Brynna Turns One Month Old



My Brynna bear is already one month old and now weighs 11 lbs and 10 oz. I can't believe how the time flies. It seems like we just brought her home and already the first month is over. I am trying my best to slow time down so I can enjoy every moment of her being a baby. I feel like Dane grew up on me so fast and since Brynna is our last baby I have to enjoy it before she too is running around and in that crazy toddler stage.

We are going to do the same thing we did with Dane and take her picture every month with her stuffed animal that contains her heartbeat inside. It was so nice to be able to look back at how much Dane grew each month so we want to do the same with her. The special story behind the dog is that Dane picked it out for her. We took him to build a bear to pick out an animal for his baby sister and he picked out this puppy. Dane even got to warm up the heart and kiss it before it was stuffed. If I would have been thinking I would have pictures of that too but give me a break I was uncomfortably pregnant and lacking brain power. :)

Fathers Day 2011


I wish I would have been able to record a video of Dane walking into the bedroom carrying this big blue bag saying "Dad-dee! Dad-dee! Dad-dee!" It was so incredibly sweet. Jacob woke up to two of the most precious gifts on earth wanting to give him his Fathers Day gift. They hopped in bed with him and watched him open his gift and then we treated him to his favorite Sunday morning breakfast at Hardees.

Brynna's Fourth week


Dane does love his sister but he really just didn't want to miss a photo opportunity

Just hanging out with her awesome big brother
This week Brynna weighed 9 lbs 14 oz. Every week she is gaining weight and getting stronger. She is finally starting to give me more than 2 hours sleep at a time so I am starting to feel human again. She has even went as long as 5 hours between feedings. Although it is not consistent yet I am thankful that I can catch up on a little sleep. I really enjoy the innocence of a newborn baby but man I hate waking up in the middle of the night.
