Technically it has been six weeks to the day that Brayden has joined this family, but I figure I am still within two weeks of posting this, so not too bad! This past "month" has flown by!! I thought being a mother of one made things go by quickly, but I guess I was wrong! I still feel like Brayden and I are still getting to know each other a bit. However, I love this little man with all my heart!! He astounds me everyday! The past six weeks he has accomplished a lot...
- He is smiling a lot more (I think on purpose)
- He is holding his head up like a champ
- He eats a ton!!! (he has gained 3 lbs 10 ounces since his birth)
- He's getting better at sleeping (longest stretch was 5 1/2 hours)
- He is learning to nap while not being held
- He is taking a bottle from Dada
- He enjoys being swaddled
- He grunts literally ALL the time!!! Loudest sleeper and eater ever!!
- He ROLLED OVER!!! (This will be another post!)
I have taken too many pictures to count, so I'll just share a few...
We are all still in the adjustment phase, but I have to hand it to both my kids...they can adapt!! Jacob has done great and is really taking to this older brother roll. And Brayden seems to thoroughly enjoy Jacob; he smiles the most when Jacob is on the floor with him doing tummy time. It's those moments that truly make you appreciate being a mother.
too fast, too fast!
