Snaps of Ginger: Brady Michael {1 Month}

How in the world can you blink one time and a whole month be gone?

Our lives were forever changed (again) on February 22nd. My Sweet Brady, you came into this world at 3:04 a.m. and have completely stolen our hearts! You are an absolute joy and we are so happy that God chose us to be your parents. We are SO thankful that you are a happy and healthy baby and are excited to watch you grow and experience this journey and adventure that we call life.

At the end of 1 Month we have already learned so many things about your sweet personality. You have grown SO much since your birthday and are MUCH bigger than your big brother was at this age. You were almost 2 pounds heavier and 2 inches longer at birth so you definitely had a bit of a head start.

You have gone from drinking 1.5 ounces every 3 hours to 4 ounces every 3 to 4 hours. We put rice cereal in your bottle after your 2 week checkup to help with some minor reflux issues. Mrs. Molly suggested this to slightly thicken your formula and it worked beautifully for you! Needless to say, you are an amazing eater!

You have also grown out of your Newborn diapers and are wearing a Size 1. Huggies Snugglers fit you the best as their Size 1 diapers are significantly smaller than Pampers Swaddlers in the same size.

The clothing department has proved to be a little tricky. You are definitely wearing a lot of newborn size clothes but we are able to make some 0-3 months and 3 months sizes work. The Newborn size pieces definitely fit you the best. Most of your days are spent at home so you often wear infant gowns. These are soft and snuggly and make it very easy for Mommy to change your diaper throughout the day. I LOVE that these have matching hats (and most,if not all, of your gowns are monogrammed-big surprise). The tricky part of your wardrobe comes from the fact that we have been having unseasonably warm weather. We have tried to use a lot of Levi's clothes but have struggled. Since he was born in January, his clothes (that are the size you need) are more suited for winter weather.

During your first month, we celebrated your first St. Patrick's Day. This was a fun day filled with lots of green snacks (for Levi at school) and your first trip to the ball field (the cure for a case of cabin fever). Levi was SO proud to know that the two of you were wearing matching shirts. That thrilled this Mommy's heart and I plan to continue taking advantage of it as long as I can.

Likes: Eating, snuggling, being held

Dislikes: Being left in a room by yourself, being burped (this requires you to stop eating), riding in the car (I hope you outgrow this.), being cold (especially after a bath)

You are so loved, my precious boy! Levi is the sweetest with you and melts my heart every time he rubs your head or face or gives you a huge kiss! Daddy and I love you more than you will ever know and we are so glad that you are finally here so that we can LOVE, LOVE, LOVE on you! Much Love Always!

Mommy
