Children's Garden

We had the amazing opportunity to go the the MSU 4-H Children's Garden with a wonderful host...Jessica Wright!  Brenna loves being outside, and it was a perfect day for hanging out in the garden.  Who knew there were so many cool plants?  I think Brenna will really enjoy it when we come back in the next few years :)
Everything was so kid friendly, she could touch all the plants and go right up to the water. 

Thanks Jess, for such a beautiful day!

the big 0.5!

I am shocked at how fast the past 6 months have flown by!!  Brenna is still changing everyday and I am constantly trying to find new things to entertain her with.  She's able to sit up on her own now and does very well at it.  I think we still have a few weeks before she starts to crawl although if she wants something bad enough she will find a way to get it.  She is very serious in her explorations and will study things very closely and touch them very carefully. 
She's looking more and more like a big baby instead of an infant!  She's got some dark hair that's really started to grow in the past week. 


Brenna still has a great appetite and usually after the initial rejection of some new foods, she will eat anything.  Especially if it has a splash of apple juice :)  One of my coworkers reminded me of how much I loved apple sauce when I was pregnant....and that is Brenna's favorite food!  It always brings a smile and a "mmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

Here is her half birthday cake for her half birthday!


Bella had to get in on the birthday celebrations.....Can't believe I've had her for 8 years!!
