Brady is 2 months!

Just wanted to give a little update on Brady :] Today he is 2 months old! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I feel like we just brought him home yesterday. He is growing and changing so much. We go in for his 2 month appointment tomorrow and I am excited to see how much he has grown. 

He is so good at holding up his head now (well sometimes he lets it flop over when he is tired) and he loves to sit up on my lap and look around. I think he can recognize me and Jordan now and I love when he locks eyes with you and just stares! When I walk around the room he follows me with his eyes and watches me. It is so cute! He is finally getting a little hair back on his head after the initial hair loss haha. He is also getting more vocal, especially when he is laying on his back.

We are still working on a sleep schedule but for now he eats every 3 hours except for during the night, he has a 6 hour stretch from usually 10:00-4:00. He also has a long stretch in the day from around 11:00-3:00ish. He still sleeps in our room, but I think I'm going to try this week to have him sleep in his crib. I don't know how well it will go, but I am hoping he loves it!

We are the luckiest parents in the world and we love our happy boy!!

Busy with Birthdays and Brady's Blessing!

Life this past month has been crazy! We have been all over the place visiting family and everyone followed us back to Utah for Brady's baby blessing. We had so much fun with Jordan's family in Washington for the week after Christmas! We played games, watched lots of movies, and looked at Jordan's old baby pictures. It is crazy how much Brady and Jordan look alike! Jordan and I started a new Christmas tradition of buying each other a couples massage :] We enjoyed it and plan on continuing that tradition every year. After Christmas, it is birthday season for Jordan and I with his on January 2nd and mine on the 12th. We have been enjoying all the celebrations :]

 

After we got back to Utah on Friday, we got ready for Brady's blessing! Everyone pretty much just followed us back to Provo. It was so amazing to have our families with us for such a special time in our lives! For some reason, the Bishop decided to do the two baby blessings after the Sacrament. As I was about to take the water, the thought went through my head... I am totally going to drop this (as I was holding Brady). Sure enough, I dropped it and it landed on Brady's pants and splattered all over Jordan. I was mortified!!! Jordan luckily just laughed it off and it was mostly dry by the time he went up to bless Brady :] Jordan did such an amazing job on the blessing and it was such a sweet experience. We were so grateful to have our families there :]

We started school on Monday and it was nice to get back into our normal routine. Brady has been so fun lately and has been changing so much!! He is starting to hold up his head better and has been making lots of fun noises! I love to sit and "talk" with him while he is laying happily on his back. He loves to stretch and have his arms flailing to the sides while he smiles and makes oohh and ahh sounds. Today I actually got a picture of him smiling!

He has also been doing much better at tummy time! For a while at the beginning, he would just roll over the instant I put him on his belly. Now he can stand it for 5-10 minutes and he will just look around and make fun noises! 

Another fun discovery for Brady this week has been his hands. He realized that he has hands and he loves to play with them, touch them together, and suck on them! It's so cute to see how much he is growing and changing over the weeks! It's crazy to think that he is 8 weeks old already. Time goes by too quick.

This semester I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the morning and I get to spend the rest of the week playing with my boy :] My favorite time of day is when Jordan comes home from school and we all spend time together as a family. It's so cute how much Jordan loves his son and how he is such a good daddy to him :]
