Minutes after birth..
We were so surprised when you came to us with strawberry blond hair and the sweetest, quietest cry in the world! A few scary weeks of jaundice and a bili-blanket and many, many heal pricks, followed by the scare that you might have Spina Bifida, you really kept us on our toes! After a few weeks you spent the first year of your life pretty laid back and content, 
I remember your stubbornness started to show a little when it came to sleeping. After sleeping through the night for a number of months, you decided to start waking up again until you were 10 months old... I can hardly remember those days now.
First Birthday
Easter 2007
I was shocked at 11 months when you couldn't walk yet but figured out how to climb on top of the kitchen table! That was only the beginning... you figured things out on your own so early, I guess you really wanted to keep up with Hayden! At 16 months you started getting so mad at me when I tried to buckle your car seat because you wanted to do it on your own, along with wanting to get dressed, change your own diaper, and many other things...
Now it is hard to believe you are two! Even though you are determined, headstrong, and stubborn, I wouldn't want you any other way (you remind me of myself at times). Daddy and I are so smitten with your sweet kisses and hugs and the way you say I love you, we are amazed at the new things you do everyday! At two, you can already count to 10 and even higher, you can mostly say your ABC's, you know all your colors and animals, and you love to sing, especially "I am a Child of God." You are getting so good at coloring and I love watching you try to ride bikes with all of the big kids, pretty soon you really will be a big kid with the rest of them!Our big two-year old!
I love you my sweet Bryn, I can't wait to see you take on the roll of big sister in a few more weeks!

Oooh, those baby pictures were so hard to look at. She is so big now!!!! I can't believe you're going to have another one soon.
What a cute tribute to Brynley! I love the picture of her and Hayden in their church clothes. She'll be a great big sister!
Oh, she is just so cute!! Those pictures of her are darling! I bet it is so much fun to have a girl!
That is such a great post- Brynley will love reading it when she gets older. She is an adorable little girl- and I love all of her hair bows!
Those first few days and weeks were so tedious and scary! She sure has grown up into a big big adventurous girl! We love you so much Brynners!
Molly, Bryn is a freakin cute kid. It's hard to tell who she takes after. I have always thought Hayden was a minature little Andy. Hey, did I tell you me and girls are working on buying tickets to go to Cannon Beach over the 4th? We need to talk and plan to get together!!! On my side, it will be me, the girls, my youngest brother, and my parents, sooooo, I will probably have plenty of free time, but probably not a car...but we'll see. You guys could come out and stay at our place a couple of nights if you wanted to. There's room. Lex would probably love to have people her age to play with. It's old, but right on the ocean. We'll talk. I need to look for your phone number....
You are such a sweet mom. Your blog is going to be so fun for them to read when they get older! I can't believe that she is turning 2! I feel like just yesterday you were holding her and putting her to sleep at the movies and I wait a minute, I was doing the same thing with Logan! Time just goes too fast.
