Baby Girl is one month! This month has flown by. It's hard to remember a time without Brynn in our lives.
Brynn is an eating machine. She was 5 pounds 10 ounces when she was born and 5 pounds 6 ounces when we left the hospital. By October 6 (
one week after she was born) she was back up to her birth weight. At her two week appointment (
the doctor hoped she would be back to birth weight by this appointment) she was 6 pounds 9 ounces and the doctor was very impressed. I'm not sure what she weighs now because Tate broke our scale but I'm guessing she's closing in on 8 pounds.
She is very alert and is awake much more than Tate was at this age.
Along with being an eating machine, she's a pooping champion. She is
always pooping. Sometimes she even gets some distance with undiapered poops. Take it from me, poop shooting out of a baby's bum is both terrifying and hilarious. And gross.
