Bryce & Mary

Sunday our Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Jerry had a family picnic! Mary (our 2nd cousin) was there with her mommy and daddy from Florida. She is about two months older than Bryce. They were both so cute and I just had to get a couple pics of them!

Bryce Update!

Some cute pics of Bryce! She will be 11 months old on July 15th! I can't believe how time flies!! She is also walking (running) like crazy now! She walks so fast! I can barely keep up with her!
This one is so cute because Sommer pinched Bryce's cheeks in like one second, and somehow I was lucky enough to catch it with my new cam! I just love her face!
All smiles!!
She is getting so big! For her first birthday they are having a "cupcake" themed birthday! Which of course I am sooo excited about because I love cupcakes and I love Bryce!

Bryce Update!

Brycee is getting so big!! She will be 10 months on June 15th!! It has just been amazing watching her grow and seeing all the new things she learns and all the cute things she does! This above pic was when she found a piece of grass on the driveway. She thought it was the coolest thing ever!
She has been standing up and sitting down all by herself for a while!! She is also a crazy fast crab crawler now too! It will be any day that she starts walking on her own! She holds your hand and walks (almost runs) with you!
She has 8 teeth now!! And is finally taking a bottle! It really is such a blessing to have her and all of my other family and friends in my life.

The Many Sounds, Faces, & Gestures of Bryce!

My beautiful niece, Bryce, seems to entertain us in every way. She does not even have to be doing anything, and we all just stare at her. She is so animated most of the time though!

I am sure I will have more videos of her doing cute stuff, but here are some of her recent sounds, faces, and gestures:

The nose scrunch and pursed lips:



The flying baby & come here:



The newest sound . . . baby monkey:



Oh Bryce Lynn, we love you so!!

But Brycey! I Thought You Loved Me!

We got to babysit Bryce the other night! She is just too cute!


I bounced her to sleep and she slept for ehh . . . 15 mins . . . and then "The Office" that we started . . stopped.
And then she decided to flick me off . . . .times two!!

And puke in my hair when I was burping her . . . ick!!

I thought you loved me Bryce!!! It's ok . . . I still love YOU!

Bryce is soooo Cute!

Just got a pic message from my sister-in-law! Ugh. . . it's been waaay too long since I've seen them and my cute niece, Bryce. Can't wait until we are home and I can hold her!

Baby Bryce Update!

Thought I would give you an update on my almost 5 week old niece, Bryce! When we went home this past weekend, I got to see her and babysit her!!! It was the first time (or so we were told) that she was away from her parents. Sommer and Bry went out on Friday night to celebrate their anniversary, and Shane, Grandma & Grandpa Hester, and me got to watch Bryce Lynn!

Bryce getting burped by mommy before they left.

Shortly after they left, we received a call from the anxious mommy to make sure everything was going well. We thought it was so cute, and wanted to let them know that Bryce was being a good girl, so we later sent this pic message to them:

Bryce didn't really like when you sat down, so you had to walk around and bounce her. She looooves to be bounced! And this picture was her looking at me . . being so curious . . when I was talking to her and singing the ABC's.

I didn't even realize it, but since she has been born, we were home 3 out of the total 4 weekends! Crazy! And so lucky to be able to see her and spend time with her! Although, I wish it could be every day . . or at least every other day or at least every weekend . . . I know Bry & Sommer would get sick of me. :-P

Here is Bryce just looking at me when I was talking to her. She was following me around with her eyes and was so interested in what I was saying! At least that makes one person!! Ha!

Mommy and Daddy are back from their first night away from their little girl! They missed her so much, but we enjoying babysitting her so much!

And a couple days ago, we were sent this beautiful pic message that said "i miss my aunts and uncles"! We miss you Bryce!! You have no idea!!

Surprise Weekend!

Well this is going to be a quick post, but I promise to get some more pics up and such soon!

Shane and I decided to surprise our family this weekend and drive home to Erie! It was absolutely wonderful (minus the 13 hours of driving)!

We just weren't there long enough though. We didn't get to see everyone we wanted, and that really bums us out. :-( Hopefully soon we will live there and not have to worry about that!

For now, this is all you are getting, because I am pooped and need to get to bed.

My beautiful sister-in-law, Sommer, and my beautiful niece, Bryce (2 weeks, 2 days old)!!

My Crazy Kitties . . . & My Beautiful Niece!

Ok . . . so our cats are crazy. . . they love to lay on the air conditioning vents . . when the cold air is blowing! And they love jumping in the fridge as soon as we open it so they can lay down in it . . . the pic below was from this very morning! . . . I thought cats liked warm temperatures?!

p.s. - we need to go grocery shopping

Also, look what else I saw my cute kitty, Nina, do this morning . . and every other morning this week . . . as I was leaving for work . . .

And my lovely sister-in-law sent me this beautiful picture of my niece, Bryce, today via phone message! I can't be there to hold her and see her grow . . . and it just kills me, so I just LOOOOVEE when I get these picture messages from Bry & Sommer! I seriously showed everyone at work, and kept opening it back up during the day to look again! She is just so gosh darn cute!
