3 Months OLD

our little man is three months old. and we love him more and more every day.

at three months:
-he still loves his baths. he kicks and splashes. and just enjoys every minute of it. he usually cries when i have to take him out. i have a video, but it's not quite blog appropriate ... soon i will get one of him in swim trunks or something.
-our schedule in the evening goes like this. bath (for however long he allows, maximum: 30 minutes), then we put pj's on, next comes his last feeding, and finally he is ready for bed. I guess it's good that he knows his schedule ... but he ALWAYS tries to skip the "putting on pj's" stage because he knows what's next. he screams bloody murder and only a bottle will make him happy.
-he has started sleeping through the night. so we have no more night feedings. he takes a bottle around 9pm, then goes to bed ... sometimes he wakes up, but we just give him a paci and he goes back to bed. he gets up about 8am every morning.
-they say to quit swaddling at 3 months, so he is out of the swing ... and we are finally in the crib. but he does sleep on his tummy. he just won't sleep on his back.
-he wears some 0-3 month onesies, but mostly 3-6. his sleepers are all 3-6month. he has officially grown out of his first pair of shoes.

-he is sooo happy. he smiles constantly at you (although i can NEVER catch it on camera, he does smile a lot). he is a really easy baby, and i don't have one complaint about him.

PS-Our laptops power cord went out, and we just ordered a new one this past week .. so hopefully in the next week, I will be up and running on this blog again!

Papaw Neal

Bryan's PaPaw passed away on March 24th. We were able to pack up everything and drive down to Kerrville wednesday morning. When we arrived at the hospital, he was awake and alert. I was so happy Bryan got to see him like this one more time. Later that evening, his daughter said "daddy, if you see angels, it is ok to go with them." Shortly afterwards, he stopped breathing. All of his kids, grandkids and great-grandkids were able to see him that day.

Since EVERYONE was around, we took a family picture.

MaMaw, with her FIVE Kids, THIRTEEN Grandkids and FOURTEEN Great- Grandkids.

He is in a place where there is no pain.

(thank for the pics, kristi)

random pics

our power cord to our laptop is dead, so that is why i haven't been blogging lately ...
but that hasn't stopped us from taking pics.

cute naked boy.
we pulled out a bunch of his 3-6 month onesies ... and this was one of them.

he absolutely positively LOVES his baths ...
he cries when he has to get out.

yes, brady you were worth the wait.

i love this pj ... but he has officially grown out of it.
so we had to get a picture of him!

Busy Weekend

this past saturday, bryan had an all day softball tourney. we were blessed to have a beautiful day, so we were able to watch all of his games.

Bryan and Mini-Bryan ...
both in their Paul-Ann Shirts!

Marissa with Emmie and Brady ...
they got to come down and hang out, while ryan got to play.

on sunday, the girls wanted to check out the horses in our backyard. so we went down to the horse barn. as emmie would say, we got to see some "hehes"!

landry would say, "that is three beautiful princesses and one handsome prince."
you are exactly right, landry.

fun and crazy weekend!

2 Month Appointment

Monday, we took Brady to his two month appointment.

oblivious to what is fixing to go on.

at 2 months, 1 day:
-weighs 11 lbs. 15.4 ozs.
-is 22 1/4 inches long
-has a head circumference of 15 5/8 cm.

he was right in the 50th percentile for all of the above. Doc said he's perfect. :)

Brady thought having to take his clothes off, and a cold stethoscope on his chest was the worst.

Daddy soothing him before the shots.

He got THREE shots. and he let us and the entire doctor's office that he was NOT HAPPY! But as soon as we started putting his clothes back on, he quit crying. He was asleep before we put his carseat in the car.

We went ahead and gave him Tylenol ... instead of waiting for fever. He did really good. He was fussy for a little bit, but for the most part he slept almost all day. Then he was good and awake from 8-10, ate ... then slept until 6AM! Yeah!

Poor Little Legs!
For Momma's Sake, I hope he is always this good!

i absolutely positively hate cutting his fingers nails. although it helps when he is a perfect angel. he was just content and still as can be.

a little more celebrating

brady's pappy and lala took celebrating to the next level.

they dipped his paci in the bottom of the ice cream bowl.


i am not sure if he liked it or not.

some wait until one year for this kind of celebrating ... apparently two months is long enough!
