Our new 6 year old!

Today is Brynna's 6th birthday! Six years ago at this very minute I was sitting with her in the NICU, worried about our precious new baby. And at over 9 lbs, 6 oz, she made quite a funny sight in the NICU next to the preemies and twins. But she was born with a little issue that just needed a surgery a few months later to correct, so while they assessed her situation, we camped out in the NICU at Wilford Hall. But she was fine, the surgery fixed all, and she has been our cuddly, lovable Brynna ever since.


Brynna is our soft-spoken one who always seems to have a smile or a laugh for everyone in the house. She still loves to cuddle up in your lap, although she is growing so much it isn't the easy fit it used to be. She has also become quite a big help to me around the house. She loves to read, and I actually had to take away a book from her that she was trying to read WHILE sweeping, just before this picture was snapped. :)

We love you, Brynna Nicole!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRYNNA! (And I think it's time you gave me a shoulder massage, don't you?)

Tami, I remember coming to visit you at Wilford Hall after Brynna was born. I couldn't believe how big she was!!! At that point, I hadn't had a big baby yet so I was just amazed! She was this cute bundle of rolls with red hair! So precious!

Happy birthday, sweet girl!!!

Remember, we have already claimed Brynna for one of our sons so no more telling cute stories or posting pretty pictures of her, please!

I remember when she looked like one of those Easter "Peeps" bunnies...so round and soft. Now she's all grown up and so pretty. Give her a birthday hug from the Slaughters.

Tami said...

Sorry, Aub, but until she is officially claimed (and someone else is paying for her) the cute pics and stories will abound. :) Just think about what a prize she'll be by the time SOMEONE marries her! He'll feel so proud of his famous bride. LOL

What a beautiful birthday girl!

I wonder, did you use Tapestry a few years ago and get to meet Jean Kovatovich when she hosted a support group?

Tami said...

No, I just started Tapestry at the beginning of this year - we are finishing up our first TOG year. Why?
