My Precious Brady,
You are such a happy baby and are more than willing to give out smiles! You smile when you are talked to, when you are looking at your toys, and especially when Levi is talking to you and smothering you with love and kisses. There are also many times that we can simply look at you and your whole face just lights up! The dimples that appear in your cheeks with each smile are just precious and I cannot get enough!
You are still an excellent eater. You are taking 5 ounces of Similac Sensitive Non-GMO Formula every 3 to 4 hours. At night, we can typically wait 5 to 6 hours between feedings. This is great...a few extra winks of sleep are always appreciated!
You are wearing a Size 1 diaper and have done well with Huggies and Pampers. We still have not bought a single diaper for you and we are so very thankful for that! Your clothes are usually 0-3 months or 3 months. We are making great use of some of Levi's clothes and I LOVE seeing you wear some of the same things that he wore. It is the sweetest! Most, if not all, of your Newborn clothes are too small (again...bittersweet).
This month you have discovered your sweet little hands. You like to put them in your mouth and you often try to figure out a way to suck your thumb. Your tiny hands that are plumped with sugar are SO precious and delicious that I don't blame you for tasting them regularly.
Weight: 13 pounds 10 ounces (80%)
Height: 24 inches (90%)
Likes: playing on your play mat, swinging (for short amounts of time), being held, watching Levi, being outside, taking a bath, looking at the firetruck on your wall, eating, snuggling, holding onto the shirt of whomever is holding you (SO sweet!)
Dislikes: being left in a room by yourself, being hungry, having a poopy diaper
Nicknames: Brady Bug, Chicken Little, Mr. Cheekers, Cheeks McGee
A Few Firsts:
3/23/16: You took your first bath in the big bath tub. We used the mesh seat from the baby tub in the regular tub. You loved it and so did we. Bath time was a million times easier!
3/24/16: You smiled me when I talked to you. Heart Melted!
3/25/16: You smiled at Daddy when he talked to you.
3/27/16: You celebrated your first Easter with lots of family, egg hunts, and love! The Easter Bunny left a few treats for you as well.
3/29/16: You shed your very first tear. It was SO sad but sweet at the same time.
3/31/16: You and Levi took your first bath together. Mommy and Daddy were a bit nervous but were pleasantly surprised. You absolutely loved it and Levi was extremely gentle and made no huge splashes. The two of you take baths together regularly now. It is the sweetest!
3/30/16: We went to the Cherry Blossom Festival at Central City Park. Levi had a great time riding all the rides and you enjoyed riding in your stroller outside.
4/2/16: You went with us to the Cherry Blossom Festival Arts and Crafts Show. You enjoyed being outside even though it was a bit windy.
4/3/16: We had a picnic at Party on the Green. You enjoyed spending time outside and did great with the fireworks!
4/20/16: Slept through the night (Praise the Lord!)
4/22/16: 2 Month Doctor's Appointment
You had your first round of shots since you left the hospital. It was SO sad! You cried (held your breath) until the last shot was over. Shortly after the last shot, you stopped crying and slept for most of the day. You were not interested in eating...just snuggling and sleeping!
You are such a blessing to our family, little one. Mommy, Daddy, and Levi thank God for you every day. You and Levi are amazing gifts from God and Daddy and I are ever grateful that we were chosen to be your parents. We pray that both of you grow into strong and healthy boys that know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Much Love Always!
Mommy
One of your favorite things to do-look at the firetruck on your wall.
Matching Jammies!
Oh, that lip...!
...and she loved a little boy very, very much-
even more than she loved herself.
