Little B or Big B? Updates

Update 1: Brooklyn is sleeping through the night!

Update 2: She can't wear 6-9 month pants, they don't fit over her thighs.

I love squeezing these legs!!

Sooo big!

First Mother's Day

My very first Mother's Day. Unfortunately, Kenyan had to work that day. But my Mother's Day gift came earlier in the week. Kenyan took a week of paternity leave last week. (Yes, he gets two weeks of paternity leave, very cool!) While he was home he was working out in the yard everyday, cutting out my flower beds for me. They're getting there, soon will come the process of picking out flowers and bushes. (I'm not so good with landscaping, we'll see how it turns out and if everything stays alive.) 

Several months ago, one of my former colleagues, gave me their piano that had been sitting in their garage. It's an older piano, but a piano nonetheless and I was excited!! Kenyan was going to surprise me and have it tuned, but hard to do surprises when I work at home. So he got it tuned, and the "piano man" is coming back again today to tune it again. (It hadn't been tuned for awhile....but like I said, it was free!!)

After church on Sunday I headed over to my parents' house for dinner and Kenyan was going to come over after work. I was coming down their street and Kenyan's car is in front of the house!! That was a pleasant surprise! He gave me the sweetest Mother's Day card from him and Brooklyn. (Brooklyn is one smart baby, she may not be able to talk, but she can write really sweet notes to her mom!)

I've only been a mom for almost 3 months, but I love it. I love that I get to wake up and see Brooklyn's cute face every morning. I love that she smiles at me when I sing songs to her. I love that even though she is so little, she makes me want to be a better person everyday. I love that she has blessed our lives and that she is home and she is healthy. I love that she is finding her voice more and more everyday. And I love that she knows who I am.

And I have to say Happy Mother's Day to my mom for all she has done for me! I don't know how you did it with 5 of us! I love you!!

Blessing Day: Brooklyn Nicole Sant

4 Generations!

Love these 2!!

Check out those ankles!

Our little blessing

Kenyan blessed Brooklyn on Sunday. It was a beautiful blessing and he blessed her with the right name...I was a little nervous he might say Mazee instead. LOL  (He's been known to do that around that house when he's holding Brooklyn and Mazee's sitting right next to him. Ok, I've done it one or two times myself as well.) Thank you to all our family and friends that were able to come!

Brooklyn's Stats

Little Miss B had her  2 month check-up today...are you ready for these stats? Drum roll please....

16 lbs. 8 oz.

25 inches long

She is in the 99th percentile! Her weight according to her height puts her in the 88th percentile.  

Way to be above average Little B!!

Happy Easter!

Brooklyn looks so excited for her Easter basket, and I'll admit, I really wanted the Duck Tales dvds when we saw them at Costco. I loved that show!!

2 Months!

Brooklyn is 2 months old today! I realize that this is not this old, but it's going by soooo fast!! I could stare at her and kiss her chubby cheeks all day long!

Some things Brooklyn is starting to do: 
- She is finally starting to be more alert, still a little drowsy because of the heart medication she is on for the next year.
- She is starting to smile. I melt when she looks at me and just smiles!
- She is starting to copy us when we stick our tongues out at her. 
- Every now and then we catch her starting to suck on her thumb.

I finally managed to capture a smile!

Mazee likes to lay under B's crib whenever we're in there  doing something.

Just chillin'!

B's Photo Shoot

My friend Bobette took some pictures of Brooklyn and my nephew Logan for us this weekend. I had a lot of fun getting B all dressed up. I can't wait to see how all the pics turned out, but if you want a sneak preview go here. Bobette did great! Thanks Bobette!!
