One Month Old!!

Brady is now 1 month old!!

He is doing fantastically - we went to the doctor yesterday for the one month checkup and he weighs 10 lbs 5 oz now! Obviously, that little lack of weight gain problem in his first two weeks is no longer an issue. He's an eating machine (and therefore, pooping)

He's starting to smile now...it's the cutest thing ever! His whole face lights up - and those cute as can be dimples come out! I've been trying to capture it on camera to show you, but it's a very difficult task. In the video, you can see the beginnings of his smile......I'll work on getting pictures of this little munchkin with his big ol' toothless grin.

We started "tummy time" this week. He loves spending time on his tummy (as long as he can still see/hear Mom and Dad). His works his little butt up into the air - it makes us laugh every time. He is working hard on his muscles to help support that big head of his...before we know it he will be sitting up - it amazes us how quickly the learning curve is. In the first month of his life he: 1. puts his cute little butt in the air; 2. smiles; 3. responds to loud sounds (like Murphy barking); 4. responds to our voices; 5. gives Mom and Dad cuddles like you wouldn't believe!; 6. makes our lives so much richer and happier!!

His Puma's from Uncle Stevie - he wore them when we went to the day care center he will be attending in January to check it out....Brady needed to make a good impression on the ladies!

Tummy Time!! Working his little butt into the air:


The cutie pie!


Here's a video of his morning smiling/cooing/checking out the lights - -which he delights Mom with every morning as she drinks her (decaf) coffee:

3 Weeks - Time is flying by!

Well, Mr. Brady is 3 weeks old tomorrow....and three weeks is such a short time, but we couldn't imagine life without him now. Ok, so maybe we can imagine those nights with 8 hours of consecutive hours of sleep...but he's worth all the sleep deprived nights.

We are all doing quite well. Brady is getting bigger by the day - last week at the doctors office he was his birth weight again (8 lbs 14 oz) and was a whopping 21.5 inches. We go back next week for his 1 month check up.

Oh, and he FINALLY lost his umbilical cord - - we have an innie!!!

Here are some of the latest pictures:
