6 Weeks





We're already at 6 weeks! I can't believe it! We've had a lot of new experiences this week and we've started to take up walking in the afternoons! It's kind of a big feat for me to take him in the stroller and to walk Georgia at the same time... but Brady seems to LOVE going on walks. If it's not too sunny, I'll leave the stroller open and he just looks around and grins. Georgia, on the other hand, hates the stroller. I've run over her twice with it already and she hates walking in the street, so we have to make room on the sidewalk for all of us. She will now either walk in front or behind the stroller but not next to it. (Some might ask why she doesn't just walk in the grass, but she only does that when she has to go to the potty.)

So, these pictures are from when I we were getting ready to go on a walk. I decided to change the scenery from my usual pictures on our beautiful striped blanket. Do you think he's getting bigger? I definitely think he's getting bigger. He is definitely filling out in his face a lot more.

He pretty much sleeps for 6 to 6 1/2 hours during his long stretch at night now, and we're hoping to stretch that to 7 by next week! He's been doing a LOT better at naptime, he's become pretty content in his crib, even if he's not sleeping. We stopped swaddling him the other night and have just started putting him in jammies and tucking the blanket in under him like a burrito baby. He seems to not have a problem with it at all, now that he's used to it.

He's a pretty laid back baby... he drinks his bottles straight from the fridge, he doesn't fuss too much (unless he's gassy) and he smiles REALLY big for his daddy. He's started to enjoy his bathtimes instead of screaming like he used to. He goes down GREAT at nighttime and he's been finishing all four ounces of his bottle pretty consistently. He also is a real trooper when I lug him around to lunch, dinner and running errands. I wonder how long he'll stay that way!?! :)
