a little vacation part 2

a little vacation

This past week I took the kids over to Selah to Pat's aunt's house while Pat was coaching a tournament.  Pat's mom and stepdad were there with us and we had a blast.  The kids played in the pool for hours!  My kids like the water and feel very comfortable with their life jackets.  They took 4 weeks of swim lessons this summer but they do not want to learn to swim because they are afraid to go under water.  So I am not going to push it.  We had so much fun playing in the pool in the hot weather for four days.  Brady was perfect, he took long naps and chilled in the shade. 

Brady 3 months

My little Brady Boo is three months old.  He has started to sleep almost through the night, waking up once.  Sometimes he will sleep 7-9hours before waking up, what a difference a month makes.  He has been trying really hard to suck his thumb and grab his little toys.  His reflux is much better, he is not spitting up out of his nose any more when we lay him down.  Brady loves his brother and sister so much, they can make him smile all the time.  He wears a size 3 diaper and 6-9month clothes, he is our big boy!

finally caught on camera: smiles

2 months

Brady is two months old!  (The pics are from June 30th but I am just getting around to posting).  At this time he weighs 14lbs 15oz (97th), 24 5/8 inches long (90th) and head size is 42.1 cm (90th).  Brady wears clothes in the 3-9month range and is almost out of a size 2 diaper.  Luckily I have been stocking up on size 3 and 4 diapers because he will be in them very soon.  He still wakes up every three hours at night and sleeps mostly in the swing.  He is easy going and loves being in the car, stroller rides, taking baths and being entertained by Ty and Tatum.    

feeding the baby

When Ty and Tatum were babies it was hard leaving when I had to go and coach because they wouldn't take a bottle.  They would cry a lot and then they would eventually fall asleep but they would NEVER take a bottle for Pat.  It is so much easier on me (mentally) knowing that Brady will take a bottle even though this week he struggled taking a bottle.  With the other two, I worried how hungry they were and had to rush home and the first thing I would have to do was feed the baby.  I got home from practice and Pat was letting Ty feed Brady, Ty was so proud that he was the one feeding his brother.  And of course, "Monkey see, Monkey Do," Tatum had to feed Brady too!

4th of July

We had a great day on the 4th of July with family and friends.  We started off enjoying the town parade with my sister and her kids.  Then we went over to the Johnston's for a great afternoon/evening of good food, drinks and company.
