getting back to normal

I think the teeth have broke thru, and we are all on the tail end of our colds. Brady is much more content in the last 24 hours. :-)

teething

The last 4 days have been hard! for Chris, myself and brayden. He is slowly cutting 2 teeth with a cold! I have a cold too! Chris says he is getting on too (must feel left out? LOL)

I think this teething has been the hardest stage yet. I have to ponder that a bit.... but it just might be.

I took the leap!

well, was forced to anyway. I have been working on cutting out my ~pump at work on my lunch~ session. Brady really only drinks about 8oz of milk while I am work- so once my freezer stash is gone, he will get formula. Today I had to cover work alone, so I could not take a private lunch. This day was going to happen within a week or so, but the decision was made for me today.

I do feel like I am missing that part of Brady at work, but then kind of happy to have mobility while I am on lunch.

Not sure when we will wean any further. With him still waking once a night or more (like lately while teething!) nursing is SO easy. And I love our special snuggle time when we sing lullibyes and relax at the end of the day. We are not ready to give those times up just yet.

the padded room

Chris has been having a good time joking with me about "the padded room". Late last week I had a few days where I was laughing at absolutly nothing and thought I might need a mental evaluation. So then he started up with locking me in a padded room. Nice husband!

Exciting news! My co-worker Jen had her baby this morning! A girl! 2 weeks early. Yay! I am so excited for her and cant wait to meet Erin! (Jen is a frequent blog reader of mine, she needs a blog too now!)

TOOTH!

Finally there is a toother poking thru! He will be 8 months old in a couple days. Brady really isnt a baby in my mind anymore. He is a professional crawler, pulls to standing (and no longer falls down to sitting, it is controlled), he likes to eat by himself (unless he is starvin marvin), and now some teeth!

It melts daddy's heart when Brady uses his fingers to flap his lips when he makes noises- so hard to describ, but is is so cute! My little multi-tasker! Standing up with one hand, making a noise, and smacking his lips with his other hand. I think it is cute, but daddy thinks it's the best thing in the world. The thing that still gets me, is his beatiful sleeping face. Esp. when he makes sucking motions with his lips and nothing is in there.

Seriously, we have the most perfect little boy in the world. If he slept the night he would be 100% perfect. But I am content with this extremely happy, curious, and beautiful baby boy. Chris and I were chatting last night, wondering if other parents have this same thought? We cant even imagine that baby #2, or #3 could ever measure up to Brady. And do you have the room in your heart to love #2 or #3 like you do #1?

I am home sick today. I had a ruined weekend off because my mastitis is back. Thinking I never really got rid of it from just a couple weeks ago. Brady is at daycare so I can rest. Daddy is at work too, so I can rest! Daddy is the worst of the 2 of them. I can at least put brady in his jumper while I lay down.

battle wounds

Brady got bit at daycare for the first time! By his friend Carter. I guess Brady took the toy he wanted. He has a bite shaped mark on his right arm. I am sure this wont be the last!

hate it....

the first thing I hate is that I am working and Chris is shopping for a new washer and dryer....

the second thing I hate is the amt of $$$$ that we are going to end up spending to wash our clothes.
