Brooklyn is 1 Month Old!

My baby girl turned 1 month old on February 12th. She is 22 inches long, 9 pounds 9.6 oz, and her head is 13 inches around. She is getting so big. We have had a great month with Daddy at home with us. Brooklyn is sleeping ok but is still pretty inconsistent. She did go 7 hours between feedings after Papa rocked her to sleep on Friday night. What a way to bring in your 1 month birthday with eating and 7 hours of beauty rest!! Was great for me too!

Brooklyn is eating well and gaining right on track. She went from 9 pounds 6.4 ounces at 3 weeks to 9 pounds 9.6 ounces at 1 month and 2 days (Valentine's Day). She is now eating from 6-8 times most days.

She is holding her head up and looking around more and more. This morning she even smiled at me...usually smiles occur while she is sleeping. Her eyes are currently still blue/gray. We'll see if they stick around or if she'll have brown eyes like her momma. Another thing she does is hold on very tight. I don't remember Makena doing that. I remember Makena pulling her hands away when you touched them. Brooklyn loves to hang on to things, whether it be your finger, shirt or my hair. Here are a few pictures capturing this month. I also have some others that Jennifer took that I will post soon. They turned out wonderful!

Granny B and Papa with Brooklyn before church. I wish you could see her dress better. It is a beautiful Feltmon Brothers dress from a friend, along with a beautiful crocheted sweater.

Special outfits from Janet and Becky. Love them! Thanks for the outfits!

Resting up...maybe getting ready to go shopping. :)

Brooklyn's first bath at home on January 20th. She did not like it, but she likes them much better now.
