Rainy Monday

We were able to accomplish the majority of our landscaping project last week. Thankfully Brady was able to hang out with his Grandma Householder while we were working. The rain we have gotten the past two days has been a welcomed blessing to the new bushes. Before and after pictures will be in a later post.

And if you're interested, Breastfeeding 1-2-3 is having a wrap/sling/carrier giveaway.

Brady Stats: 4.0

Four month check up was this morning. It went well and nursing while he is getting his shots really helps to keep him calm.

Here is the new stats for our Big Guy:

Weight-16lbs. 6oz. 90th precentile

Length-25.5 in. 75th precentile

Head- 16.5 in. 50th precentile

We have been given the green light to experiment with cereal and babyfoods. Also to start using an exersaucer or jumper.

Just like last time, we were warned that he may be very fussy today. But he seems to lean toward being more sleepy than fussy after shots.

Happy Easter!

Brady really enjoyed his first Easter. He got quite a few cards in the mail, a couple packages and of course the Easter Bunny left him a basket with surprises.


The hat is a little big.

We've reached the "If I can get it, it goes in my mouth" stage.

We will be going to the dr. on Tues for the 4 Month Well-Baby Check Up. Stay tuned for an update of Bradys' Stats.

And in Other News

A few weeks ago we bought a new car. We are now the proud owners of an 2009 Honda Odyssey. Everyone seems to enjoy it. Of course, Coda did yak the first time he rode in it. Thankfully I have gotten really good at catching it in a bag! He was able to hold it down for his second ride and even seemed to enjoy sitting in the "front" : )

For A Change of Pace

After Brady was born the content of the blog has changed a bit. Maybe the blog needs a new name...maybe "Life with Brady" : ) Our intention wasn't for the blog to turn into everything baby and parenting, but life with Brady is the most exciting thing going on in our lives. However, I did seem something in the yard on Tuesday that made me very very happy

The first bloom of the year!! It's a crocus! I planted a bunch of them last fall and am so excited to see this one!! Unfortunately, this is the only one that has sprouted and bloomed. I think I may have planted the others too deep....

The butterfly garden in the back yard is starting to show signs of life also. Spring time makes me happy : )
