Brinlee Kate 2 months

Oh Brinlee - my sweet, sweet, precious girl.  

You are the best, calmest, easy going infant I have ever been around.  You are a snuggle bug, an awesome eater, champion sleeper and absolute joy.  

I have to admit, I was ready to send your brother back the first few weeks we had him home as a newborn because I didn't know how to deal.  I wasn't quite sure I was strong enough to handle another colicky, acid reflux infant and a toddler - but you are neither of those things my little love. You are just a perfect little joy.... a real life baby doll!  

We can also call this the month of the chunk and tongues.  My girl... you eat ALL the time and your tongue is out half the time.  Its so funny.  I am so very thankful that you have taken to nursing like you have and that I got through and over a few hurdles in the beginning.  It is one of my favorite times with you.  Because I have both you and Paxton AND because you are so "easy" compared to how much attention your brother needs/demands/deserves sometimes the only times we get alone are for nursing.  You are quick - 10 minutes a side max - usually less -which is a blessing because your brother ate for days.  I was worried about juggling nursing an infant and entertaining a toddler but you have made that easy for me.  Because you are such a great eater you are getting chunky and filling out in all the right places. God is so good in this way and we feel so blessed that you are so incredibly healthy.  

You are mesmerized by your brother, you LOVE to be sung to, you love to eat, you love your paci which you only get when its sleep time.  You love the rock n play, you are now sleeping in your own room and you sleep from about 8:30-12 and then 12-7.  AMEN.  Your momma is a sleepy head and I am BLESSED that you sleep so well.  Even during the day.  You can be playing one minute and I'll look over and you have fallen asleep.  Sleep training you has worked wonders.  You love lights and bouncing. You love to be held - in my arms, in the ergo, in the sling.  You do not like baths, having your diaper changed or the swing.  Other than that - you are one happy baby girl.    

tongue!

Paci love. 

tongue!

You are so different than your brother.  I would lay him down on a play mat and he would kick for days.  You just sweetly lay and watch and smile. 

playing and sucking on a toy one minute..

You are a light - a joy - a sweet little precious baby girl and we love you so.  You are so loved and adored by everyone in your life.  Happy 2 months baby girl.
