labor day

another full weekend...

great time with aunt mandy, nana and grandpa!  the only thing that would've made it better - having dray home.  we've missed him and hope he's had a great time in houston working on his baby - by baby I mean mable - by mable I mean his camaro.

how did our weekend start... game day!!

LSU vs Oregon... and that's how you hunt!!

of course aunt mandy brought bryn the cutest outfit!!  it was a little big but she wore it purple and gold proud!!  we didn't go to the game with them but we did get out and meet everyone for lunch - bryn got to enjoy her lunch with grandpa!

it was a good time had by all!!  

we all know that when mom, sis and I get together there's alway room for shopping - and of course our shopping day wouldn't start right if we didn't go to II Brothers!  yummy!  it was another great day with the family!  bryn had two full weekends in a row and we enjoyed spending time with all the family!

 as you can see we got in a few pics - the picture fairy, once again, forgot to capture all moments.

you would think as a new mom I would jump at the chance to take pictures - well - it helps if you have the camera with you!! 

all in all it was a great weekend - I did learn a lot about myself - and no, not all good!  I learned that I need to breathe and allow other people to care for Bryn - it's hard - I never thought I would be the mom who insisted things be done my way - not necessarily the right way - but my way.

 guess I haven't had much practice in someone being here and wanting to take care and play

with Bryn... oh my... what am I going to do when we are finally ready to hire a babysitter... I already feel for that person!  I watch people with her and my mind goes crazy... 'why are they holding her that way' - 'do they know her head is just hanging there' - 'is there really multiple ways to put a diaper on' - 'no, she likes it this way' - I think I need help!!!  why is it so hard to let go of control... everyone wants to help and spend time with her and for that I should be extremely thankful... I am thankful but have come to the conclusion that i do better if I'm not here!!  :)  and ya know what - when I do get out when someone's watching her I enjoy myself and really don't worry about her cause I know she's in good hands... baby steps I guess!

with that... I bid a goodnight with this...

what infant doesn't need a stuffed alligator???  this was a gift from aunt mandy's good friend (along with the tiger in the picture) - can you guess why???  swamp people baby!!  dat der's sum good TV!!
