Brooklynn 9 & 10 weeks

Brooklynn is just a doll. The time is flying and she is growing! Brooklynn is smiling- she started about 2 weeks ago. She loves to be held and she especially loves her big brother. He loves to entertain her, and put her binky in when she fusses. He helps mom by "watching" Brooklynn while she takes a shower. Her sleeping is all over the place. She is definately different from Bennett as a baby. She sleeps from about 10-3, then off an on after that. Mom is trying to figure out a better sleep plan, but sticking to a routine is difficult lately.

Brooklynn 10 weeks: Brooklynn is still a content, happy baby! We had her 2 month doc. apt yesterday. She weighed in at 11.13lbs and 24 1/4" long. She is 52% for weight, and OFF THE CHARTS for length. She is super long- mom is hoping for a vball all-star! She is sleeping from about 9-4 (on a great night) and after she eats, she usually goes right back to bed for another 3 hrs. Mom wishes she could stretch out that sleep time after her night feeding. Brookylnn is only nursing- and she nurses SUPER fast! Only 5 mins (at the most) on each side. It doesn't feel like it is enough, but it must be, b/c she is growing like a weed. She still eats every 3 hours. Brooklynn only cries when she is tired. She loves being rocked to sleep. She will not let mama swaddle her, however I swaddle her from the chest-down, and I think it seems to help her sleep longer. She will wear bows and is happy to be kept "busy." She gets sick of the carseat after awhile, and is so happy to be held. She loves to make eye contact and just smile back. She also has recently found her fist. She holds it up and stares until it makes way to her mouth. She is the absolute happiest in the morning. Mom loves it. She has a lot of dark hair, a few inches long- on the back of her head. She has the most girly, beautifully curled eyelashes. We just love our beautiful girl!

1 month

Little Miss Brooklynn is 1 month old. She is so sweet, we love her so much. Currently, she eats every 2-3 hrs, sleeps 4-5 hours (since about 2 weeks) at night and loves to be held. Little missy only poops every 3 days. The longest was 6 days at 3 weeks. Mom & dad were worried, but the doc told us it was no big deal. She also LOVES bath time. At 1 month, Brooklynn weighed 10.13lbs and was 23 1/2" inches. She is such a happy, sweet baby!! We love Brooklynn.
