Baby Food!

Brea continues to grow and we can't help but wonder what happened to our "little" baby! She's been doing great and is always full of smiles except when we pull out the camera!

I attempted to feed her rice cereal as soon as she hit 4 months but she wasn't really interested and we didn't push it. I kept trying off and on and about 3 weeks ago finally decided that she liked it. I've also started her on baby food - so far she loves peas and squash but doesn't seem to care for green beans (Uncle Todd would be proud).

Fall Vacation - 3

Fall Vacation - 2

Fall Vacation - 1

We had a great time on vacation with my family in MN. Brea had fun seeing grandma and grandpa Diede again and also meeting her aunts, uncles and cousin Mason for the first time!

4 Months

I'm finally getting around to updating this. It seems like there isn't enough time in the day to get everything done anymore:) I'll have to catch up on the past month's activities. It doesn't seem possible but Brea was 4 months old on Sept 7. She had to go back to the doctor for a well visit and her 4 month shots. She weighed 14 lbs even and was 25 inches long. She is still a little underweight for her age (50th percentile) but is tall for her age (80th percentile). She did well with the shots and made it through without a fever once again.

Meeting Great Grandma's

Travis, Brea and I flew to MN last Friday for the annual Diede family get together at the lake. Brea did great considering the 2 1/2 hour flight turned into a 4 hour flight with us sitting on the runway in Phoenix with mechanical problems. It was a busy first weekend as we stopped in Sleepy Eye Friday night so Brea could meet great grandma Agnes and then spent the night with my parents in Springfield. On Saturday morning after grandma and grandpa took off for the lake we drove to Sioux Falls so Brea could meet her great grandma Thompson. We spent a relaxing day with Brea getting acquainted with many aunts, uncles and cousin Hailey who is 10 months old. Sunday morning we left for the 5 hour drive to Leech Lake for some much needed relaxation!

Brea's First Swim

Sunday night we decided to take Brea in the pool for the first time. She loves bath time so we figured she would like the pool. At first she wasn't sure what to think but ended up enjoying it. After we got out she had a bath and a bottle and crashed in her crib.
