4 Weeks


This week Brynlee Ann:
  • Went to church for the first time and only fussed when she needed a diaper change halfway through the service!
  • Started enjoying about an hour and a half to two hours of awake time after each feeding before taking a short nap!
  • Slept two full nights in her own room only waking up for feedings! 
  • Decided she likes to smile at Daddy - Mommy doesn't get nearly as many smiles as Daddy does and she's okay with that because a girl's got to love her Daddy :-)
  • Read lots of books with Mommy. Her favorite is Bright & Beautiful read by Granny Nanny!

1 Week

I have loved every.single.moment of mommyhood thus far! It is definitely a life experience that words cannot explain. Brynlee Ann has brought both Brian and I so much joy and love.

I want to document our sweet Brynlee Ann's little life and growth, but I'm just not sure I can keep up with blogging often. My goal is blog once a week for the first year of Brynlee Ann's life - thus, 52 Weeks of Brynlee Ann.



This Week Brynlee Ann:
  • Spent 2 days in a blue lighted blanket (Blue Light Special, Isle 2!) 
  • Met lots of nice people including (but not limited to) Grandma, Granddad, Granny Nanny, Papa John, Uncle Matt, Aunt DiDi, and so many more! 
  • Taught her daddy that girls can pee on you
  • Visited her daddy at work
  • Went to her first restaurant - Ninfa's!
