Our First Few Weeks

Today Brady is two weeks old. Overall, everyone is doing well despite keeping very busy. Not only have we have been adjusting to life with a newborn while trying to continue some sense of normalcy for a three year old AND recovering from delivery, but we have also been planning a 3rd birthday party for one very excited little girl. As if we weren’t busy and sleep deprived enough, Josh, Brady and I also got hit with the flu/cold bug that has been going around! Last weekend, we successfully pulled off one perfect Princess party (thanks to all of our friends and family who helped – we could not have done it without you!). Stay tuned for some birthday pictures.

Brady is a very good little boy. He is just as laid back as Abi but contrary to her, he loves to be held and cuddled. I finally got my cuddle-bug! We took Brady to his first doctor’s appointment last week and the doctor was amazed at his weight gain – he is completely off the charts for a baby his age. Josh is hoping that this continues so his dreams of having his son play football might become a reality.

Abi is doing well too. As you can see from the pictures, she loves Brady (who she still calls “baby boy”). She is very interested in what he is doing and always tries to be a big helper. Despite being a great big sister, Abi has been quite challenging for Mom and Dad lately. Since Brady was born, she has decided that she doesn’t want to eat anything during meal times (although she is always ready for snacks or desserts!) and likes to do anything but what she is being asked to do. I guess this is to be expected.

Here are some pictures from Brady’s first few weeks…
