BROOKE, JAKE & BABY BAYLA

Bayla 9 months & Thanksgiving

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

So I had started this post like a week ago and somehow I lost all the text I typed (it was a lot) and I tried to hit Ctrl+Z (undo command) to see if that would bring it back. NOPE - NADA. So I gave up and now I am trying again but it will be the quick version.

The rundown of November:

Jake turned 32 on November 5th
Bayla turned 9 months on November 24th
We spent Thanksgiving with my family at my brother's house. Lots of YUMMY food!!!
Made my first craft in who knows how long - thanks to my sister Stephanie for helping Ü

Here are some pictures from the last month or so:

Bayla - 9 months - Thanksgiving Day!

Here is my craft I did - I made Bayla some baby wooden blocks for Christmas. I made some Christmas ones too and am making some for my VT peeps because they have new baby girls too!!

Bayla the Flower

Friday, October 30, 2009

Bayla came up to see me at work today. We were celebrating Halloween and had all the kids whose parents work here come in and trick or treat. She was such a cute FLOWER!!

Fall 2009

Thursday, October 29, 2009

Don't have much time to write, but I wanted to post some pictures and video. Bayla is now 8 months old and starting to crawl - Jake is in for a TREAT!! My grandpa Crump passed away on October 16th and we went to his funeral in Idaho on October 24th. It was so good to see all my relatives that I haven't seen in years. It is crazy to me how fast time goes. I know I say that all the time - but seriously - it's already almost NOVEMBER.

Like Daddy Like Daughter - love their same expression

Napping

Bayla loves her Daddy!!

These pictures are from up at my sister's - we went to a corn maze and Ashlynn's blessing up in Vernal that weekend. Good times with family.

Kelly - Jake's cousin put on a Witches Brew Party and all the girls in the family were invited - You had to wear at least a witches hat - it was so much fun. Here are some photos from that day.

My friend Jodee came down to SLC the beginning of October and here are some pictures of her daughter Brinlee and Bayla hanging out together. Too bad they don't live closer. Bayla was very intrigued with her. Come again soon!!

Bayla - 8 months old and pretty much crawling

Bayla 7 Months now

Sunday, September 27, 2009

I haven't posted for a month. Where does the time go? September seemed to fly by for me. Bayla is 7 months now and is cuter than ever. She has said a few things ... ma ma and da da ... mostly da da ... I am trying not to be too jealous. I am sitting here watching her bounce in her bouncer and she is seriously such a good baby and I just love her so much. Jake and I are truly blessed to have such a sweet and fun daughter. Any way here are some pictures of what we have been up to over the last month.

Bayla 6 Months

Monday, August 24, 2009

Bayla is six months old today! I can't believe half a year has gone by since she was born. We got pictures taken on Saturday. I know I am biased but she's seriously so CUTE!! I didn't buy the CD at Kiddie Kandids but here are the pictures we got taken that you can kind of see. I just love her so much!!

My Girl is Growing Up

Sunday, August 16, 2009

Bayla is turning into a little girl right before our eyes. I know she's still just a baby, but she's just getting so smart. In the last couple days she is able to sit and play with her toys all by herself. I am such a proud momma. She likes razzing and blowing bubbles - she cracks me and Jake up. I am so thankful that I am her mother. I just LOVE her so much and she brings so much joy to my life. Motherhood is wonderful. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me such a beautiful and fun GIRL!!! Here are some new pictures of her.

Here is the cute Onesie that Lindy made Bayla -

It says "When Two People Love Each Other Very Much"

Bayla Sleeping, Swimming, and 1st Food

Friday, August 14, 2009

So this is just kind of a random post of Bayla and some fun stuff she has been doing this summer. She is so funny when she sleeps. I love watching her sleep. They are just so peaceful and precious ... well except when she is thrashing around. Bayla always smiles when you go in to get her in the morning or if she catches you peeking through the door at her. But once you pick her up out of the crib you better have a bottle ready or she kind of freaks out. She's been sleeping about 9-10 hours a night - so we're HAPPY!

We went up to Logan a couple weekends ago and I put her in her bathing suit. So stinking CUTE! Grandma Michele filled up the little pool and we put her in her Bumbo in it. She had lots of FUN!

