Brady: 1 Week
Where has the time gone!? This time last week we were experiencing a full on adrenaline rush like no other. These were the first few hours with our baby boy. I am still working on Brady's birth story and will post soon. I want to remember and perfectly describe every detail. (... well maybe not EVERY detail, but you mamas know what I mean.)
Brady has done so well at home and has really made this huge life change pretty easy on Brian and me. We are in what I call "survival mode" right now. There is no set schedule/routine right now. We are taking the first few weeks to get to know Brady's needs, as well as letting him get to know us. The pattern seems to be eat/change diapers, read a book or swing, and then back to bed for a few hours until I wake him to make him do it all over again.
Weight: 7 lb. 7oz.
Height: 20.5
Likes:
Laying on daddy's chest
Getting his hair washed/massaged
SLEEPING A LOT (on his tummy seems to be his favorite)
Watching mama read to him
His Wubbanub
The swing, but only if the mobile is moving
Dislikes:
Being moved
Having his photo taken (that comes from his daddy)
Diaper changes
4th of July
Brady's first holiday was full of fun. We spent the first part of the day making one of our new favorite festive desserts, white chocolate dipped strawberries with blue sprinkles. Early afternoon led us to Brian's parents' house for a cook-out. We were able to spend some quality time with Brian's sisters, Lisa and Kristen, as well as our brother in-law, Bob.
Brady spent most of the day sleeping. Later that evening we hit Lake Wylie, which was absolute madness. Despite the insane parking we were able to find a spot and then watch fireworks. Brady was not amused by all of the sparkly noises. He slept through the entire thing. I am interested to see how he does next year. After the show Brian and I took Brady for his very first trip to our favorite coffee shop, Bagel Boat, for ice cream. I would definitely call his very first holiday a huge success!
Happy Independence Day and a huge thank to all the service men and women who serve us and our country.
