* ADTS Staff Training
* Great Wolf Lodge
* Birth of baby Roman Tafalla
Miss Brynley (month 27-29)
Brynley continues to amaze us everyday with her progress, especially with her speech. With that great speech is also LOTS of sassiness. She can also be very stubborn like her mommy and daddy. We had started potty training in January, and by March she was potty trained! I was very proud of how quickly she caught on. She occasionally still has an accident during nap time, and we always wear a pull up at night. She says her ABCs so much better, and loves to sing songs! She loves to go outside and walk to the park.

Olivia- (7 months)
Olivia can now sit up on her own without assistance! She continues to army crawl everywhere. She can also sit up in the bath tub fairly well. Since she had RSV last month, she grew to love to sleep with mommy & daddy. So, after 4-5 hours in her crib she usually ends up in bed with us. She is still eating fruit, veggies, and I started a dinner baby jar food each evening.

Brynley got lots of eggs!
The Easter Bunny came to visit our girls!
Easter Sunday, we enjoyed lunch at Grammy & Big Papa's house. They also had a Easter egg hunt for Brynley. The girls got to play with baby Brennan, too.
Olivia (8 months- April)
This was a big month......Olivia learned how to crawl this month! She am pretty fast too and loves to get into things. She can also push herself to sit up from any position, as well as pull herself up to her knees. Separation anxiety is in full swing and she loves being with mommy. This months, Olivia got a little stomach bug from daycare so she stayed with mama and papa one day.
Olivia can say "dada" now and she loves to scream! She LOVES to eat! We tried some new foods this month: yogurt bites, puffs, fruits, pastas and breads. At the end of this month, we did the Ferber Method again, and she started sleeping through the night again......yea!
Sitting up like a champ!

Brynley has a new obsession with Birthday cakes and singing "Happy Birthday", so she really wanted to sit on Papa's lap and help him blow out the candles.
Kristina's Family Baby Shower
Brynley came with me and loved the cupcakes....well, the icing!
After school one day, I took the girls to go see Addison after her soccer practice. They girls enjoyed playing on the playground for a bit afterwards.

The girls were finally able to take baths together this month, since Olivia was doing such a great job sitting up with control. YEA! I remember how much I loved taking baths with my two sisters when we were kids.
Brynley's new headphones.....she hasn't really used them since, because she isn't so sure about them yet.
I took the girls to see another Special Olympics Basketball game at Plano West. Brynley LOVES watching basketball.
For Jeff's birthday, I got us tickets to go see Zac Brown Band. It was soooo much fun! We tailgated for a bit then enjoyed the show (even though it was cold), then went to Brick House for a few more drinks.
Brynley was invited to Katherine's 5th birthday party at Sweet and Sassy. She loved it, but was mesmerized the entire time. She got to spend time with her good friend Addison!
