Odds and Ends

Trying my best to get a photo of her smiling. I was munching on her feet while aiming my phone at her. And the result is one of my favorite photos of her so far. Chatty gal telling me about her day.

How does she manage to get even cuter? I have no idea, but she does.


Bronte's art projects from the month of July! Have I mentioned we LOVE her daycare?
Handprints on a wind catcher: Left hand in blue, right hand in red.

Bronte's 4 month old baby foot in clay. That's a keeper!

A Gift from Aunt Laura = A Quick Photo Op

Aunt Laura saw this bonnet with dinosaur spikes on Etsy and decided that her little Brontesaurus niece simply must have it.

Sleepy gal is a good sport for the promised photo shoot...

Fuzzy photo quality but she looks so introspective in this one.

Perhaps this is her thinking cap?

Sleepy little Brontel Bug! After the photo shoot, she promptly ate 3 oz of formula and passed out. It's hard work being this adorable all the time.

Spikes on the back! So cute! Thanks, Aunt Laura!

Poppa and Granny Come for a Visit

In her Bumbo seat that Poppa and Granny bought for her.

She gets to sit up like a big girl now! Bronte had a good time playing hostess and entertaining everyone all weekend.

Falling asleep at lunch after going to the bookstore for the first time.

Poppa bought her a "George and Martha" book. Relaxing with Granny.

Poppa (Smurf) loves his Sugar Plum!

15 Weeks

What a difference 104 days can make....

Bronte, 1 day old

Bronte, 105 days old

I think she's grown into her nose quite nicely :)

Before Y'all Start to Riot...

I promised I would take pics yesterday if Bronte was in the mood, but she was quite the little grumplebug when we got home. Her daycare teacher, Miss Renee, told me that all the babies were a little off yesterday from the long weekend, and then told me that Bronte was the best out of all of them. I think she just saved up all her grumpies to share with me!

However, to keep the masses at bay, I just remembered that I took two this weekend of her propped up on pillows. She can't sit up on her own yet, but she's definitely got the hang of lounging on the couch for a few minutes.

Dan off camera talking to her. The girl loves her daddy.

A Conversation with Daddy

Might As Well Jump!

After we found out that Bronte has been enjoying one of the standup baby gyms at her daycare, we decided it might be time to introduce her to her rainforest jumperoo. Her legs aren't quite long enough to reach the floor, so she stands on a pillow. And her arms aren't quite long enough to reach the toys, but she she still has lots of fun bouncing around and setting off the lights and music.

Sleepy Baby

Bronte loves taking naps with her stuffed animal/blanket that we've named Daisy. And Daisy already has the drool encrusted ears of a well loved companion.

Pool Time!

A couple of weeks ago we decided break out Kona's baby pool and see if Bronte might like it. Dan set up the pool, filled it with water and let it sit in the sun for a day to get warm. At first she wasn't too sure.
She eventually started to relax and enjoy the water.

Kona decided he wanted to get in on the fun and check on his baby.By the end, Bronte was a happy, little fish kicking up a storm in the water.
