Leavenworth, WA

We made our first trip with baby Brady. We went to Leavenworth for 2 nights. Erik and I decided it was either going to be brilliant or a train wreck. Brady did amazingly well. We stopped at North Bend for lunch coming and going, fed him there, and he slept the rest of the trips. He was amazing during our meals, slept rather well, and was a good little traveling buddy. Cam didn't get as much sleep as he probably would have liked, but he was super helpful as always. We hit Snoqualmie Falls on the way home; Cameron had never been, and I figured since we were so close we should do it. Erik and I have both been there before, but it is still amazing to see again. Brady slept through it...not like he would be able to see anyway. :)

Baby Brady

Not so happy modeling his alligator robe

Hanging out with Grammy at his second M's game!

Looking more and more like a little man every day!

Happy boy!

Seems like every time I try to upload pictures and post them Brady know it and cries. So here are a few pictures from this week. He is doing very well and gave me 6 hours straight sleep last night!! Yey! Then two more, then Erik took him downstairs and I got two more!! 10 total - that's crazy! Not sure if I said he's in his crib these days, but he is. He didn't have any issues adjusting, so that was awesome!

2 Month Dr. Appointment

Brady went to the doctor yesterday. He is a whopping 13.3 lbs. (90th percentile) and 25 in. (95th percentile) long! She was pleased with his growth and impressed with how good he was with shots. I was worried about Erik giving him too much milk at feedings but she said he could have even a half an ounce to an ounce more than what he's been getting. Although he is getting really heavy and growing out of diapers quickly, I would not want it any other way! He is healthy and happy!

First Day of Work

Well we all survived my first day back. The pumping went well, Brady and Daddy did great, and now we'll get ready to do it again tomorrow. :) Erik works 12 hours tonight and then gets our lovely boy. Hopefully Brady will go easy on him and let him get some rest before I come home. He sleeps pretty much until noonish, so that will be good for Erik. Time for a bath, but here are few cute pictures from the past few days. They are from my cell phone so they aren't THAT great...but still mighty cute I must say!

Going back to work :(

Tomorrow is the big day. I'm excited to get out of the house and do what I enjoy, but I'm having a hard time thinking about being away from Brady for so long. He's been with me for the last 11 months if you think about it and now I'm supposed to go 8 hours a day!?!?! Luckily I've worked my schedule so that I have shortened work weeks for the next two months. I've taken most Thursdays off (I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off) to spend time with Erik, Cam, and Brady. So this first week I only work Sat-Mon and get 3 days off. My boss has me in Intake - I'm not as tied down if I were in a control post or in a pod with the kids. Intake is my favorite, and it should allow me to pump more easily. So we'll see. I think my biggest fear is not getting enough breastmilk from pumping. Brady doesn't skip a meal - if you know what I mean!! He's getting SO big. We are in 3-6 month clothes already (just barely 2 months old!). He's got the cutest chubby legs! Here are a few cute pictures:
