took these amazing pictures of Brynn at just a week old...


I can't believe she is already one month old! I love that her cheeks are getting chubby. Tylie was always a skinny little thing!
Things have been crazy but good. Tylie decided the week after I had Brynn to become insanely difficult. She acted irritated at everything. She would wake up in the middle of the night crying for no reason, then wake up in the morning crying for hours and continue the crying throughout the day and night. Thankfully it has gotten a little better! I don't know what I would do if Dallas weren't home helping.
Brynn was a wonderful newborn for the first two weeks. Sleeping ALL the time. Now she is getting more high maintenance. She loves to be held and she knows if you sit down! She is good if you are walking around bouncing her. She is not very happy to stay in the swing, bouncer or the floor. She is still easier than Tylie was because she is a good eater and actually sleeps a little during the night!
When we found out Dallas had six weeks a paternity leave we thought what the heck was he going to do at home that long! Oh I know! Let me just throw out my back so you can take care of all three of us :) So that is what I did! I was carying Brynn around in a sling all day then went running that evening and in the middle of the night I sat up to feed Brynn and my back was out! I couldn't walk, sit, or move at all! It is feeling better each day, but man it is hard not having a back when you have a newborn to take care of!
I have to say, the second time around having a baby is SO much easier! You know what to expect and maybe we are just a little more relaxed too. It also helps to have a really hard baby first so the rest that follow seem like angels :)
I know I complain about how hard Tylie is, but she has so many sweet moments to make up for that. She loves her sister. She kisses and holds her all the time. I love it when she comes up and gives me a kiss or a hug out of no where! Brynn has been such a blessing and I can't stare at her enough!
