I totally started this post over a week ago and am just now finishing and posting. Oops.
Weight: 15 lbs
Brynlee is growing some hair on that baby head. And it's completely blonde so from a distance she still looks bald. I like to pet her. She's so FLUFFY! She sits up on her own for a few seconds at a time. She's trying to get a tooth but it hasn't quite sprouted (update since I originally typed this...she now has both her bottom teeth! They poked through on Dec 8th) She loves baby food, especially sweet potatoes. She wouldn't ever take a bottle and she still wants to nurse about every 2 hours. Blah. Baby food has helped a bit with that dilemma. Girlfriend has been waking up a few times a night and I'm so ready to sleep train her but she sleeps in our bathroom (judge us) and I can't figure out how to make things work when she doesn't have a bedroom. (And Ammon works at 5 AM every morning...so...)
Bryn loves her big sis like you wouldn't believe. She loves watching Raelan play and her favorite thing ever is jumping/dancing with Raelan. She's very interested in toys but sometimes gets frustrated because she can't quite figure her hands out enough to do everything she wants to do with them. She loves playing in her jumperoo (so we finally got our money's worth, since Raelan hated it). She doesn't like being held by strangers much. She loves me most (bragging). And she's seriously such a sweetheart. Obvs.

We played in the first snow of the season. Raelan was so excited! Then I realized she just wanted to eat it. I get it. Until she ate black snow from the parking lot. Gosh...you can't take toddlers anywhere. ;)
This girl has never fallen asleep in a weird place. This was a treat to find. She stuffed all her blankies into the ottoman and fell asleep. So sweet.
She likes to stick out that tongue.
We finally got to see the giant bears at Costco. Pretty ridiculous....ly awesome.
We each get a new ornament every year. Raelan got to pick hers and she chose the lollipop...figures. But she decided she needed ALL of them so she loaded her shopping cart with every last one. PS Target is my best friend and I don't care if that's weird. They have miniature Target shopping carts so it's Raelan's best friend too.
Raelan loves to sing. (She may or may not be a bit tone-deaf...) She's started memorizing more songs and is always so proud when she can sing a new song. The other day we were in line at the grocery store and it was taking forever and Raelan just started singing her songs for everyone. If you don't ask her to perform, she might surprise you. ;)
Ammon got a super awesome, crazy exciting new job at The Lab in downtown Boise. This year has been hard, I'm not going to lie. And we've had to exercise a LOT of patience and faith while Ammon has had tons of job interviews and taken pretty crappy jobs hoping something would work out. Our prayers have been answered! He's loving this job and it is definitely a long-term career kind of job. We're stoked. (Do people say stoked anymore? I don't care.)
We are super excited for Christmas around here. This year Raelan is really feelin' it. My dad asked her what she wants for Christmas and she said, "A candy-cane." I'd say we're pretty much set.
And I just can't believe it but my baby is going to be 3 years old on Saturday!
