In the swing of things??...

So...life gets a little more hectic when you add a new baby to the mix!

It's been 2 1/2 weeks now, and I can't quite say that we've got a good rhythm going just yet! We're still trying to figure Brady out, and I'm sure he hasn't got us figured out yet either, but we're working on it! Here's a list, though, of things I already know:

1) His urinary tract is working properly! Man, this kid can pee with the best of 'em! He can pee on the floor, on the couch, on his clothes, give him an hour and he'll completely fill up a dry diaper! It's quite impressive...

2) He's a good sleeper. (Hopefully saying that won't jinx me like the whole acne fiasco a few months ago...) He sleeps in his bed, and he stays asleep for hours at a time - even at night already! Granted, we have mishaps, but thus far he's doing pretty well. LOTS better than his sister was doing by this time - that's for DARN sure! :)

3) He likes to be jiggled. I'm pretty sure he could spend the majority of his day in his vibrating bouncy seat and be perfectly content.

4) He's not a sucker. He'll take his paci sometimes, but doesn't seem to need it often, and doesn't need it to fall asleep! Can I get a "hallelujah"??!!! Sydney was a Paci Baby to say the very least, she had that huge green thing in her mouth constantly, and we had to wake up COUNTLESS times each night just to pop it back in there for her. So to say I am thankful that Brady seems to not need it so much is a HUGE understatement!

5) He is cute as can be. He looks a LOT like Sydney's baby pictures, and I think she turned out pretty good :)

6) He hates sponge baths. But then again, who wouldn't?? Thankfully, though, his umbilical cord finally fell off last night so we can begin having those nice, warm, calming bath times instead of the awful, cold, screaming ones! :)

He's a tiny little 6 1/2 pound absolute JOY, and has already succeeded in stealing my heart :)
