Bryleigh - 3 weeks old

Bryleigh is now officially 3 weeks old and in her first three weeks of life she has been very busy and has also changed a lot. The biggest change is probably her physical appearance. Even though we didn't have a weight check this week, you can tell she has put on some weight just from looking at her. Her clothes are fitting better, she has a little belly, and she is starting to get those famous "Baber" cheeks! :)

She is also more alert and socializing some with all of us when she is awake. She's very aware of what is going on around her and even tries to turn her head to look at sounds and people. After some of the feeds, she is wide awake and looking around for atleast half an hour. Her final big change is her bond with big brother Brenden. Tonight in the car we caught him leaning over to hold Bryleigh's paci in her mouth to calm her down when she got a little fussy. This is huge compared to his typical interaction with her when he steals her paci and announces that she doesn't want it as he sneaks it in his mouth. I think she is starting to win him over!

Her first 3 weeks have been busy with lunch dates, doctor appointments, shopping, and play dates with cousins. This past week she had her first photo shoot at Portrait Innovations which was a huge success. Finally, she got her first church experience tonight as we went for a special event and she got to hang out with us during the service. It was very exciting to have her there with us (outside of the belly) and be able to show her off to all of our friends and extended family.

This week of changes, growths, and activities have only reminded us of how lucky we are to have such a healthy and happy baby girl! We're so blessed and a day doesn't pass when we don't work hard to give praises to God for all that He has done for us and our family. We're also thankful for you, our friends and family, for all of your thoughts and prayers as we've adjusted. You are the best and we know it!
