Blanket Hazard

Although we don't let Brady use a blanket at night, we do let him nap with a blanket. He loves it. So much that he immediately grabs it and covers his face with it. When we get him after a nap, something like this is what we typically see.

And the Animals

Although this appears to be a cry for attention, Hayley has been hanging out in the dryer long before Brady came along.



And here's a rare picture of Olive since she seems afraid of our camera.

Trying out the Highchair

Although we aren't actually giving Brady any food yet, we did set up his highchair and are starting to put him in it so he can get used to it. Today, he sat down with us for breakfast. He seemed to like it, though he seems super tiny in it.






Shout Out to Katie

Thanks Cousin Katie for the Wooster onesie!



Happy St. Patrick's Day

We took pictures before we left for day care on Wednesday, because with Brady, I never know whether he will be wearing the same thing when I pick him up. Alas, St. Patrick's day was the only day that he had an outfit change this week so taking these pictures before we left was wise.




As for the crazy eyes, our camera has a red light to help get rid of the red eye. Brady does nothing else but stare at that light with huge eyes whenever I take his picture.




Let's Go Irish

Brady was all dressed up for the NCAA tournament. It didn't quite work out for the Irish... At least he will get used to that at a young age.


Sleeping...

Brady loves to sleep on his side. How does he get that way? Well, he lifts his legs at a 90 degree angle, curls up like an egg, and turns onto his side. It's hilarious to watch.

Super Brady

4 Months Old!!

Staring at the bright red light on the camera.

Smiles for mommy first thing in the morning.


Stretching out my legs! Look at those feet!

I love to stare at my feet. I can't wait until I figure out how to stuff them in my mouth.

Mommy made a sign saying I was 4 months old today, but then she accidentally cut it out of the picture.

Big smiles for daddy.


I love hanging out with daddy!

Working on sitting up on my own.

And I have tipped over.

Me and my doggy. I love to stick his feet in my mouth. Thanks for the gift Aunt Heather!

Brady is also starting to look at the animals more.



Some more tummy time


And finally, not to be left out, a picture of Hayley.


Brady is four months old today. So much has changed since last month. Brady started day care, and of course got his first cold. We are finally over that, but he gave it to mommy. We are also starting to get in a bit of a routine with day care so that's getting better. Brady loves to jibber jabber now! And he has started to roll onto his side like it's his job. He does it whenever he's on his back, and that includes when he goes to bed. Which has made for a couple of long weeks of sleepless nights. It's clear that Brady wants to sleep on his side, but his shoulder gets in the way. Then he wakes up angry. Then we have to help him get back to sleep. It's a vicious cycle, but it appears to finally be ending (fingers crossed). He is also super close to rolling from his back to his belly - right now he gets about 75% there, then gives up and ends up on his back. Brady is such a big boy now that he no longer sleeps swaddled at all. And that makes for funny times when he wakes up either from a nap or in the middle of the night because there are many times when he is in a completely different spot from the one we left him in when we put him down in his crib. Sometimes he's vertical, sometimes he's sideways and sometimes he's done a complete 180. Brady had his four month check up and he is doing great. He now weights 12 lbs., 12 oz and is 25 inches long. And if I'm being honest, even though I've had more sleepless nights than I can count and am thoroughly exhausted most days, the time has flown by and I cannot believe he's already 4 months old.

Getting Ready for Day Care

I like to dazzle all the girls (and my teachers) with my adorable outfits! But mommy and daddy have to take a picture of me in all my cuteness before I leave for day care because there's a 50/50 chance that I will either poop or spit up in my outfit, requiring a change of clothes before I get home for the day.


And of course, you can see Hayley cat getting in on the action in the background.
