Changing Everyday

Its amazing how much Brody changes everyday! its like he just wakes up and decides that today he is going to try something new:) Today he all of a sudden decided to start actually playing with toys instead of just looking at them for their bright colors! he laid on his little playmat underneath his toys and starting hitting them and grabbing at them. It was so funny to see how much he had to concentrate to open up his hand and hold onto a toy! i could tell he was really proud of himself! He also starting rolling over on his side. He hasnt figured out how to roll over on his tummy yet, but im sure its only a matter of time!

Tummy Time

Brody is finally enjoying being on his tummy and looking around from a new perspective:) I make him have a little bit of tummy time everyday, but he usually gets so frusterated. Today he actually enjoyed it...you can tell by the adorable smile in the pictures!

First Day Back to Work

So yesterday was my first day back at work after 11 wonderful weeks off with Brody. I definitely didnt know how much i would miss him! i worked a 12 hour day yesterday...so this was definitely the longest i have been without him. I am so glad that my job is very busy..i dont know what i would do if i was just sitting around at a desk all day. I think it would be much harder! i dont have time to think about anything else at work really. when i got home, i held brody for about 4 hours straight! im definitely going to miss him alot when im at work, but i am SO thankful that my mom is taking care of him! theres no way i could leave him with a stranger....i know with my mom that he is in the best hands besides mine. I am also so thankful for the time we have been living with mom and dad. Mom knows brody almost as well as i do because hes been in her house since the day he came home from the hospital. she knows what is normal for him and what is not...it makes me feel 100% confident that he wont need anything while im away from him!

2 month checkup

Today we finally made it in for his 2 month checkup. He was supposed to have it 2 weeks ago, but he was in the hospital with RSV on the day that he turned 2 months old. The pediatrician wanted us to wait until he was completely well before he had his vaccines. Today he had his vaccines done...poor baby. He was also weighed and measured. He weighed in at a wopping 14 lbs 9 oz. making him in the 90 percentile for weight. and he measured 25 inches long making him in the 97 percentile for heighth! His head measured 44 cm (70 percentile). So all that means is hes a big boy:) Thankfully his height and weight are proportionate :)

Sleeping Through the Night!!

we are on night #5 of sleeping through the night! WOO HOOO!! now, by sleeping through the night, i mean...still getting up a few times to put the paci back in his mouth:) but believe me getting to be in my bed for 8 straight hours without getting up to feed the little man is wonderful!! hes even been sleeping in his crib for the past few nights too! im trying to get ready for him sleeping in his own room which is a little farther away in our new house:) pray that he keeps it up!! im going back to work on tuesday...so hopefully he will be nice to mommy and let her get some sleep since im going to be working along with being a full time mommy:)
