5 months

Hi All-

Sorry, we are running a little behind in our posts. It's amazing how fast time goes by with a baby in the house. Right now he's down for his morning nap - - so, hopefully I'll be able to post before he wakes up.

So, Brady is still doing great. He weighed in at 19 lbs 4 oz at his 5 mos check up, and was 27.5 inches long - - needless to say, he's a big boy. He still is loving daycare - - still smiling when I drop him off, and still smiling when I pick him up.

This month Kate went away for a weekend to Denver, and left Brady and Brian to fend for themselves. Of course, it was the first time Brady had a head cold....so Brian definitely had his hands full. But, he did great - Brady was so well taken care of with Mommy gone.

Here are some pictures from this past month - -

4 Months

Well, it's been four months since Brady was born - - time sure travels fast.

He's doing fantastic. He started daycare three days a week for full days, and he loves it. He smiles as soon as we walk in...and he's still smiling when he's picked up. All the teachers keep telling me how lucky we are to have such a happy baby - - he smiles and laughs all the time. He's such a bundle of joy. Beverly, the woman at the front desk of the daycare, told me the other day when I dropped him off, that whenever she's having a rough day, she goes in to see Brady - - his smile always brightens her right up. Granted, there are a bunch of cute kids there...it's pretty hard not to leave there smiling.

Brady weighed in at 18lb 2.5ozs and 27 inches long at his 4 month check up. Needless to say, he's a growing boy.

We started him on some solids this month..and we are having such fun introducing him to foods. So far, he has liked everything - - which includes, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, and rice. And, he likes to eat just as much as Mom and Dad, whenever he finishes he looks at me like "Where's the rest, Mom?"

Our first taste of rice....

Not sure if I like it.....

Love my sweet potatoes - -

All done.....full belly!

Snow!!!!!

Today was Brady's first experience in the snow. We think Mom and Dad were more excited than he was, he was just taking it all in....looking around (well, trying to...he was so bundled up). Here are some pics of the experience:

All Bundled up - heading out!

A Video of Brady's first sledding experience - turn the volume down.....Mom is loud:

Here's a video of Brady turning over - - as soon as he goes on his tummy, he flips over - - I literally put him on his tummy, turned the camera on, and.....over he goes!

3.5 months old!

Happy New Year to all - - we are super excited for this upcoming year with Brady.

Sorry that it has been so long since the last post, the holidays were super busy around here...as I'm sure they are for everyone.

Brady is doing great - - at his 3 month check up he was 25.5 in. long, and 15 lbs 13 oz. He's growing like a weed...

He also has decided that he likes his tummy time, and has even flipped over from his tummy to his back a couple times. He loves sitting in his Bumbo chair, which lets him sit upright - he loves sitting in front of the tv, eating his hands. Apparently, his hands are quite delicious.

He starts daycare tomorrow morning...Mom goes back to work. We are sure that he will love it - - we anticipate he will have a girlfriend by the end of the week, he's such a stud muffin!

Here are some pics of the last month...I have to apologize, we are not as diligent at taking photos as we should be....Next post there will be a video, promise!

In his Bumbo....clearly, the TV is more interesting than the toys....

In his exersaucer....he just starting using it, and he seems to like it, although..he hasn't figured out the toys on it yet...

This month we welcomed a new member to the Turza family, meet Baby Michael!! Brady and lil' Mikey are sure to cause some ruckus as they get older. Now, we just have to wait for Miss Ellie Rose (Brian's sister's soon-to-be bundle of joy) to come out and play (February 28th can't come soon enough!)

Playing on the floor on Christmas Day:

Opening presents on Christmas, he was more into the wrapping paper than any toy he opened!

OK...next post will have videos of his new found squeals/laughs.....and more Brady smiles!

Happy 2011!!!
