Brady at Two Months

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
