Happy 4th of July!

We had a great time this past Fourth of July. Brett, Brenna, and I went to Abacoa's festival and met up with our playgroup pals before heading back home to our neighborhood block party. I had hoped Brenna would stay up late and watch the fireworks but by 7:30pm she was out. Luckily our monitor reached far enough for Brett and I to hang outside with the neighbors while she slept inside. We were literally SHOCKED that she slept through all the noise of the fireworks. She must have just been exhausted from the heat of the day because normally she'll wake up when there is a bad thunderstorm or something but nope, she slept through the hours and hours of fireworks...some of which were shot off 20 feet from her window.







We had a Fourth-themed playdate this week and Brenna must have been giving off some pheromones or something because everyone wanted to love on her all day. First it was Ella Kate who hugged her so tight, we pretty much had to pry her off of her.



Then it was little Aiden who leaned in for the smooch! I witnessed her first kiss. Here he is going for it!


And he didn't settle for just one! He wanted to kiss her all day long. She is clearly over it!!



And here is Brenna, Marina, and Audrey playing together.


At 10 months, Brenna has both top teeth through now and is making much better progress with crawling forward. She still isnt' the best at it yet, but she can get from one place to another no problem.
