1 month old!

Can you believe Brynn is already a month old??? Where did the time go? She'll be 3 months old and my maternity leave will be over before I know it!

Anyway, she's doing great! She went to the doctor for her 1 month check up today and here are her stats:
  • 10 lbs 15 oz - 90th percentile - looks like somebody loves her some milk
  • 22 inches long - about 80th percentile - yes, she was 22 inches when she was born, but at birth they measure using a tape measure and so they usually measure about 2 inches longer than they actually are. Bottom line, she's grown about 2 inches in the last month.
  • 15 inch head circumference - about 75th percentile

Other notables for this month:

  • Sleeping about 7-8 hours (7:45 to 3:15ish) then about 4 after that (usually wakes around 7:00)
  • Takes 3 naps a day. Sometimes it's hard to tell as one basically runs right into the next with a feeding in between. No crib naps yet. Usually 1 or 2 of them are in her car seat (aka her second home) and the other she is usually held or is in her swing. Will attempt the crib nap in another week or so.
  • She makes an excellent walking buddy and pool buddy. She just sleeps in her car seat and hardly ever makes a peep.
  • She's starting to pay a little bit of attention to her siblings. Blythe rarely leaves her alone and I think she's already starting to get a little annoyed. She does not like it when Ethan tries to give her a bath. Probably has something to do with the water guns. Or the water dripping into her eyes.
  • Loud noises don't bother her a bit. As a 3rd child, this is a good thing. I remember when Blythe was a baby and people said to make noise and get her used to sleeping in noise. It would never have been possible to make as much noise as Blythe and Ethan together can make.
  • She smiles a lot, but no "real" smiles yet. Just lots of gassy ones and it appears she has very happy dreams. And there must be something funny happenning in her dreams as she laughs a lot while dreaming too.

Now I can see her with her eyes open!! She is a doll, and she'll look completely different the next time I see her. Be sure to send pictures. I'm missing you guys already.
