Two Week Check-up

Today Brooklynn went for her two week check-up.  She now weighs 8 lbs 5 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long.  The doctor said that she is a healthy girl and has excellent control of her head to be so young.  Recently Brooklynn has had an upset stomach and has been fussy, so the doctor decided to change her formula to one that she may be able to digest more easily.  Either way she said that it is common for babies her age to have this problem because of the immaturity of the digestive system and that in a few weeks she should be over it. 

Wiggle Worm

                                          Finally a picture with my eyes open!

Brooklynn has found a way to wiggle out of her sleep positioner during the night, but as long as she keeps on sleeping we don't mind!  We've added some new pictures in our Family Album.  Check them out!

Music!

Today Brooklynn learned about three different instruments.  She is a big fan of the piano and banjo, but not so crazy about the electric violin.  I also found out that she prefers Ann Murray's version of "You are my Sunshine" instead of Ray Charles' version!  Her favorite song, however, is Canon in D.  It puts her to sleep every time!  Tomorrow Nick insists that she learn about the pan flute and the cow bell. 

More Pictures

Here are a few more pictures from over the weekend.  We survived our first night without grandma and Brooklynn slept almost five hours again!  She is such a sweet girl and still perfecting that pouty lip for future use!

A Good Night's Sleep

Brooklynn had her first good night's sleep at home last night.  The doctor suggested not waking her up every three hours to eat and just letting her wake up on her own since she is gaining weight and eating so well.  The only problem with this is that Brooklynn loves to snuggle and doesn't like to sleep in her crib during the night.  We bought a sleep positioner yesterday and put her to bed around 11:15.  She slept until 3:50 this morning!  After that she was wide awake and ready to go for the day, but Nick and I were excited that she actually slept for almost 5 hours!  We'll see how she does tonight . . .

First Doctor's Appointment

This morning we bundled Brooklynn up and set off for her first doctor's appointment.  When we left the hospital Brooklynn's  weight was down to 7 lbs 3 oz and today she was back up to 7 lbs 7 oz.  The doctor said that Brooklynn looks great and is a happy, healthy baby!

Today we've added more pictures to the last album "Brooklynn's First Week."

Brooklynn's First "Bath"

Brooklynn received her first official  "bath" tonight.  She is not a fan of being naked, but just like her brother, Tugboat, she soon realized that being dried off with a warm towel is the best part!  

Check out my first bath pictures in the family album!
