Big news!

Well I think most people already know because I don't know how to keep a secret but we are expecting baby Bybee #2! We are so excited! I am 14 weeks along and due on November 13. I don't have any pictures but I feel like I am already showing which is crazy because with Brynlee I didnt show until I was 5 1/2 months so it is crazy early this time! We find out if we are having a boy or girl on June 11th. In other news we also took Brynlee to baby animal days last weekend so here are some cute pictures from that. Here Brynlee is petting a little chick. She can be pretty rough so we were worried she was going to hit the animals which she did a little but was pretty good about TRYING to be soft. Hopefully she will catch on to the whole being soft thing before her little brother or sister is here.

Our House!

So another big thing that has happen with our little family is we bought a cute little home in Layton. I dont have everything decorated but here are some pics :) I don't know how to caption the pictures so I will just tell you here it is three bedrooms one bathroom. I was so excited to finally have a room to paint and decorate for Brynlee so that is probably one of my favorite rooms in the house. Brynlee got a swing set for her birthday which she LOVES! She loves swinging and going down the slide. Matt is so happy because he finally has a garden and is planting just about everything you can think of! I am excited to have fresh veggies and berries this summer! We usually get alot of natural light which I LOVE but it was overcast and rainy when I took the pics thats why there is no picture of the front of the house and the pictures of the back are threw a window haha.
Also a picture of our cute little lady :)

Brynlee's First Birthday!

I haven't blogged in forever so I will just start with Brynlee's Birthday! We had so much fun planning and having all our family come. Her birthday was on April 9th. Brynlee is such a fun and special girl. She blesses our lives so much and we are so lucky to have her. She is walking like a champ (was just taking a few steps on her birthday but is now running basically). She has such a fun personality and is always happy, it is a rare moment when she isnt content. She had so much fun having all her cousins over for her birthday and loved all of the fun things she received. She is a very loved and spoiled little lady. Here are some pics!

Update!

Well turns out I am not any better updating this thing for Matt (oops!). Luckily Matt was able to come home for Thanksgiving weekend and spend some quality time with me and Brynlee. It was so fun to have him back even if it is only for a short time. We had so much fun while Matt was home and Brynlee must miss him a ton because she has been an unhappy little girl ever since he left. We spent Thanksgiving day with Matts family and the rest of the weekend just hungout, watched movies, went bowling, went on a date! It was a really good weekend. Only 24 more days until he comes home for Christmas break!



Brynlee is growing so big! She is currently working on getting her bottom front tooth but it doesnt seem to bug her too much. She is also perfecting her crawl, at first she would only crawl to a treat or toy but now she crawls wherever she wants. It is so fun to watch her learn new things, she is such a smart little lady. She also love to growl, ALL THE TIME, but especially when she is drinking her bottle! It is the funniest thing I have ever heard. This little girl is going to have quite a personality she already wants to do things herself and doesnt like when you grab her arms, she jerks them away fast. Brynlee LOVES her food I have not found anything she doesnt like yet (maybe on the first try but after that she LOVES it) most of the time she makes it obvious I am not feeding her fast enough by growling at me. Brynlee is also becoming a great little sleeper (after ALOT of HARD work and many many sleepless nights) It took over a month but Brynlee now sleeps from about 7 at night to around 8 in the morning only getting up once to eat and then she goes right back down. Lets just say this has been amazing for both of us. I can tell she is a much happier baby when she is getting good sleep and I am happier with more sleep also. Brynlee loves reading books she will sit in my lap and read 3 or 4 books with me everynight sometimes even more! Brynlee is such a blessing in our lives and we love her so much. Matt and I are always saying that she is the best thing that has every happened to us and I cannot imagine our lives without her. We love her so so much!

Brynlee's almost 7 months old!

We can't believe that our little angel is almost 7 months old!! She is growing so well and we love her so much. Here are just a few of our favorite pictures of our little munchin!








Update!

Well it has been a seriously long time since I have updated our blog. Brynlee is doing awesome! At her four month appointment she weighed 15 pounds exactly (88%) 25 1/2 inches long (90%) and 75% for her head size but I cant remember the cm. She is now rolling over but mostly only rolls from her back to her tummy but will occasionally go back onto her back. She is getting so big and getting so smart. It is so fun to see her learn new things she is the best thing in our lives we love her so much.

We have officially moved back to Utah and Matt gets to stay with us until September 6th, then he flies to Texas until December. We loved living in Monterey! It is such a beautiful place and we had some really fun friends there who I will miss a ton! Matt did so awesome in his class in Monterey. He got a 3-3 on the final test which is the best you can get and graduated with a 4.0. He gave a little speech at graduation which was fun to see. My parents and little brothers were able to come down for his graduation and we went with them to point lobos which is a really beautiful area with a bunch of different hikes. We also went whale watching which was fun, we didn't see any whales but it was still fun to be out on the ocean and we saw a lot of jelly fish. I also have a video from when me, matt and Brynlee went to wild things which is a place with elephants and big cats mostly. Me and Brynlee got to feed the elephants which was so much fun!

Anyways I will be keeping my blog more up to date now that I have the internet and then Matt can check our blog from Texas to see pictures of Brynlee.

Brynlee Ellen Bybee








Our little girl finally arrived! She weighs 7 lbs. 1 oz. and measures 20.5 inches. Today has been an amazing day and one that we will never forget. It is hard for us to be away from our family, but we know that they love us and support us so much. We are also very fortunate to have the church in our lives because members of the ward here in Monterey are already helping us out. Everything is going well. We are very blessed.
