Baby Dress-ups

Well, despite the loss to the Colts today, Brynlee was interested in the game. Truthfully, she likes sports on TV, especially football and hockey because they are fast-paced. We put her in her Broncos best and enjoyed the day together. You may recognize this outfit from when Tevin wore it, though he wore it about 4 months earlier than Brynlee was able to fit into it!





Tevin got dressed in his high-heeled best. He just loves putting on our shoes because he thinks they make him taller. He also likes clicking around on the hardwood floors in my heels.

Peek-a-boo, where are you?

Brynlee had fun this weekend crawling around with a towel on her head. We thought at first she might not like it (since she hates having anything on her head) so we figured it would be short-lived fun. But she got upset when the towel was removed! So we put the towel back on and she'd charge ahead again, laughing with delight. This girl is full of surprises!

"I'm on fire!"

Tevin loves to play with cars. He rolls them all over the place, shoving them across the couch and onto the floor. When the cars land belly up, he believes they have crashed and are on fire. He was riding his little big wheel this weekend and crashed. We were busy taking pictures of Brynlee with the towel over her head and we heard Tevin exclaim, "I'm on fire, Daddy!!" We looked over and there he was, belly up!

11 Months

Our little princess is 11 months old! Brynlee poses for me as we play at Starbucks, something both kids have come to expect out of a normal weekday. The kids enjoy roaming the lobby and sharing the "Starbucks Toys" (a bin of the manager's children's toys) with any other baby or toddler who's mom needed a break that day as well.

Brynlee has changed so much this past month, especially since she started crawling a few weeks ago. She is eating more, although still mostly from a jar but has started to include things like Mexican rice, waffle crusts (Tevin's rejects), and almost an entire serving of macaroni and cheese. She shovels that stuff right in!

Check out my new shoes!

Tevin is particularly proud of these Nikes I bought him this past weekend. He likes the "Swooshes" and thinks they make him super fast. Daddy wasn't sure about his shoes not being black (Darren mostly wears black shoes and so did Tevin!) .. he thought the white ones looked a little strange but I think they're growing on him.

Brynlee is Crawling!

Last Friday (Sept. 7) Brynlee took off on her hands and knees! Since then, she hasn't looked back. Now Tevin has to really hide those sacred toys he doesn't want his sister getting her hands on. Brynlee is getting faster and faster, so much so that we have to make sure to watch her nearly all the time or she will end up somewhere she's not supposed to be (like going headfirst down the basement stairs or getting stuck behind the toilet -- eew!). She has even pulled herself up to a standing position on the bottom step. She does this and turns her head around, smiling from ear to ear as if to say, "I did it!"

We've Joined BlogLand

I was sitting here trying to think up a name for our Blog and was drawing a blank. So I asked Darren. That's when he said "Dorksville". If you know us, you KNOW this name is fitting! So welcome to Dorksville!
