<h3>
To say "Baby Book" has been on a hiatus is an understatement. Brady is a completely different child now from when I posted last. I think the last post was 18 month words and I had a list of about 10 words. Well, if I were to write a list of words that he can say now....I'd be here all night. </h3>
<h3>
<em>Since the last time I posted</em>, we have moved Brady from his birth state of South Carolina to a state that NONE of us have ever lived in...Virginia. <em> Since the last time I posted</em>, Brady now stays home with Dada and goes to school 3 days a week<em>. Since the last time I posted</em>, Brady spends his days on farmland instead of beaches<em>. Since the last time I posted</em>, Brady now sleeps in a real bed and is potty trained.<em> Since the last time I posted</em>, we have unfortunately discovered Brady is severely allergic to peanuts and walnuts. </h3>

<h4>
I will attempt to post again before Brady turns 5. ;)</h4>

That is why I started this blog after all. Brady is now 14 months and growing faster than ever. We FINALLY got a first "real" word. Boom is his official first word. Anytime he falls or throws something he says boom. So cute :) The occasional mama, dada and ga will be said, but we consider boom to be the first word. Brady may not be speaking much, but he sure has a mouthful of teeth! 11 teeth!! He still naps twice a day and nurses 3 times a day. I am happy to also report he is sleeping through the night. We usually don't hear him from 8pm-5am. </div><div> </div><div> </div></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05815764328146364426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517523576566748705.post-26257805396986201252011-09-13T11:11:00.018-04:002011-09-13T11:38:03.257-04:0012 months<div>It has been one year since our lives changed forever.

August 6, 2011 was officially when he took his first steps. At the moment I'd say he crawls 85% of the time, but when he gets upright he loves every minute!!

I guess my free time is becoming less and less as the days go on. Who would've thought a 10 month old requires so much attention? :) Oh Brady,<br />(a.k.a. -B-) please give me a few more weeks until you start walking..... yes, the time of sore backs and growing arms muscles is soon to be no more. He is getting around the room now holding on to things and falling a lot less. I'm not rushing it, but soon he will be on two feet chasing poor Gus and getting in to more things he shouldn't. Until then....days are going a little something like this:<br /><br />Sleeping through the night ~ <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span>, we are STILL getting up between 3:30am and 4:30 am for a feeding. Some days he sleeps closer to 5am, but has yet to make it what you'd call through the night (8p-8a). <br /><br />Getting up for the day between 7am-8am.<br />Nurse 5-10 minutes<br />Breakfast (2 portions of pears or apples) also just <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">recently</span> been trying yogurt. He seems to like it.<br />Play for 2 hours<br />Nap (1- 2 hours)<br />Nurse 5-10 minutes<br />Play/Run errands for 3 hours<br />Nurse 5 -10 minutes<br />Nap (1-2 hours)<br />Play for an hour<br />Nurse 5 minutes<br />Dinner (been experimenting with a variety of things other than his regular squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, etc... Last night tried mashed potatoes and peas and carrots<br />Play for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">another</span> few hours/Walk/Bath<br />Nurse 10 minutes<br />Bed at 8pm<br /><br />Weighed B last night ~ 23 lbsMeganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05815764328146364426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517523576566748705.post-49429112306904506662011-06-13T14:33:00.003-04:002011-06-13T14:52:41.796-04:009 month updates<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">9 Months!</span></strong></div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--RqAkWUuAf8/TfZYHTC13hI/AAAAAAAAATQ/3rCMkMvz6X0/s1600/june%2B009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617774467585793554" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--RqAkWUuAf8/TfZYHTC13hI/AAAAAAAAATQ/3rCMkMvz6X0/s320/june%2B009.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>I thought it was time to do a little updating on our virtual baby book. Being that Brady's 9 month birthday was yesterday and we had a wellness visit with the doctor today, I figured now would be as good of time as any to do a little writing.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Okay, eating: still nursing 6x day for approx. 10 minutes. I have been making baby food for the little guy and freezing the product in ice cube trays. He eats one in the morning (usually pears or apples) and one early evening (squash, carrots or sweet potatoes). We have also JUST started the puffs. Good for hand/eye coordination and he is feeding them himself :) The doctor suggested trying to feeding him some watermelon (for good pictures). So, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">that'll</span> be next. We are going to introduce finger foods now on a daily basis so he can get used to feeding himself and chewing/swallowing. Also working on getting him to drink out of a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">sippy</span> cup. No luck yet, but he'll get it. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Sleeping: <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Whoo</span>..<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">hooo</span>! We are doing good!!! After a recent road trip, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bradys</span> schedule was turned upside down and when we returned home he was waking up at night like he was 3 weeks old again. Whew.......that was no fun. After 3 nights of letting him cry it out (about 10 minutes each time) he finally got it. He is going down without a fight at 8pm and not waking until 5 am. Then back down until 8am. We are at 2 naps a day. Morning nap lasts about an hour and the afternoon almost 2 hours. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>A few <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">developmental</span> things...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Brady is crawling everywhere and pulling himself up on everything! We put up a baby gate to give Gus a little relief :) </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Experiencing a little stranger anxiety lately but that's very normal for this age. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>He has said <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">dada</span> many times...however does not seem to know what it means. He looks at Gus and says it as well as Adam :) </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Does <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">respond</span> to name.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05815764328146364426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517523576566748705.post-55949299399039735312011-06-06T11:45:00.006-04:002011-06-06T11:54:29.565-04:00I think we may have a swimmer!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4kn_m_WYV3M/Tez2yvza-qI/AAAAAAAAATI/3wF5ngOibIE/s1600/june%2B006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615134187110202018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4kn_m_WYV3M/Tez2yvza-qI/AAAAAAAAATI/3wF5ngOibIE/s320/june%2B006.JPG" /></a> When it comes to getting in the water, Brady has no problems and absolutely loves it.

