Hello everyone,
It's that time again.....an update about Brooklyn and all that she has been up to. I hope you are all doing good and things are going well. Brooklyn is now 7 weeks old, boy does time fly fast. She is doing some amazing things such as smiling, cooing, holding her head up all by herself, and even pushing up during tummy time. I can say that the best thing was her first smile at Mommy. I had to look at her and ask her if she really just smiled at me. Sure enough she did it again to verify that, yes she did!!! We have done some outings recently and she continues to grow each day.
It is amazing how babies develop and have their own personalities, Brooklyn does have some of my characteristics! I guess in the end she looks just like Daddy but acts just like her Mommy...hahaha The doctor's visits have been good, she is on target for everything. Her last weight was 2 weeks ago and she was 9lbs 9 ounce and 22.5 inches long. She did really well when she had to get her shots and only cried for a short time. When she does cry she puts her lower lip as far as it can go and pouts before letting out a wail. My baby is already figuring out how to put on a pouty face for us.
So the baby days have been tough and easy at different points. She likes to cry sometimes and makes me think that she will be a expressive person. We are getting better at knowing what it is she wants, a diaper change, food, or just wanting to be held. One thing I am excited about is watching the video the Happiest Baby on the Block...boy did that save Chris and I...whewwwwww It gave us wonderful tips on how to calm our baby and provide her needs. So if you know anyone that has a baby, I highly recommend it. Training has started for all of us, and we are on week three. Man is it hard getting back into shape. I am taking each day slow but realizing that this is going to be hard hard work. I am feeling things that I have never felt before, and I am feeling like I am getting old (knees hurt, hips hurt, legs juggle haha) But I am determined to make my comeback and show Brooklyn what Mommy did and can do. So best of luck to us all!
