Brady,
Another month already? You’ve got to stop this whole growing thing. Although I must admit that this month hasn’t been an easy one. I love that you are awake so much during the day and that you’re starting to grin and make silly faces, but what I don’t love is that I can’t put you down. Even if I hold you until you have drifted into dreamland, the minute I place you in a safe place to sleep you wake up. Every. Single. Time. Your pediatrician reminded me that soon enough you will not allow me to snuggle you in my arms… and that will be a sad day.
You’ve recently decided that you hate your car seat. When I strap you in you begin to scream and sometimes scream the whole ride. If you do stop, you enjoy looking out the window and watching everything fly by. It is so precious. We have realized that if the car stops moving and the things you see out the window aren’t changing you get mad. Really mad. Now if we need to go grab something out and about, dad drops me off at the door and circles the parking lot. Yesterday while we were in the car your dad said that the speed to keep you happy will only increase as you get older, and we will have to drive faster and faster.
I’m back to work this month, which means I am trying to juggle work, you, and all of the other things that occupied my life before you entered the world. It’s not easy and I think it will be a few more months before I get the hang of it. We’re all still getting accustomed to you being a part of our world but we are enjoying the process. Every time you grin or make a new noise I remember why I wanted to have you so much.
Love,
Mama

So, my cousin showed me your blog and I am so glad she did! I have a 2 month old baby boy (my first) and just like you, I also can’t put him down without him waking up/crying!! I am new to blogging but glad I found yours, cause I felt like my baby was the only non-easy baby in the world! Seems like everyone I know has had the perfect baby that sleeps all day, never cries and always happy. So it is sure nice to know that I am not alone:) You are welcome to follow my blog as well…again I’m new and haven’t figured it all out yet but hopefully it will get better and it will be fun to see other babies the same age as him:)

he’s precious Liz! Let me know if I can help you with anything, I know that as a mom you never want to ask for the help but seriously I don’t mind! As tough as it is to hold him all day it’s true, soon you won’t be able to hold him at all! Good luck with work and stuff. I’m about to go to school again (next week) but my Friday’s will be available so I can always keep him for an hour or so and you can get some work done or go to the store! Hang in there!
