Brianna - 1 Month Old

Our sweet Brianna is already 1 month old! Actually, she's now 6 weeks old, I'm just really bad about finding time to do new blog posts lately. 

Of course Maya was in attendance at the photo shoot.

To be honest, I was a little nervous about how Brianna might be as a baby, only because Maya was such an angel. I have a lot of friends/family that had a great baby and a really hard baby, so I figured I was in for it with her. I was quite mistaken and silly for worrying! Brianna is just as great as Maya was.

Maya and Brianna already have a great bond. Maya loves to hold her sister and tries to be as helpful as possible when Brianna is crying. Brianna is pretty patient with her young older sister when she is getting smothering hugs. :)

Brianna sleeps great. She takes good naps during the day and sleeps about 12 hours at night, waking up 2 or 3 times to feed. She nurses much more quickly than Maya did. Each feeding is only 20-30 minutes instead of 40 minutes. She is already a pro at falling asleep on her own. She doesn't even cry when we lay her down awake - she just falls asleep! Let's hope that lasts!

She does, however, have the same problem when I eat chocolate. I even got to experience projectile spit-up one day. Imagine a hose spraying out of a baby's mouth 4 times in a row, and you have a pretty good picture. I'm not finding it too difficult to avoid chocolate after that happened!

She still has all of her hair! No bald spots at all yet.

Everybody says she looks like her daddy. I definitely think she has Ryan's brow. When she gets upset she gets a little ball of skin between her eyes, just like Ryan gets when he furrows his brow. I think it's so funny!

I love this little girl and her very content personality! I am looking forward to watching her grow up!
