Sweet Mornings

Brady's first home videos.

He is such a sweet, happy boy in the mornings. I try to put him in his crib and let him stretch out in the mornings while he listens to the mobile that Mimi got him. Here is a peek into our mornings after we cuddle in bed for awhile...excuse my high pitched voice ;)

Oh I just love when he makes his little coo sound...so sweet!

Smocked & Oxfords

Beware...overload of cuteness & pictures

Tonight we went to dinner for my MIL's birthday and it was the perfect opportunity to dress up!

So I dressed Brady in a smocked outfit and his adorable oxford shoes that Mimi got him. I even managed to take a shower, get myself dressed, and Brady feed, bathed, & dressed all by myself - and all on time! Pretty proud of myself since AB is normally around to help me get him/us ready. He went back to work this week & we sure do miss him during the day!

Brady did so good during dinner. He slept for the first hour of dinner then it was time for him to eat. Afterwards, we "passed the package" while we ate dessert.

Happy Birthday Nanna!

Yes, I am completely biased but I think he is the most adorable baby boy in the south! :)

Pure Love

Gig Em Aggies!

Brady's first Aggie game!  We watched it from the comfort on the couch but we made sure we yelled "gig em aggies!" or "fight em aggies!"

Whoop for a fightin' Texas Aggie bowl game win! 

Dr appointments & lunch

Last Friday (12/23) Brady had his first doctor appointment. It was a relatively painless appointment other than the fact that we forgot the diaper bag (yeah, parents of the year!) and that when we got there they told us our appointment was the day before...never a dull moment! Our pediatrician sees babies at 2 locations and there was a mix-up with our appointment but thankfully they were kind of enough to go ahead & see us.

His check-up went great...he gained weight (weighed in at 7lbs 5 oz) and everything else checked out great.

Here is our sweet boy ("our bear cub" as Daddy likes to say) on the way to the Dr.

Today we had another follow-up for the newborn screening or PKU. Momma did NOT like the PKU part, I had to try my hardest to hold back tears. Thankfully Daddy was there to help :)

Brady is a growing boy...he is now up to 7lbs 14oz & everything else looked great according to Dr.

We are so thankful for a healthy baby boy!

After our appointment, we decided to have our first lunch out. Mom meet us at Hu-Dat Noodle House. Brady did so good - he slept the entire time even with ALL the noise!

What a sweet, sweet baby boy we have! :)

Merry Christmas!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

What we've been up too...

I have been doing lots of nursing and napping. We are sleeping much better now that mommy's milk has come in.

sleeping & snuggling with Daddy

and with Coco. Coco loves her new baby brother!

Yesterday (12/21) I tried out the swing for the first time & loved it.

We also had our first family outing today. We went to a gift shop in Sinton to get a few last minute Christmas gifts then we stopped at Dairy Queen to get a cold drink.

Here I am being a good boy waiting in the car while Mimi & mommy shop.

Tomorrow, we go for his first pediatrician check-up so I'll be back with a blog all about that.

Today, I (mommy) actually got dressed, put on make-up, did my hair, & put on normal clothes. I've been in pj's since I got home. I felt like a whole new person. I am feeling better each & every day and getting around gets easier, as well. I am trying to enjoy & soak up each & every moment because I know before I look up, he will be 6 months old & I am NOT ready for that, ha!

Brady is here!!!!

Friday morning, December 16th at 5:00am I checked into the hospital to be induced.

At 11:50pm that night, Brady Allen finally arrived via c-section. It was a very tiring and trying day. I am just so thankful that God was definitely watching over Brady and myself that day.

We finally were able to come home Monday afternoon. We are absolutely in love and couldn't be more blessed.

I will write his birth story at a later date for now I'm going to go snuggle with my precious baby boy.
