Our sweet baby girl also turned 2 months old in May!.. I will post update :)

1 Month Update!
Bralyn Nicole turned 1 month old on April 20, 2011. She was 9 pounds 3 oz and 21 1/2 inches long! She is getting to be such a BIG GIRL!.. We are all done with Newborn Clothes and we have entered the 0-3 month and a few 3 month clothes (from Carters). I cannot believe it.
It was very hard for mommy to pack up the newborn clothes and diapers! She is officially in all 1 diapers as well!.. I cannot believe it!! :)
Here are some pictures from our 1 month photo session with mommy!!

April Recap
April was a CRAZY month, and so busy!.. Our Sweet Angel turned 1 Month Old!! I cannot believe has fast it has all gone,and how April seems so long ago now!
Bralyn was admitted to the Hospital on April 19th, (one day before she turned a month). She had a viral infection and was running a fever. IT was the WORST thing for a parent to see their little one hurting and going through all those SHOTS and NEEDLES.. it was TERRIBLE!... She had to stay over night and I stayed with her to feed her and watch over her. I was so thankful that all the tests came back that she didn't have anything bacterial and everything was just viral and the antibiotics helped her so much! We also found out that visit that she indeed had Acid Reflux and she now is on Zantac and doing SO MUCH better! We came home on her 1 month birthday, and Mimi (patrick's mom stayed a day or so with us to help out).
My sister had come to visit on the 18th and her and Jadyn got to love and playing with Bralyn. However I hated she was sick and that the visit was ruined and cut short due to a hospital stay :( ..
But I know they will get plenty of time to catch up and play together!..
My Dad was also preaching in the area, and came by to see us as well for 2 days!
Easter then was the end of the month, and it was such a sweet day!.. We had a wonderful time at church and then she got to get all her goodies for Easter!.. She is such a big girl, and our sweet little Angel!
Here are a few pictures of the month of April.
