It's almost midnight and I'm laying in bed trying to figure out how to use this blogger app. I can't sleep. Tonight I decided to put my baby in his crib in his own room to fall asleep. I didn't think he would last long in there by himself. Turns out he seems to really like his crib and hasn't slept this soundly for a while. I can't bring myself to move him and risk waking him but I also can't seem to sleep. I don't have a monitor and I'm really afraid I won't hear him when he wakes up! It's bitter sweet.
Brady is starting to really grow. I think he is going through a growth spurt because he wants to eat every hour or two all day. And once we finish this pack of newborn diapers he will be graduating to size one! That's probably something only a new mother appreciates and gets excited about. He is 6 weeks and seems to love music. He also loves a nice warm bath! I can alway count on that to calm him down when he is screaming at the end of a long day. He's such a sweetheart!

Being a cutie pie!

All happy after a warm bath for bedtime!

One Month

Today this little guy is one month old! Crazy how quickly time flies now that he is here. This past month has been full of decisions and changes. Just after Brady was born Cody had taken time off work to be home with me and the baby. While on vacation he got a call from a well established company offering him a job. The next few weeks were spent doing interviews, calculations and trying to decide if it was the best option for him and for our family. A week and a half ago he gave notice at his old job and will be starting his new position in a couple days. We are both really excited about this opportunity. The company he will be working for has offered to put Cody through school so in a couple years he will have his parts certificate which is a trade that he can use anywhere. He also will be working monday-friday and will be home around 7 every night which is a huge upgrade from his last job. He won't be working nights anymore, which is probably my favourite thing, and although it will be a bit less money for a couple years until he finishes school, it will definitely pay off in the end. I am very proud of him and excited to have him home every night and weekends too!

Also during this past month we were able to have both Cody's and my parents come to visit and meet Brady! Cody's mom and sister came first about a week after he was born. They only stayed for a short visit but we were able to have a bbq and a good visit. My parents came up last weekend. Here they are cuddling Brady

 It was so nice to have them here. Unfortunately Cody had to work during their visit but they were so helpful and I was sad to see them go.

Brady has grown a ton in the past month now weighing somewhere around 7lbs 10 oz and is finally starting to fit his newborn clothes! We sure love him to pieces (even though it's 1 AM and he is still wide awake....)!

One of his many favourite faces

Taking a Sunday afternoon nap

He likes to open his eyes real wide

Sometimes he reminds me of Fievel from An American Tale: Fievel Goes West.
He also looks like his cousin Spencer sometimes I think.

Relaxing with daddy

Yay! One month!
