Bradyn is 4 Months Old

Well Bradyn in growing like a weed! We took him to his 4 month check up on Monday and he was 17lbs 7oz and 27 inches tall! The doctor said that puts him in the 92nd percentile for weight and off the charts for height. He's still on pace to be tall like daddy! He also had his second round of shots too. He didn't like that so much. He did well though. He screamed of course, but by the time we got his clothes back on him we had him giggling again. He wasn't really phased by the shots other than he's had some pretty icky poopies this past week. The doctor said it was a normal reaction to one of the shots. He hasn't skipped a beat otherwise though. He's playful, happy, and always smiling!

Bradyn rolls from front to back, and gets to his side from back to front but he gets stuck. He grabs ahold of toys and actually has started interacting with them now. He loves to look at "the baby" in the mirror and gives him a big smile every morning.

As for Chad and I, we are both doing well also. Chad maybe better than I am, I've been pretty stressed with work lately. I try to leave work at work, and I've been doing a pretty decent job of that I think, but when I'm there, I am so busy I barely have time to get up and go pee! LOL Things are crazy because we are deep in budgets, but they are due mid-October, so hopefully after that things will die down! Besides working and being parents, Chad is playing softball on Friday nights and I'm playing volleyball on Tuesday nights. We feel it is important to still keep that aspect of our life to get our sports fix, have a little alone time, and release any built up stress...like I said, I let out those work frustrations every Tuesday!

Bradyn & Zachary

We went to visit cousin Zachary the other day. Zach is 8 months old now. Bradyn and Zach played together... well more like Bradyn layed there and Zach crawled on him. It was cute and funny. We took the boys shopping at Old Orchard outdoor shopping mall since it was nice out. We decided to take them to get their pictures taken together since we don't get them together much. It was a tiring experience. LOL Zach is mobile now, so all he wanted to do was crawl away and Bradyn kept trying to roll over. Then it was trying to get them both to smile at the same time. We were hooting and hollering and screaming and whistling and squeaking toys all over the place. Finally we decided to pin Zach down by putting Bradyn across his back. Too funny. A few of the pics didn't turn out half bad. Fun day!

My Friend Cyndi's Wedding

One of my friends that I used to work with at Kraft got married over the weekend. Chad and I left Bradyn with my mom and went to the wedding. It was a blast! I got to see a lot of my old Kraft buddies all together. It's been too long since we've all been together to hang out. It was a happy wedding and the reception was tons of fun!! They are one of the things that I miss about Chicago, so it was very nice that everyone was able to make it and be in one place. We laughed a lot over more than a few cocktails, and danced like rockstars all night long! Tons of fun! I miss them tremendously!
