Today is the beginning of my third full week back at work and we're finally getting into a good routine. I am working from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and so far that has been nice because it makes our morning routine a little easier those days because I don't have to worry about getting myself ready at the same time that we're trying to get MrKLB and Brady ready. Basically, we wake Brady up at 6am (he would sleep until 8 if we let him!) and MrKLB changes his diaper. I feed him while MrKLB takes a shower and gets dressed. Then we get Brady dressed for school, feed the dogs, and MrKLB and I eat breakfast. We try to get Brady and MrKLB out the door by 7:15am. If I have to go into the office, I then finish getting ready and leave. We make our lunches and get Brady's bottles ready the night before so that we don't have to deal with that in the mornings. I pick Brady up in the afternoons, and the time varies depending on what I have going on at work. Some days I can get him around 3:30-4pm. Other days it's around 5:30-6pm.
So far Brady is still exclusively on breast milk and I am really proud of that. When I first got pregnant I wasn't really that excited about breastfeeding, but after doing some research and talking to friends I decided to give it a try. 2 weeks was my first goal - check! Then 3 months - check! Now it 's 6 months. Anyway, in order to meet my 6 month goal I have to pump while I'm at work. It's not really as bad as I thought it would be. So far things are going pretty well and I'm able to keep up with the little guy. So, on to my 6 month goal...
Brady is truly the delight of our lives. I love everything about him. I love his beautiful blue eyes and his chubby cheeks and his chunky legs, and his tiny hands and his belly button. I even love his bald spot on the side of his head from where he sleeps on it! Okay, so really I wish he didn't have that, but I love it anyway. I love watching him sleep and watching him play and I even think he is adorable when he cries. Nothing is more precious, though, than when he looks up at me and smiles. Heart=melting! Everyone at his preschool loves him, too. They constantly tell me what an easy-going baby he is and are amazed that he laughs and smiles so much and that he eats so well there and sleeps all the time, too! We are truly blessed in so many ways to have such a wonderful baby.
Brady is really close to rolling over. He can almost roll from back to belly, but he gets stuck on his shoulder on the side he is rolling towards, so I don't think we can officially say he is rolling over just yet. I don't think it will be long before he does that. He's getting a lot better at sitting up, too. He obviously still needs some support but he's not nearly as slouchy as he used to be!
Let's see... what else? I'm in search of a halloween costume for Brady. MrKLB and I can't decide what we want him to be. I ordered a fireman costume that was adorable, but it was WAY too big and they didn't have it in a smaller size. So now I'm toying with some other ideas. Also, I made an appointment for Brady to see Santa!! He will meet Santa for the first time at Phipps Plaza. I love this Santa because you can make appointments and not have to wait in long lines. Also, this is one of the best looking Santa's that I've ever seen so I know the pics will be adorable! I'm so excited for Brady's first Christmas! MrKLB LOVES Christmas and so do I, so we know it will be even that much more fun to experience it with our son.
Well, that's all I have time for now. Here are a few pictures before I go:
