Brady: One Month Old!

On August 5th, our sweet Brady-boy turned one month old!!! He is such a sweet, snuggly, easy-going baby. And thankfully, he doesn't mind being smothered in love....because he gets a LOT of love from his two big sisters! I thought after being a month into this whole baby thing, the novelty might have worn off a bit for the girls and the crying might have gotten to them..but nope, they're still absolutely smitten with their baby brother!

In the past couple of days, Brady has started to interact with us a teeny bit & we've heard our first coos and seen our first smiles. So far, the smiles & coos have been reserved solely for Mommy....but the girls are DYING to get him to smile for them!! ;)  The past month definitely hasn't been easy (ahem, settling into a new house + sleep deprivation), but it has been oh so sweet, too. I hope I never forget the feeling of Brady burying his head down on my shoulder when I'm burping him after he nurses, and I hope I'll always remember the sound of the girls' voices as they talk to their little brother. The newborn days are certainly trying, but we're trying to soak up the sweetness as much as we can because we know this phase will be gone in the blink of an eye. We love you, Brady!!
