FINALLY

When we first put Braydon in his swing, he wanted nothing to do with it. So I figured I'd wait awhile until I tried again. Lately he has wanted to be held and rocked a lot and it's killing my back. So today on his 12 week b-day I decided to try my luck with the swing again. I put him in the swing and he didn't cry, so I stepped away and look what happened, he fell asleep. I'm so happy because now maybe this will save my back.

Pool Day

Today we decided to go to the pool, we wanted to go yesterday but it was 103 degrees and that's a little too hot to take Braydon out in. It was a little cooler today and the pool wasn't crowded at all. We thought this would be a good time to see if Braydon liked the pool or not. They have this little kid section which is in the shade and very shallow. Braydon only went in up to his waist because he wasn't really sure if he liked the pool or not. We will keep trying and I'm sure eventually he will like it, but he is only 11 weeks old so maybe when he's older.

Braydon the mini Spartan

Braydon's Nana was just here for a 10 day visit. It took him a little while to finally warm up to her, but once he did he was gone. We had a lot of fun going out to dinners and to the mall. We went to the castle in Motta and also to Taromina. When we went to Taromina when he was just a couple weeks old the altitude played havoc on him. We were very nervous this time, but he did awesome. The only time he cried was on the bus from the parking garage. We got dirty looks from these German's and i just wanted to get up and strangle them. Haven't they ever seen a child cry? I didn't get the chance though we got off the bus. I did swear at them in German though (thanks PA for my little bit of German).

We have lots of toys coming for Braydon in the next few weeks so there will be lot's of pictures. He is getting a swimming pool, activity center and books.

This picture is for Dan and Kelly. He loved this outfit, he was playing with it when I took it off him, must be the bright green color. Guess we have a mini Spartan on our hands!

2 Month Dr. Visit

Braydon had his 2 month Dr. visit today, I can't beleive it's been two months already. He weighs 14.6 lbs. and is 25 inches. He got three shots and one oral and did very good, well as good as to be expected. He did scream when he got them but calmed down quickly once we comforted him and gave him some Tylenol.

He is developing quite nicely, yesterday was his 2 month b-day and he amazed me by rolling over. We were doing our normal tummy time routine and every time I put him on his tummy he would roll over to his back.

He has settled into a routine for the most part. We wake up around 8 am and watch Sesame Street. I can't believe this show is still on, I used to watch it growing up. After that he takes a nap and then Daddy comes home for lunch. In the afternoon we do tummy time and some reading. He takes another nap and then Daddy is home. Some nights he gets a little antsy but for the most part he does good. Chris usually lets me go up to bed for a few hours before he and Braydon come up. Then Braydon gets up once in the middle of the night and eats and goes right back to bed. He is such a good little boy and he is changing every day.

House At Pooh Corner

Braydon was having his afternoon fussy time. I was trying to settle him down but nothing seemed to be working. My laptop was on and I decided to play some music for him, I'd already tried everything else. To my surprise it actually worked. He was enjoying me singing "House at Pooh Corner" to him. Whenever I stopped he would get fussy again. Guess we have a Kenny Loggins fan on our hands. Dottie will love that!

Sleepy Braydon!

Braydon woke up this morning at 9 am and pretty much stayed up all morning. We went to the store and he usually falls asleep in his car seat but not today. On the way home he started crying and it was his sleepy cry. We got home and he didn't want to nap. But after being home for half an hour and giving him a 4 ounce bottle he couldn't take it anymore.

Trying To Smile

Braydon smiled at me today!!! It just lite up my world and made his fussy behavior slip from my mind. But when I tried to recapture the smile he decided he wanted to be shy. I had to post this anyways because he is just so darn cute. I'll keep trying to get him to smile on video and in pictures.
