Mimi's Visit

I've been horrible lately about blogging. We get busy, I take pictures, but I slack on my blogging. Anyways, Mere came to visit over the 24th of July weekend. I don't know about mere, but we had tons of fun and LOVED having her here.

9 Months

I'm late on this post but Brea is 9 months old as of the 16th. I can not believe it!

Some things about Brea:

She can wave hi and bye really good.
She shakes her head no.
Loves to play with paper.
She is pulling herself up onto the coffee table and couches.
She crawls a little but then lays down on her belly when she can reach what she wants.
She fake coughs when she hears someone else cough,
She also fake laughs when other people laugh.

so behind

I'm so behind on posts. After Bear lake we went to California for a week. We had so much fun we didn't want to leave!

Here is pete in the scuba gear swimming around in the pool

Brea is a total water baby. She must get it from her dad, but she absolutely loves to be in the water.

Grace and Brea playing in the pool

Grandpa Baker brought some peaches for us to eat at pinecrest

Pete grilled the peaches on the bbq and we ate them with ice cream! MMmm..MMmm...good!

We had a fun vacation but it was too short. Can't wait to go back!

Bear Lake

Last weekend we went to Bear Lake for a family reunion. It was so much fun. We stayed in a really big house with 59 people. We would have had more people but the Beaman family wasn't able to come. We played at the beach, on the boat, went on bike rides, took a tour of the cave, went on walks, took pictures, visited, ate, ate, and ate!

Brea had so much fun playing in the mud with dad. She couldn't stop laughing and smiling.

We also bought her this float tube hoping that she would like it. She loved it! We put her in the water where her feet could touch the bottom and she walked around screaming and laughing.

Here's the two little munchkins in their life jackets just hangin out

In the mud again

A bunch of the cousins thought it would be fun to bury cousin preston in the mud.

Waiting for our turn to go into the cave

Getting a drink of water

Inside part of the cave

The cave was huge. It was really cool. Brea seemed to like it when she was awake. She fell asleep through part of the tour.

The fam after our cave tour. (Ha ha if your wondering Remi is ok she just fell asleep with her head like that)
We had lots of fun. We've never been to Bear Lake before so it was a new and fun experience. We would like to go back sometime.

Lake

Today we finally got to go to the lake. We meaning the girls, grandpa and grandma. Pete, Kurt, and Braiden didn't get to come. Maybe tomorrow.

It was a little bright outside so Brea tried out her shades.

Mom and her girl

Oh and as of the 16th Brea is now 8 months old!

Some things about Brea at 8 months:
She has two bottom teeth
She can now drink between 5-6 ounces of formula every 4 hours.
(yes I said formula, she is no longer breastfeeding)
She love, love, loves the bath
She can wave bye and dance when you tell her to (if she is in the mood)
She might crawl soon because she is starting to move her legs to the side and put her weight on both arms when she is in the sitting position.
She jabbers, laughs, and screams constantly
She gets mad if we eat in front of her and don't give her any
She likes to watch Dora the Explorer in the morning
I could go on about all the things this girl does. She is so much fun and I love watching her learn new things each day. I can't believe my girl is 8 months old already!

Piggy tails

Yep! With the hair Brea has I managed to get two little pigtails.

Not the best looking pigtails, but I gave it a try.

Aren't they cute!

We've been busy lately. Busy having fun.

Good Weather Days

Since the weather here is so random we can't really plan our days ahead of time. We had a "good weather day" and Pete has been dying to go fishing. We went and got the boat and headed to the lake. We caught 12 fish. It was fun and we are excited to go again.

Brea didn't know what to think of the fish but she seemed to enjoy the boat ride.

I had to add this picture in because I love it. We went to the grocery store last night and came home with some strawberries. We decided to let Brea try one and she absolutely loved it! She didn't take that thing away from her mouth for 10 minutes straight and when we tried to take it away from her she threw a fit.

7 Months

Brea is 7 months old! Holy Smokes!

Some things about Brea at 7 months:
She just cut her first tooth yesterday (her bottom right tooth and the left one will probably come shortly)
She loves this walker that we got for 5 bucks!
She has started taking a bottle once in a while (yeah for mom!)
Her favorite toys right now are balls
Her hair is getting longer and darker
She has such a cute personality!
Love, Love, Love miss B!

Mom's Day

My first Mother's Day was great! The day started out great with cinnamon rolls made by Pete!

After church we went over to my Granparent's house and had a BBQ.

These are just some pictures I had my sister take of our family. We haven't had any taken of us since Christmas.

Me and my sweet Brea girl

I had a great mother's day. I am so blessed to be Brea's mom and Pete's wife. There is no better job in the world than being a mom. I hope all you mother's out there had a great day too, you deserve it!
