5 Weeks Old

I feel like Brenna looks a lot like Kimbri did at this age, although Brenna's cheeks are quite a bit fuller! That's because Brenna is a great nurser and Kimbri didn't get the hang of it for quite a while. But Brenna sure likes her food! She is such a HAPPY baby! I seriously can't believe how content and happy. She is so calm and pleasant. And I swear she just keeps getting cuter and cuter ;) 

First time in a swimsuit! 

She's really working to get something out. Ha!

Date Night to Celebrate 5 Years

Rick and I got out on a date about one month after Brenna was born. We missed our anniversary since we had just had a baby one week before so we decided to get out and celebrate. We of course brought Brenna with us and she slept nearly the entire time. Since we don't eat out very often, we usually like to stick with what we know we love. If we are spending money, we want to make sure we like it! Anyway, we decided to branch out and try a new place called Serrano's. It was a pretty decent restaurant but I still love Si Señor more :) After dinner we went to the movie, "Once I was a Beehive". It was really good! I fed Brenna during the first part of the movie and she slept the rest of the time.  It was fun to get out of the house and spend some time with Rick. And the night ended with a beautiful sunset!

On our actual anniversary Rick got me flowers and I made him a Texas Sheet Cake. But like I said, since we just had a baby and Rick was back into rotations, we didn't have much time to really celebrate, so cake and flowers it was! And it was great :) And I'm pretty sure the kids loved helping celebrate the beginning of our family. Any chance to eat cake and they are all about it!

5 candles for 5 years :)

Sunday Photo Shoot

On September 6 I decided to do a photo shoot of Brenna while Rick and the other kids were at church. I have always wanted to get newborn photos taken but they are just SO expensive so I thought I'd just snap a few with my phone of Brenna all dolled up in a little dress and cute little bracelet that used to be Kimbri's and a little bow I made. Before Rick left with the kids I had to get a picture with all THREE of our kids. I still can't believe we have 3 kids. But here they are and I love them all so much!

And then I spent a little while taking some pictures of Brenna. She was awake for the first little bit and was getting really tired and then when she finally fell asleep I got some cute sleeping pictures as well. She is such a little angel!  

I love her little smile in her sleep.

Tummy Time

Brenna loves her "tummy time"! Both Kimbri and Garrett didn't like tummy time much. Kimbri hated it, in fact. But little miss Brenna LOVES it! And she is a strong little girl. Kimbri and Garrett often ask me if Brenna can have tummy time because they like to do tummy time with her. They love her so much and it's so cute to see them be such great siblings to her :)

Cord Fell Off & Bath Time

Brenna's cord finally fell of when she was 16 days old! It seemed like it took forever to fall off! We had done sponge baths up until that point but we were excited to finally get to do a real bath in our little baby bathtub. So here are some pictures of Brenna at about 16 days old and her first "real" bath. 

I think the kitchen light was a little bright...
