Where Have I Been, You Say?

Wow, It's been since November?  My computer has been out of comission and it has taken me awhile to get back into the swing of things.  Mommyhood is tough.

My baby was only 2 almost 3 months old.  I can't believe it's been that long.  Brady will be 7 months old next week!  *gasps*  He's getting so so big! 


See how he's grown?

Here are a few stats that I know off of the top of my head...

Weight:  16lbs, 4oz   (23rd percentile)

Length:  27.25"  (73rd percentile)

Head:  17.25"   (62nd percentile)

Diaper Size:  Size 3!!

Feedings:  He takes about 6-7oz every 3 hours.  He eats solids three times a day!  He will usually have oatmeal/yogurt/or fruit in the morning, fruit or veggie in the afternoon, and a fruit + veggie for dinner.  He loves avocado, sweet potatoes, carrots, yogurt, applesauce, etc. etc.  He does NOT like peas or green beans.  He is still on the Nutramigen. 

Sleeping:  Haha, what's that?  He will usually go down anywhere between 7:30-8pm.  He will then wake up anywhere from 12:30-2am.  After that, he sleeps like crap.  He will be up every 30 minutes.  It's been a rough few months.  I feel like I have tried everything for him to sleep better through the night.  Right now, nothing is working and he hates sleep.  He will usually take one long nap during the day, and that is on a good day.

What He LOVES:  He loves to eat, clapping his hands, crawling around on the floor, chasing Eddie, playing with his sister, his blankie, his 'da-da', remote controls, my phone, loves to grab at noses when people hold him, music, kicking his feet, his jumperoo.  Brady is truly a happy baby.

Things I Want to Remember:  He started clapping his hands around 5 months.  He can say 'da-da' and 'ed-E' (our dog).  He is still not sitting up unassisted.  He's too busy and wants to crawl around everywhere.  He started 'army' crawling at about 5 and half months.  He got his first tooth on Christmas day, and about a day later the other one popped up right beside it.  So we have 2 teeth!!  He can wear 3-6 month, 6-9 month, and some 12 month stuff.  3-6 month clothes are starting to fit pretty snug.  We still haven't switched to the convertible car sear yet, but will be here very very soon.  He had to be put on a nebulizer for a few weeks when he was 5 months old.  He had very bad bronchitis and would not stop wheezing.

Lilly is doing wonderful.  She is only 2 and half months away from finishing kindergarten.  She is very very smart and is reading very well!  We are so proud of her!  I can't believe she will be in first grade here in about 6 months.  She has made so many new friends and I am so thankful for that!  She has her very first sleepover this weekend and she is so excited about it!  Unfortunately, it's allergy season and her allergies are awful!

I promise to be a better blogger and update regularly! :)
