I can't stay awake

So I guess rice cereal really is like Thanksgiving dinner to babies. Here is Brady after his cereal this afternoon. He couldn't help it I guess.




And lastly, a video of him falling to sleep. I am the one giggling in the background. I couldn't help it.

4 Month Dr. Appoinment

Brady had his 4 month check up today. His doctor said he looked great and is growing well and doing all of the right tricks. You can see his weight below and he was 26" long. He only cried for a quick second and I didn't throw up from nerves, so all was well.

Just chewing his hands waiting for his turn.

His bandaids fell off, so no battle wound pics. Here he is showing his sticker that he got for being a brave boy.

Giggles

I finally caught Brady's newest trick on camera. Here is a quick video of him giggling. He is too funny. Silly Zoe is hopefully not too loud in the background. It seems she is always hanging around. Enjoy!!

Brady's First Meal

Brady turned 4 months so we tried some cereal for the first time . It didn't go as well as I expected, and I freaked out because I thought his tongue was swelling. Apparently I am crazy because it was not. Here are some pics and videos of him with his first and second try with cereal.

Here he is all clean and ready:



He opened his mouth for the spoon, but after that he wasn't so sure what to do.

Hmmm... not sure what this stuff is?

Mealtime is over people!!! Quit taking my picture and clean me up.


Here is a video of Brady eating cereal for the first time:



Pics from his second attempt at cereal. Much more success!! Hooray for my big boy!!

There was absolutely no mess at all.... yeah right! He kept putting his hand in his mouth and his sleeve in the spoon. It is still cute at this point but I think he will be eating in his birthday suit from now on. HAHA.


All done, and quite proud of himself.


And a video of the second try:

Moe's #6 and #7

This weekend Brady made it to two new Moe's. This one is in Albany NY.

This Moe's is in Shrewsbury MA. We loves Moe's and we also know that this obsession with Moe's is pretty lame.

4 months old

Here is our big boy on his 4 month birthday. We had a good day, lunch with dad, haircut with mom, and sleeping in. I seriously can't believe how big he is getting.


Don't worry, he really liked this. He came up smiling.

It is getting hard to keep him sitting anymore, much more difficult than last month.




And here is the big boy feeding himself lunch while I packed us to leave. He kept pulling it out and jabbing it in his eye. He is so funny.

Then and Now

Here is Brady in the same spot on the couch. The first one is when he was about 5 weeks old.

This one was today. Wow, what a difference. He is getting so big.

What a flirt!!
Brady seriously loves this thing. Look at that drool. His shirt was soaked when it was time to get out.

Brady's office meeting

Brady went into the office for a business meeting today. He was an integral part of the meeting and had great input. Just kidding. We went for our Wednesday lunch date with Daddy and stopped into the office for a quick minute. Here is Brady sitting up like a big boy at the desk.

He was trying to tell his dad how to do his job more efficiently, but Jim was busy on the phone.

Just a quick vomit puddle on the desk, that's not a problem, right?


Here is Brady tonight at dinner. He managed to suck his thumb and pick his nose at the same time.

And here is a video Jim took at dinner. He is a dope sometimes.

Lake Winnipesaukee

Today Brady and I hitched a ride with Jim up north for a visit to Lake Winnipesaukee. It is a huge lake and we hadn't been there yet so we were so excited. Mother Nature is a b@#ch and it was a crappy day, rainy, cloudy, and cold. Oh well. We ran in between the raindrops to take a quick picture. It eventually lightened up and we were able to walk around a bit, but otherwise it was a bust.



And here is proof that it is time to start using the belt in the swing. I was making dinner and I looked over and his legs are dangling over the end. Better hanging over the edge than laying on the floor. He has started thrusting his hips and arching his back, he does it all the time, in the swing, while you are holding him, while he is getting dressed. Not the funnest trick he has learned....luckily he is the world's cutest baby!!

Hanging out at home

We hung out in our jammies today and I was able to take a few pictures. He was in a great mood today and laughed and talked all day long.

Here he is feeding himself. I forgot to wash bottles until it was too late and had to use this bottle. He insisted on holding it himself and was getting so pissed because he kept pulling it out of his mouth. It was very funny.

Somehow I was able to take a picture of the 3 of them and they didn't lick the baby. I am so glad they are good with him, I was worried they wouldn't be. Zoe is still crazy about him and is getting better about not licking him at every opportunity. Maddux could still care less about him.
I am not sure what they were looking at here. My guess is the TV.

Zoe got very close to Brady and he must have liked the way it felt on his face because he kept trying to rub his face on her. It was the cutest thing. She just wanted to lay down and couldn't be bothered.

He is starting to like the Bumbo more and more. He still only sits in it for a few minutes, but naptime was approaching and he was starting to nod off.
