Over 1 month - 5 weeks



Erynn is getting bigger everyday. She is now drinking close to 6 ounces per bottle. It wasn't that long that we were happy to get her to drink 1 ounce. She is starting to really be bright eyed when she is awake now. She looks at you and moves her eyes with you as you move. We are finally in newborn clothes and diapers and out of the preemie wear.

Next week, I go back to the doctor for my six week check up and Erynn goes for hers the week after. I am 100% better and my organized brain appears to be back in place.

The only sadness right now is that my grandfather, the last of my grandparents, passed away this week. He was 88 and had been going downhill for the last month. Erynn shares his last name (Harper). She was named after him because he was such a great grandfather. He used to take us on walks, teach us how to make whistles and take us to get candy and cokes when we were kids. I will always remember the days we spent on his porch swing listening to the rain. I hate that Erynn will never know him but because of him, I know the meaning of enjoying the little things and I hope that I can share at least that with her.

Everyone, be sure to hug your family today and enjoy this week's pictures.

By the way, Scott and I had our 13th anniversary on Monday. We went to Red Lobster with Erynn so I could have my first shrimp since getting pregnant. Yeah for seafood!
