Brinley at 2 months old

Since babies grow so fast I'm going to try to do a monthly update on Brinley for all our family and friends who live far away (which is pretty much everyone, since we're the crazy ones who are always moving all over the country!)
Brinley had her two month well baby check today and is looking great! She is in the 56th percentile for weight and the 30th percentile for height (which is why she looks so chubby : ) She weighs a solid 11 lbs 2 oz which is pretty impressive considering she's almost
doubled her birth weight!
Brinley has a very sweet personality. She harldy ever cries (quite different from her older sister) and she loves to stare at people's faces and say "Ah goo" in the most precious little cooing voice that my ears have ever heard. I am truly smitten with her and am amazed at how much I love this tiny person who I've only known for 2 months!

Brinley is always eager to return a smile to anyone who looks at her. She has wooed many a random customer at Wal-Mart with her winning grin.

Brinley's favorite position is on her tummy. She spends most of her days on her belly on a blanket, watching her big sissy or trying to solve the mystery of the strange furry creature that is constantly licking her feet. (Yes, that's what Monty is doing in the background, he is obessed with licking her footisies, I don't know why)

She sleeps for 6-7 hour blocks at night which is pretty awesome. She also sleeps through most of the day still, though she's starting to be up more often which is a lot of fun. Teya absolutely adores her and loves to "pet" tickle, hug and kiss her. Taber and I adore her too and have decided if all our kids are as mellow as Brinley then we could definitley have 6 or 7 of them ; )

What a cute little girl! I think she is looking more like Teya too...especially with that cool smile. Adorable.

I know everyone is saying it, but I am going to as well... She looks JUST like Teya! That's a great thing because Teya is so darn cute! I could eat Brinley's cheeks!

Becca! I can't believe how MUCH she has grown up. She is not a newborn anymore! I love that when they really start getting personality. Your move to Minnesota reminds me SO much of our move to Chicago. We were shocked at the price difference from Tennessee--but we did enjoy the wonderful planned community with millions of parks and lakes and things for families. The swing Teya is swinging in is the exact kind we had in Chicago. Haela LOVED those. You will also LOVE all the things to do INSIDE during the winter. My sister-in-law is from Minneapolis and--despite the cold--there were inside playgrounds, pools, and community activities. It was like that in Chicago too. Have fun at the MALL OF AMERICA too! Have you been yet?
