Time Flies When You are Having Fun

Brady turned two weeks old on Tuesday and I can't believe how fast time is going by. He is so fun to have in our home and we love him so much. Some things we are already learning about our boy are:

  • he LOVES his hands. Besides mom and dad, they bring him the most comfort.
  • He hates to be swaddled. If he can't get his hands free then he is a sad boy.
  • He's a great eater. When we left the hospital he only weighed 5lbs 14 oz and now he is 6lbs 8 oz.
  • He loves baths - but only if he can take them with Daddy. He especially loves to have his hair washed - it puts him into a little baby coma!

I called my pharmacy the other day to get some prescriptions refilled and the tech asked how Brady and I were and I told her we were great and having so much fun. She said, "I have never heard anyone describe newborns as fun but good for you." That made me so sad - I can't thing of anything better then waking up to this baby and knowing that he is ours for eternity!! Here's some more pics!

Have you tried to swaddle him with his arms out? Both of mine loved being swaddled, but hated having their arms in. This was our perfect solution. One day when I'm at my mom's house I'll have to stop by so I can leave my little germ factories (I mean kids) with my mom for a bit.

He is so sweet, Mandi. And you are so right - how can you not be SOOO thrilled waking up every few hours knowing they are yours forever! I felt the same way - even through the stressful, sleep-deprived moments!

Brady is cool. I can't say that Elijah was "fun" for a while longer, but we loved him anyway. You guys are great parents!
