Happy 1-month Birthday, Brooklynn!

Well, we are still getting into a routine, but mostly Broolynn is SUCH a joy and we love her so much. She has been going through a growth spurt the last week or so and feeding almost every hour and has been fighting sleep as much as possible (mostly during the day, though) so she has been a little fussy because of that. She sure is precious, though.
She LOVES bath time, the other day I was in the tub with her and made the water a little deeper.I kinda just held her head and let her whole body "swim" and she LOVED it! She was kicking like crazy, happy as could be. Then she realized how strong she was and started to get a little scared so I had to hold her again. She is also doing so great at tummy time, she will lie there and play for quite a while. Her head control is already very good. She is still only getting up at night about twice to feed and then goes back to sleep. (with a few exceptions, but no one is perfect.)
Today we had our 1-month Dr. visit. She did great, only cried for a minute when she got her vaccine shot. :( Sure was sad, though! She is 23 1/4 " long (above 95%), 9 lb. 8 oz (50%) and her head circumference is 15" (70%). She is very very long and is already too long for 0-3 month clothes, but they are still too big around the waist. We are just wearing them short. She needs to get used to that anyway.
Pretty soon Grandma and Grandpa Bean are coming out for a visit so they can meet baby Brooke! We are all very excited!
