A Record

I guess I really want to blog just to keep a record for Brady and for me. When I get to be an old, old lady with a fading memory, I want to be able to remember more of the details of my life.

Well, even just a year from now, I know I'll need help remembering what it was like to cuddle this cute, adorable, sweet 12 week old.

Brady:

- loves to laugh (and he has a robust laugh that makes me laugh)
- loves his cousins. Yesterday, he was entralled with 5 yr old Tucker who played peek-a-boo with him.
- is very relaxed and mellow and easy-going, just like his Papa. I am so lucky!
- makes it so easy and enjoyable to be his mother.

My former boss, Claire, said to me, "oh, you must be a relaxed mother for him to be so good." The truth is, he is so good that I am more relaxed. It could have so easily gone the other way. Thank goodness for beautiful Brady.

- is so open to anything new. Put him in his jumpster, happy. Hang out ON the dining room table, happy. In his highchair, happy.

- loves, loves his floor gym. He will play for 30 mins or more, several times a day. He kicks his feet, bringing them up and then letting them fall. He bats at the hanging toys.

- is a great eater! Eats well, no spit ups, very little gas. Happy.

Brady has a father who ADORES him, too. Right now, they are both upstairs in bed, I think. Bryan can not wait to get a train set for Brady. We looked at some sets at Kenilworth yesterday and this morning Bryan asked Brady which set he liked best. Brady didn't have an opinion, yet.

We went to see Santa yesterday. We payed $19 for 4 little photos - and I laughed thinking what a right of passage (for us, right now) and it's the first time we paid a lot of money for a kid experience. Lots more to come! I can see us now at Disney World, kids camps, activities, etc, etc. And really, I can't wait.
