Brady is now 8 weeks old. I am beginning to enjoy having the little guy around. I am mostly recovered from the shock of having a little human baby - someone to help grow: mind, body, soul - for the rest of my life. I thought, "who is this person and how in the world did he get here and what am I supposed to DO with him and will I do right, really right, by him?" Plus, he smiles and coos a lot. I am caught between looking forward to the future, anticipating all of the the fun we will have and trying to soak up every CURRENT minute of who he is right now.
Today, Brady and I went to the Dutch Market for some goodies to take to the beach with us. Then we went to the park and walked on the great paved trail - 1.6 miles (2 laps).
It's sunny and beautiful in Charm City today and despite O'Malley becoming our new governor, I felt happy to spend time with my new son.
First post, finished, with Brady hanging out on top of the dining room table, smiling.
