Second Week of Life...Getting so Big

Week number two went very well. Bryan and I are learning our routine and figuring out how to handle nights & days! We're getting Brylee on a better schedule beginning this week, helping her learn her nights & days and figuring out her eating & sleeping schedule. We're using the book Baby Wise, which has come highly recommended, to help us. So far, its been great!

We took Brylee to the Wylie Christmas Parade, dressed to impress and look festive!

Jan, Bryan's mom, stayed with us for most of the second week. She was a great help! It has been fun these last few days being our own family of three and figuring this all out on our own!






Mark Perry stopped by to visit Brylee before he and his wife depart to Germany for three years! It was great to see him, and crazy to think last year at this time we saw Mark in Mexico for his wedding, and this year we see Mark because we had a baby! Who would have known.

Brylee went to the doctor for her two week "well-baby" check-up. She did fairly well, obviously not enjoying the heel prick or the cold stethoscope, but checked out great! She weighs 9 lb 2 oz in the 75th%, 20 7/8 inches long in the 75th%, and head circumference in the 50th% (which is funny, because at the time of birth, it was her large head that caused me to have a C-section...now she's just average!)
