Welcome to the World, Dear Brady!

Welcome to Brady's Crib! Since our families are spread throughout the U.S., Tim and I want to use this blog as a way to keep everyone up to date with all-things-Brady - especially those precious details that don't quite make it to the telephone updates. A dear friend has also advised me to keep notes for myself on Brady's early days. What better place to do it?

Our sweet Brady Logan was born September 15, 2008 at 5:25pm. Although this blog was created by Tim late one night during our 4-day stay at Northside Hospital, it has taken us a while to post! As you can imagine, life has been a bit different. Wonderful and amazing, but different. Brady has grown and changed so much in these past couple weeks. I can't possibly recount all the ways. So let me just start with today.

Brady is now three weeks old (plus 3 days). It's just a regular ol' Thursday. Lots of sleeping, eating, a little fussin', a little poopin'. Brady is quite the little spitter (note the bib in the picture) so we had a bath in the sink this afternoon to wash his stinky neck. We also took care of his bottom while we were at it. He now smells like a glorious little Burt's Bee. He didn't cry at all this time. I think it helped to have the warm water running on his chest. He kicked and punched around happily.

Brady let mom eat breakfast, drink coffee, take a shower, do some laundry and take care of some paperwork. Of course, the one condition is that he be held the entire time. Brady likes to watch the ceiling fans when I hold him, which is what he's doing in this picture. We took a walk around the neighborhood with the dogs (Brady slept). We also trekked thorough the Starbuck's drive thru. Now he's chillin' all wide-eyed in his bouncy seat (with his bib still on) and we're waiting for Tim to come home. I suppose with all his sleepiness today, he might choose to be awake at 11pm and 4am like last night!

Yippee! Dad is home! See ya next time!
