My First "Real" Bath

Brady got to take his first "real" bath when we got home from the beach. Since I did not enjoy my first bath, I'm going to let him tell you about it. (Plus, I get to tell about all the other pictures after this!!)

I loved my bath. I just laid there so content!

Daddy & Mommy both did my bath together...so, here I am with my Mommy...

...and then with my Daddy!Don't I look so content?? I was also really tired, so right in the middle of my bath...
...I fell right asleep!
But, I sure loved my bath. Daddy & Mommy said that Averie screamed during her first time in the bath, but I sure enjoyed it.

Some fun pictures...

Here I am...hanging out in the pool at my Opa & Oma's house. I got to do this a lot right before my Mommy had Brady...I loved it!

I love taking pictures. I get the "stance" just right and take lots of fun pictures.
Mommy feeding Brady!
And, Mommy having some "snuggle time" with Brady!
And, this is what Mommy says happens when "tummy time" goes too long...or when Mommy steps out of the room for just a minute...Brady just falls right to sleep!

Fun in the Sun at Myrtle Beach

Here we are at Mrytle Beach. My Mommy's side of the family takes an annual trip to the beach every year, and we had a fun time. I enjoyed playing with my cousins, and Brady enjoyed napping in the sun :)

My brother, Brady, is ready for the beach...actually, he just goes down to the beach with us, lays under the umbrella, and takes a nice nap.

Meanwhile, I, on the other hand, get to play in the sand, swim in the water with my Daddy & cousins, and swim in the pool. I loved it!

"Running" from the waves...
"Laying out in the sun" with my cousin, Stephanie...
Wearing 2 bubbles just in case I needed the extra flotation device :)
And, here is Brady...sleeping away. He loved being out in the fresh air!
Another day napping in the sun...
Daddy & Me...ready for the waves!
I loved riding on Daddy's shoulders out in the water.
Look at me...
The waves were awesome!
I liked being "buried" in the sand too! (My legs were buried!)
And, I enjoyed getting water from the ocean and pouring it in all the holes my cousins dug!
And, looking for seashells was also so fun! I even picked one for my brother!!
Digging in the sand with my Daddy!
And, sliding down the water slide at the water park with my Daddy!

It was awesome!
Meanwhile, Mommy & Brady sat along the edge and watched me. Well, Brady slept (of course) & Mommy watched and took lots of pictures!

Brady & Me...I LOVE holding him!
I did let Daddy spend a little time with Brady! He enjoyed chilling out with Brady watching the sports channel!
Brady turned 3 weeks old while we were at the beach! He is growing so fast!

Me & My Big Sister

Well, we haven't fought yet over who gets to "write" on the blog since we haven't really shared a post yet. So, here we are...who gets to do it? Well, I get to do it since I'm younger...isn't that how it goes? :)

Here I am with my big sister, Averie. She sure loves to hold me and kiss me. She plays really well when Mommy is feeding me and changing me or while I'm napping. But, once we are both awake, it's a busy time for Mommy. Averie says she can't wait to play with me when I'm a little older. I think I'll feel the same way.

Always time for a kiss!!!
She likes to just watch me too...and if Daddy & Mommy are talking to me, she does the same thing. Averie even calls me the same little nicknames like Daddy & Mommy do!
Me & Averie
We are leaving for the beach tomorrow, and we are very excited about going. Averie says that when she & Daddy go and pick seashells, that I can have one. Isn't that so sweet?
I love my big sister!

Just Brady...

Can you believe that I am almost 2 weeks old? It's sure been so great being at home, playing with my sister, eating, and sleeping. I am growing like a weed!! I had my doctor's appointment today, and I weighed 11 pounds, 14 ounces and I was 23 1/2 inches long...so I am 9 ounces past my birth weight and I have grown 1 1/4 inches...so, needless to say, my measurements are "off the charts." (Well, my head is at 97%, but it's pretty close :)) I am doing great...healthy and happy.

Here are a few pictures from the last few days...

I love sleeping with both arms straight up...that's when I'm really sleeping :)
And, I usually have a hand right by my face while eating and when I first fall asleep!
Havin' some play time!