Our pediatrician said to wait until she was almost 6 month before starting her on any foods, but said we could try rice cereal a couple weeks before if we really wanted to. And of course - any 1st time MOM is going to wanna try. She liked it at first it seemed and then was making these disgusting faces - like what are you putting in my mouth. Hopfeully once we get to give her Fruits and Veggies she'll enjoy it more. Check out the video too!

Daddy and Bayla just hanging out after eating!

She sure LOVES her daddy Ü

Bayla 5 Months

Friday, August 07, 2009

Bayla turned 5 months on 7.24.09

She is rolling all over the place. We never know what position she'll be in next when she is sleeping. It's pretty fun to go peek in and see her rolling around in her sleep. She also likes to pull on the tie on her bumper pad and we found her asleep holding on to it one day. See the picture at the bottom. Bayla also go to go to her first Bee's game. I can't believe how fast time is going by and how much she changes day to day. Here are some photos of her in her 5th month.

My New Niece - Ashlynn Brooke

Tuesday, July 28, 2009

My sister Stephanie had her baby girl this morning. She weighed 7lbs 1oz and was 19.5 inches long. She is so cute! I can't wait to snuggle with that petite little baby.

Congrats Steph and Enoch!

She is beautiful!! Love you guys!

Don't really have a lot to blog about just wanted to post a couple cute pictures and a video of Bayla. Bayla received a package from Grandma Brown with a cute purple polka dot dress. Bayla insisted on wearing it this Sunday so I had to take a couple shots of her in it. Bayla also got a jumperoo thingy last week and has been enjoying it so I took a video of her in it. She is getting so big so fast. She grabs everything she can get her hands on. We just love her so much and are so happy to be her parents.

Hope everyone is having a great SUMMER!!

I love when she is just waking up ... look at that crazy hair :)

Here is the video of her in her new toy

OREGON 6.29.09 to 07.07.09

Wednesday, July 08, 2009

Bayla and I took a trip out to Oregon for a week to go to one of my best friend's wedding and visit family. It was Bayla's first time on a plane and she did pretty good. On the flight back she screamed for the 1st ten minutes ... everyone was glaring at me because it was 6am and she is LOUD since she has found her voice. She eventually fell asleep and it was peaceful the rest of the flight. Thank goodness!

My best friend Kylee got married on July 3rd in Grant Pass at the Summer House. It was a very beautiful wedding and Kylee was gorgeous ... but when isn't she? It was so fun to see all my girlfriends and their babies all week. I wish we all lived closer so we could hang out more often.

Bayla and I went over to Coquille to see my mom and Frank for the 4th and stayed a couple days there. It was so nice to be home with my mommy. My sister Brittany and her family came up also for the weekend. Bayla had a fun time with everyone. Brittany had a baby girl 13 days after I had Bayla. They named her Lauren Taylor. She is so stinking cute. They had her blessed at church on July 5th. She looked so cute!!

Anyways, here are a TON of pictures from my week in Oregon.

Bayla 4 Months

Saturday, June 27, 2009

I started posting this before I went on my trip to Oregon ... but didn't finish it. So it's kind of short. Anyways, Baby Bayla is 4 months now. I can't believe how fast the time goes by. She is just getting more fun each day. She has found her voice and is quite vocal.

Here are a few pictures of her now that she is 4 months. I will post my trip to Oregon soon!

JAKE'S 1ST FATHER'S DAY

Monday, June 22, 2009

We spent Father's Day up in Logan with Jake's Family. We had a nice dinner and Bayla got Jake some new grilling utensils so daddy can cook us up some steaks! YUM YUM!

Here are some pictures from Sunday:

Bayla has also found her feet earlier this week. She loves grabbing on to her cute little piggies. Here is a picture and some footage of her in action:

Bayla 3 Months and Memorial Day

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Bayla is 3 months now and is such a cutie pie! We went to my dad's house for Memorial Weekend and just relaxed and ate a lot of good food. My sister Kathryn from BYU-Idaho came down also and hung out with us. Thanks family for the fun weekend!! I don't have a lot of time to post but wanted to put some pictures of Bayla at 3 months and some of Memorial Day when we stopped by the cemetary to remember our loved ones.
