I know she is a big baby but when I'm holding her she seems so little to me. I think the camera adds 10 lbs to her. 
Logan is such a big helper. He is willing to get me blankets, burp clothes, and pacifiers. He will actually lay down next to her and talk and sing to her, show her toys, and most importantly put the pacifier back in her mouth when she gets fussy. I think the maximum amount of time he is interested in her is 10 minutes and I have figured out how to get a lot done quickly in 10 minutes these day. Nixon loves her too. Whenever he sees her he say, "awhhhh." And then affectionately tries to poke her eyes. Not sure why he is so interested in her eyes. 
Some facts about this sweet girl:-she takes a pacifier (I kind of wish she was like Nixon and sucked on her thumb)
-she wants to be held ALL the time. I don't know if you can spoil a baby but I hold her ALL day long. Minus the 10 minute intervals Logan will help me. She will be sound asleep with me holding her but as soon as I lay her down she wakes up and fusses until I hold her. I really don't mind holding her all day. My cousin Jamie lost her baby to SIDS in early December. Baby Tehya was just 3 1/2 months old. Kyle read something to me shortly after we found out about her passing that one way to prevent SIDS was to hold your baby frequently throughout the day in an upright position. So I do, even though I know there isn't any known cause of SIDS. Wish I could have a full ekg monitor and pediatric crash cart in my house. SIDS worries me!
-She eats about every 2 to 3 hours. Only nurses on one side at a time.
-To be honest I have no clue what happens at night. Sometimes I wake up and she is still in my arms. Sometimes she is in her infant separator (in my bed). I think she still follows the 2-3 hour feeding schedule at night but I really don't know.
-She poops with every single diaper change. She is in size 1-2 diapers.
-even though she looks big, she fit in newborn clothing until just last week.
-I put a headband and bracelet on her everyday, because I was told by numerous people to get her used to wearing them, or when she gets older she won't want to wear them.
-She smells delicious even though Kyle says she smells like spit up.
-She hardly spits up.
-She is covered in zits as of yesterday, ugh.
-she is balding...real attractive.
-She chatters her chin
-She makes eye contact, and tracks with her eyes. Her eyes are still blue, but I'm sure she will be brown eyes like the rest of her family.
-Still not sure what her hair color will be. The roots look light. The nurses at the hospital and Kyle said she was blond. Who knows.
I love, love, love her! This weekend I was watching our church general conference which is fairly difficult to do with little boys running around. However, I was holding Brynnley and the choir was singing, "the spirit of God," and I immediately thought about how she was just in heaven with our Heavenly Father. I'm so grateful to Him for sending her to our home. Oops, Logan says he's done (watching her). Better go!

She is such a little cutie! Glad to hear you are enjoying all of it. (I feel that sometimes there just isn't enough time in the day to do that) Before you know it she will be running around with her big brothers.
Love, love, love her chubby cheeks!!! Don't your arms get tired carrying her around?? So glad things are going well!
so so cute! I too have days where I feel like all I do is sit in a chair and hold baby(ies). I feel like I get nothing accomplished, but I tell myself I will miss it :>) She is beautiful and looks a lot like Nixon to me!
