Milestones and Changes

Well it is amazing how much has changed in just the last couple of weeks. Brynn was at the Beyer's (they are who will be watching her when I go to work) about 2 weeks ago... and just in that little of time, I feel like they are getting a much different baby! Brynn now can go from laying down to sitting herself up. It is so cute, but also causing some problems at nap time/ bed time. If she isn't super tired, or asleep in my arms, it has been a battle. She keeps sitting up in her crib... because she can. She is also mobile now... so if she gets bored with her toys, watch out. She is most likely wanting something she shouldn't have.

Bottles and solids are still something she isn't extremely interested in... bottles she will need to learn fast that she needs to be ok with them. As far as solids go, it will happen. She loves her sweet potatoes. LOVES them. I made a huge batch of them for her. I just made some apples so we will have to try those soon. Solids don't have a ton of nutritional value before the age of 1, so I feel ok about that. She gets them typically 1-2 times a day, or I should say we attempt them :) But some days, when we will be out all day, I just nurse her. Speaking of that... I decided I am going to pump at least 1x a day while at work. I am not quite sure of the logistics of it yet... but as much as I hate pumping, I am going to give it a shot.

Brynn also had her first trip to Eveleth and Lake Vermillion. The weather was fabulous and she had a good time. She even went mini golfing with us and she hung out in my Beco on my back! It wwas so cute. She went to Grandma Babich's house for the first time as well. Grandma was so excited to see her.

Were heading to the fair today. SO pumped for that, but not so pumped for having to battle the crowds with a stroller. I would just wear her in my Beco, but being there all day, I know that will be hot/ tiring/ and she will nap a lot better in her stroller. Hopefully it goes ok. I can't wait to eat- although last year was amazing being pregnant and being able to eat. I am pretty sure I blogged about that last year :)

Tomorrow is my first day back to work. I am not going to lie, I am excited. Of course I am sad to leave Brynn, I will worry about whether or not she is eating, or sleeping, but I am looking forward to some "me" time. Some time to catch up with friends from work.. and time away from the house. I am ready for a new school year and excited for what the year will bring. It will be a fun ride adjusting to working full time while having a baby. I am preparing myself for exhaustion and lots of sleep deprevation.

Here is a video of Brynnie in her jumper!
