I Have A New Auntie!
Hi, it's Briony here... My mommy's pretty tired from the wedding this weekend, so I decided to help her blog (I had a lot that I wanted to show you anyway). It was a very beautiful wedding. And the very best part is that Uncle Aaron married Auntie Cait, and we don't have to use airquotes around the word "auntie" any more!
I wasn't actually *at* the wedding - my Auntie Emily came and picked me up and babysat me - but I was there to help get everything ready and to take lots of pictures. Here are a few that I wanted you to see...
Here is me helping Auntie Cait get ready for her wedding:
She looked so beautiful! Well, you can see for yourself.
This is where all the guests sat to watch them get married.
Auntie Cait and the other people in the wedding party walked in over this bridge...
...around the pond...
...to the gazebo where she married Uncle Aaron.
Before I left, I got to spend time with some people I know. And I got a ride from my great-grandma on her scooter.
Mady was such a pretty flower girl, and we spent lots of time together giggling and playing on this bench before she had to get to work.
Hope you had a great wedding day, Uncle Aaron + Auntie Cait!
Love, Briony (and Chloe)
PS - I was SO MAD at my mommy when I found out that there was a fun party that I missed after the wedding. And it was a DANCE PARTY! If only I was as old as Mady and Sophie and Anica... They got to stay. And I heard they knew some cool dance moves.

Five Months Old
My baby girl turns five months old today. How the heck did that happen?! Seriously. I want to know. It blows my mind a little bit. This past month was all about improving on and perfecting the milestones she reached for the first time last month. It's amazing to me how much she's taking in, and how much she learns every single day.
And how are we celebrating this auspicious occasion of Briony's five month 'birthday'? By teething, of course. My normally happy baby has been crying on and off all day today. Here's hoping this is all very temporary - especially because I can't find any real teeth buds in her mouth yet.
New Things This Month:- Standing up in her exersaucer, thinking she's a big girl
- Constantly trying to sit up (not successful on her own yet)
- Lots of jolly jumper tricks, and jumping so high that she's topping out the spring
- Trying desperately to sit up (not successful yet)
- Fussing when a favourite toy is taken away or dropped on the ground
- Lots of rolling, and getting stuck on her face a little less often
- Lots more hair growing in (and it's *so* blonde!)
- So much talking and babbling and giggling...
- No teeth yet, but lots and lots of chewing and biting
- Discovering hair - hers and mine - and always wanting to play with it
- Successfully grabbing mommy's glasses off her face
- LOVING peekaboo and dancing with mommy and daddy
- Taking her pacifier in and out of her mouth
- Trying to feed herself by grabbing the bottle and pulling it to her mouth, and holding onto it
- Squealing when she recognizes someone she likes
- Briony's first Easter
Favourite Moments:- Watching her explore and take in more and more of the world around her
- Walking around our neighbourhood with the stroller (yay SPRING!)
- Briony charming everyone with her smiles and giggles at our Easter gatherings
- Five month photo shoot with Auntie Jessica and Chloe
Looking Forward To:Returning to BC in less than two weeks and spending *lots* of time outside.
