2 Months Old

Can you believe it...Braeden is 2 months old.  Although, I cannot say he had a good day.  We went to the doctor today for his first big round of vaccinations.  Poor little guy.  Poor mommy.  I had to make myself laugh to keep myself from crying with him.  I just kept thinking..."better for him to be in pain now than get diptheria, pertussis or whatever else they vaccinated him for."  Overall, it was a good visit.  Braeden weighed 10 lbs 14 oz.  Which puts him in the 30th percentile.  Last time he was only in the 5th.  Our little guy is making a come back.  Dr. Hull was impressed and says that he is developing very well.  Braeden took his shots as well as could be expected.  Although, once we got home and he woke up he was definitely NOT feeling well.  It is the most awful feeling knowing that your child is in pain and there is nothing you can do about it. 

Around 10:00 pm, he started feeling better and did really well in his play yard!  He was fascinated for a good 20 minutes!  Happy Birthday Braeden.  Mommy and Daddy love you!

Baby's First Christmas!

Well...Christmas was a blast.  Braeden was loved by all.  He was very busy visiting with all his family members.  

We spent Christmas eve with Joe's family in Forney.  Silly mommy forgot to pull out the camera, but did manage to get my cute outfit.  Mommy's Little Joy...so cute!

  

Christmas morning Bebe, Papa John and Uncle Jagen came over to open presents.  Granny and PaPa came over too.  Braeden got a fun play yard from Bebe and Papa John.  He really likes it.  Mommy even got a special gift from Daddy.  A necklace from Tiffany's!

Later that morning Papa John made his famous "Big Breakfast" which was delicious.  Braeden and Papa John had some good bonding time as our food settled.  Look close...Braeden is smiling!

Then we went to Bebe's for mexican food and bouncing!  Braeden had so much fun with Bebe.

Friday morning we got up early and went to Lake Coleman to visit Grandma and Grandpa Chaney.  They were so excited to meet Braeden.

      

      

We had so much fun.  Poor Braeden was so tired by the time we got back he actually slept in his crib!

6 weeks old!

Today Braeden turned 6 weeks old, and he is as cute as ever.  For 4 nights in a row he went down easy and slept in his sleeper, which is much better than sleeping right next to mommy.  Although, lately he has been wide awake and really fussy starting at about 11:oo pm and lasts until around 3:oo am.  We even tried the 2 am car ride which only calmed him down for about 15 minutes.  I guess we are officially going thru cholic.  However, tonight we found something that actually works and calms Braeden down.

Good ol' Dad to the rescue!

Give Thanks for Family

Well, Braeden's first Thanksgiving was amazing.  He got lots of attention from the entire family.  I found myself playing referee to those fighting over who gets to hold him next.  If I weren't breastfeeding I may not have even gotten to hold my own son the entire day.  Poor Joe only got to hold him that morning before we left the house.   I think the most excited to hold him was uncle Jagen.  They got some good bonding time in.  I think Braeden officially became a Longhorn fan.  

One thing for sure he got from his mama is his love for naps, and the best day for a nap is Turkey day.
