Week Two at Home with Mom, Week Three of Braden

Here are some more pics to make you smile. We haven't been up to a whole lot the past few days. The weather has been nasty so we haven't been out for walks for a few days now which stinks. We had a nice weekend hanging with Dad though and now it's Monday again and it's back to Braden and Mom time. A big milestone was giving Braden his first bath this weekend (he only had sponge baths up until now). He pretty much screamed the entire time. He sure smelled nice and baby fresh when we were all done though.

Out and About

Braden and I love to take walks on the days where it has actually been nice out this week (like two days). We walked all the way to Target and back on Wednesday. That was Braden's first trip to Target. He slept the whole time.
This is a picture of what he does the entire time we are out for a stroll- sleep. He loves the BOB stroller. I think he likes the motion so much because I did so much running and working out while pregnant.
Here's to more nice days where I can get outside before I have to be locked up for the winter!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh, lovely Minnesota! :)

Two Weeks Old!

Braden is officially two weeks old tonight. In honor of the two week milestone I dressed him in his number 2 onsie. Time is flying by. It feels like just yesterday that we brought our little bundle of joy home. He is truly a dream come true!

Big Day!

Today is a big day for two few reasons:

One - it was my first day alone with Braden without Joe. I thought there would be tears shed but I was sleeping when Joe left for work at 6:30 this morning so I didn't have a chance to get emotional. I was a little scared of what today might bring but it was a great day and I did it all on my own! :) I got to take a shower and dry my hair and we took an hour long walk outside. I call those major accomplishments. Joe missed his little guy and anxiously came home after work to hold him in his arms! The bottom pic is a pic we took this weekend of us three curled up on the couch relishing the fact that we all got to be together for twelve days straight.

The second reason that it is a big day is the Vikings vs. Packers game tonight. I am posting these pics of Braden next to a football - his Dad is already trying to influence him on what sport to play and what team to cheer for. Many of you might be disappointed that Braden will be a man who wears green but when you have a Dad that is so passionate about his team you can't really deny him of getting his own son to join his club. :)
