Our best day yet!

Napping in my big girl crib!

Big Max is 1!! Happy Birthday Buddy!

My Uncle Scubby loves me...

Happy Friday! And what a beautiful fall Friday it is! The weather in central PA couldn't be better right now - especially for those hunters looking for the big bucks in the early morning!

In the last few days, our little Brookie turned 4 weeks old, spent the day with her favorite Aunt Meggie, went to her very first birthday party, consistently started eating 3 ounces at each feeding, AND turned ONE MONTH OLD!

It was exactly one month ago today that our precious baby girl came into the world! As Manda and Brandon celebrate ONE YEAR with Big Max, one month doesn't seem so big, but seeing the changes in this little girl in such a small amount of time gives me a peek into all that is to come in this lifetime!

This little gorgeous girl just keeps getting better and better! Her eating habits have improved, she's definitely growing, she's becoming much more alert and she is sleeping for longer periods of time during the night!

Yesterday was definitely OUR BEST DAY YET! Aunt Meggie played 'hooky' and spent the entire day with us! It was a day with just the girls, as my Mom joined us for lunch and special time with Brooke as well. Brooke must have been very excited to see her Aunt since she stayed awake for 2 whole hours after her morning feeding! We played on the floor and had long talks with Brookie until she eventually fell back to sleep in Nana's arms just after noon! The child slept until her next feeding (4.5 hours improved from 3!) and stayed awake until we left for Big Max's birthday party! She fell asleep in the car and slept through the entire party until we woke her after almost 5 hours to eat before heading home! Her awake time paid off after we were only up to feed at 10:30, 2:45, and 6:30! Not so bad!

Nana came to stay with Brookie for the first time this morning while I went to my follow up appointment with Dr. Grill! It was so crazy to be in that office and NOT be pregnant - let's just hope it's a LONG TIME before that happens again! When I got back from my appointment, Nana and Brookie were enjoying a bottle and I was greeted with a 'big girl burp' from my gorgeous girl!

This afternoon we went to Daddy's work to see all of the girls! Jenn, Keitha, and LeAnn just fussed and fussed over this little girl and her Daddy and I just loved showing her off!
After a quick lunch out with Brandon, we took Daddy back to work and now we're home to rest for a little while! It won't be long until she needs to eat again!

We're hoping for lots of outside time this weekend! Maybe a walk with Manda and the kids is in order for today!
We can't wait to enjoy this awesome fall weekend! Enjoy the new pictures!
Until next time!
