One Month Old Already!

Dear Brookelynn,

It's been a couple weeks since I have wrote to you, but I have been having too much fun with you. Where has the time gone? Today you are one month old and you have already grown so much, however, you are still a little pip-squeak. At your two week check up you were in the 37% tile, for height you were in the 44% tile and your head measured in at 66%. Yet, those headbands are still too big for you! 

You are a smart little cookie, you have already rolled over several times from your back to your tummy and your tummy to your back. You also lift your head up on your own on a regular basis and you have been doing both of these since you were about two weeks old. The first time you lifted your head while on your tummy was at your doctors appointment. I think you were showing off your new skill. And at three weeks old you learned how to suck your thumb. And you are trying to talk and getting closer to it every day. 

After two weeks of the witching hour (horrific screams and long nights) and our visit to the doctors we switched you to soy formula and you are doing so much better (Mommy had to be on soy too and the doctor says it's genetic...by the way you have the same doctor as Mommy did).  However, now you have a problem pooping and poop solid little turds and now we are switching back to regular formula.  Now we wait and see if it gets better...I hope I don't have to give you 'butt medicine'...everyday you are more and more like me. But, I'll save that story for later. (Crossing my fingers you don't start screaming again and your colic is better!)

At three weeks old we had our first trip away from you to attend a wedding and even though it was just a few hours I missed you soo much.  You had a lot of fun and were spoiled by Glammy and GeeGee (Or Grumps...yet another new name). 

You love your swing that your Great Great Uncle Rick and Aunt Nina got you. It really is a life saver for Mommy and Daddy too. You also love your pink Wubbanub bear and like to snuggle with your Taggie zebra. Your other favorite thing is bath time, you love the water trickled down your face and you love to get your massage afterwards. You also enjoy shopping and girl nights with Mommy and Glammy and you like to be included while we talk.  And you love kisses from Paisley and she is soo proud of her 'baby' she walks so proudly behind the stroller. 

Daddy went back to work and it's been a little hard for Mommy sometimes, you don't like to let me sleep much with you gabbing late at night (I think you'll be promoted to your own room soon!) But, thanks to Glammy and GeeGee Mommy is able to relax. Glammy is a great teacher!-XOX!

Ps.  You have the worlds coolest GeeGee he will get pedicures with you, have tea parties and have a treasure drawer full of presents for you whenever you come over.
