Weekend Update

It's hard to believe that fall is almost here; the weather we've been having is a great indicator that it's coming sooner rather than later! Of course fall brings MLB playoffs and the World Series...something the Hubbies are looking forward to as the Cubbies are looking better than ever! But I'm not sure I'm ready to be cooped up in a snowstorm just yet, so I hope summer holds out a bit longer.

We've been enjoying our time with our little man. He's such a joy - and generally an easy baby. He has his fussy moments but we can usually calm him down by picking him up - he loves to be held! He only cries when his diaper is being changed or when he's hungry. Oh, and when he is given a bath! Sometimes he gets mad when his dad insists on kissing him a zillion times with that stubble on his face. Mommy can relate. He's also been a great sleeper - we can usually get him down between 10 and 11 PM and then he will sleep until 2 or 3 AM and again until 5 or 6 AM. Jason has been taking the morning feeding which is a huge blessing!

We are still amazed at how much he poops. We are pretty sure he would win the gold if pooping was an Olympic sport.

Tomorrow is my first day back to "work"...I put that in quotations because I don't have to leave the house (yay for working from home!) and I'm only on light hours for the next two weeks. We will probably make a trip to the Haven of Rest this week to visit all of Brady's adoring fans.

Here's some more pics...as if you haven't seen enough...but the grandparents demand pictures!

Talking back to Mom...I'm telling her she has really bad hair and needs to get her roots done.
I like to help hold my bottle.
I still really love my lovey...here I am making out with it.
Life is GOOD!
Mommy says I'm getting fat. She calls me Chubby Hubbie.
See...I really hate my bath!
Trying out my bumbo!

What a cutie! Zach just wanted to tell Brady "thanks" for letting him borrow the Bumbo while we visited.

I really love the picture of Brady in the Bumbo! It's adorable.

No fear about fall coming too soon. The kids go back to school on Aug. 26 and in the past our first couple of weeks are TOO hot.

That was a short maternity leave!!!

The Bumbo picture is too funny! Brady is such a sweetie. How much does he weigh now?

By the time Brady is ready for the olympics, his "pooping" won't be the gold medal color. HA

Oh, what cute pictures! He looks absolutely adorable in his white onesie and the one of him in the bumbo.
I read the "Good Night, Sleep Tight" book, too. It was SO helpful! Isn't it funny how our lives totally change when a baby comes, so now all we talk about, read about, blog about, etc. is related to child rearing? =)
