6 weeks old!

I have no idea where the time has gone, but our little girl turned six weeks old on Wednesday!!! She is doing great! We get her down for the night by about 11 o'clock each night (sometimes earlier) and she sleeps through till about 6 or 7 in the morning! We feel very very lucky!!! Brooklyn has been blessed with a bad case of baby acne that appeared around 3 weeks and is now going away. She started smiling more about a week ago and lately she seems to be making more noises. She also loves to kick and squirm on her back when she has fun things to look at. On October 7th, my Mom and I took her to the "Weigh to Grow" station at the hospital and she weighed 8lbs 5oz...so she is right on track!! Brooklyn has truly been a blessing and we both feel so so lucky! She puts a smile on our faces all the time.

In celebration of her 6 week birthday, we went on a family outing to a pumpkin patch! We had fun and she was able to pick out her first pumpkin!! We are planning on carving it this week!!
