Such a Gigglemeister

OK, So Mom(Christina) figured out this weird word, which isn't even a word, and Brynley could not contain herself. Every time that jibber jabber came from Mom's mouth, she cracked up (Make sure to view that video below).  Seems as though normal verbiage just doesn't seem to entertain her as much as the odd noises coming from Mom and I. She has been such a joy to be around.  Every time I see that face, I can't help but just giggle myself. 

So she had her 4 month shots on Friday- 8/30 and the first shot was a stinger.  She did not like it at all.  The next 2 were very quick and really didn't have alot of time to think about the pain those 2 caused because she was still crying from the first one.  After some TLC from Dad (No Mom this time, just me), she began to settle down.  After 5 minutes she was as good as new. I felt proud because here I have a 4 month old that was just given 3 shots and not a tear present.  Behind me I see a 5 year old crying uncontrollably.  That was a proud moment for me.  Mrs. Brynley represented the Mitchell family quite well. 

At her appointment, the nurse took her weight, height, and head circumference.  She came in at 15.4lbs and 25in long.  I cannot remember her head circumference, but I know it was around the 40th percentile.  She is healthy as can be and on her way to becoming the next Jenny Finch.  :)              

We set up her 6 month appt. in October and by then we hope she is crawling. Mom and I will continue to work on helping her obtain this goal, but eventually she has to do it on her own right?  Until next time, PEACE!

Where have I been?

Over the past months you were probably wondering where is Sam and his beautiful family?  Have no fear, the Mitchell's are here.  Well as many of you proud parents know, it is work to have a kid but its well worth it.  Every time I look at Brynley's chubby cheeks and her enormous smile, I can't help but laugh and smile too. 

I am writing a quick blog because I was inspired today with some great news.  I won't go into details but let's just say they are expecting! I will keep the names to myself only to hide the identity.  Wouldn't want to be the spoiler and ruin it for some.  So I have opted to remain silent till word has spread. So reading her blog reminded me that I have been such a slacker and need keep everyone in the know. Check out the photo's and videos of our wonderful daughter and her hilarious antics. 

With school beginning soon, Christina has been working hard day in and day out to get her T-shack ( aka portable bldg) up to speed with posters, schedules, back pack rack, and any other tasks I failed to mention. With her focus ands drive to make sure everything is ready for the first day of school, I have taken more time to be with Little Miss Princess. We laugh and talk to one another.  She is learning to use her left arm for throwing/hitting and I am teaching her the game of baseball.  Don't worry, I am introducing her to many other sports, hunting, and lawn care.  Sometimes we go outside and water the lawn or pick some weeds together. 

So in my next blog, I will try to include up to date pics and maybe a video.  A break down of how life in the Mitchell household is run and what's in store for future events and activities. Until then, PEACE!
