Day 117 - Slogging Along

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. It's been a busy, busy couple of weeks with moving and finals n' stuff. Also, there's nothing new to report with Brooklyn. She's 7-1/2 pounds now! B is slowly starting to eat a bit better but she'll definitely be in the NICU for another 2-3 weeks. Kelly and I have decided to stop projecting "coming home" times and just focus on the fact that our little girl is happy and healthy. And boy oh boy is she happy!

Brooklyn is a tad behind on getting the whole eating thing down, but she's developing quickly in other areas. For example, B can now turn her head from side-to-side during tummy time and the way she looks at us continues to amaze us. She's a very social baby (shocker) and loves to play, cuddle, and talk. Yep, talk. It sounds like a growling kitty...so cute. Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

Cute n' chubby
