Weight- 8 pounds and 14 ounces. Growing Growing. You can definitely tell in her carseat how much heavier it is.
Length- A little over 21 1/2 inches.

| She always has her hands over or up by her face. |
Sleep- Once we got the ok to not wake her up every 4 hours she started waking every 2 hours to eat. Before hand she was sleeping the full 4 with me having to wake her. Some nights I don't feel so exhausted and others it's very exhausting. During the day though she will take about 2 1/2 to 3 hour naps almost what seems like all day long. I try to wake her and she won't budge. She hates being flat on her back so we prop her on the boppy in her bassinet or she is on her belly in bed with us.
Eating- Breastfeeding every 2-3 hours with the occasional bottle with Brad. She doesn't mind the bottle at all and doesn't get confusion. Which is great. I don't consistently pump yet, just when I feel like it or someone is there to take Brynn. Haven't figured out pumping and feeding her all at the same time. She chows down and I can hear her gulping. It's the cutest.
Diapers- She is still in newborn, but once we get Brad off I want to start with cloth diapers. Especially since it'll be easier and cheaper overseas. She has a wet and dirty diaper with every feeding if not more. We have learned to wait a little when we think she is done because she definitely isn't. haha
Clothing- She is also still in newborn clothing with the occasional 0-3 month. It fits her a little big through the butt and leg area, but is definitely just right in length. My long. skinny babe. Newborn clothes are starting to get a little short, but perfect everywhere else. We literally didn't buy any newborn thinking she would be big, so we have gotten a lot of gifts and shopping sprees. :)
Mood- She is all in all a great baby. She only cries when she is hungry and is unwrapped. She absolutely hates to be cold. She has done her first non-sleeping laugh for Brad, of course. ;) We have started to have some bad gas pains while I am trying to figure out what to cut out of my diet. She will squeak so sadly and it breaks my heart.