One in the morning and one in the afternoon. It really all depends on him though. Yesterday he was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">crankyer</span> (is that a word?) than normal so he took 3 naps. Day by day.</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Sleeping at night...where shall I begin. Well, we are hoping this doesn't become a habit, but the past few nights he has been fighting going down (which has never been the problem! Go figure) It will take about 15 minutes or so and he eventually falls asleep with the help of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">binky</span>...will get to that later....</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">He has been sleeping from approx.8:30-3:30. Feeds at 3:30 and is back down until 8am. Not too bad. Feeding schedule remains about the same. Every 3-4 hours. Half a jar of fruit in the morning,half a jar of vegetables at night. I am starting to make baby food too!<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-av11-fKEDHM/Tc6QpmippXI/AAAAAAAAARU/jJgja_n2K4Y/s1600/summer%2B011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606577630517765490" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-av11-fKEDHM/Tc6QpmippXI/AAAAAAAAARU/jJgja_n2K4Y/s320/summer%2B011.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Having fun in the pool!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M4WIyl1rSL4/Tc6QiJKdnDI/AAAAAAAAARM/SyQ6Hx9D3Us/s1600/summer%2B009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 186px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606577502372600882" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M4WIyl1rSL4/Tc6QiJKdnDI/AAAAAAAAARM/SyQ6Hx9D3Us/s320/summer%2B009.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />Okay...so the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">binky</span>.

I'm leaning towards a cold however because he just 2 days ago he was in the gyms day care and I noticed a kid with a snotty nose in there when I dropped Brady off. I'm sure that little snotty nosed brat was all up in Brady's face and passed a cold on to him. :) Well, I'll never know. I have been using the humidifier and the nasal aspirator (thank god for that invention!) to release some of the mucous and snot in his nose.

Oh my how everything has changed in that time. Its amazing how much he has learned in that time too. Still not crawling, but getting up on hands and knees with ease, scoots backwards, and does circles on tummy. Pretty funny to watch. Smiles ALL the time esp. at Adam and I, but also at complete strangers. Just yesterday Brady started to growl. He is constantly making noises, no real words yet, but the growling is something new...and hilarious. Still not sleeping <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">consistently</span> through the night. One day, I hope. Still taking 3 naps a day...I have a feeling the 2<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Nd</span> one may be eliminated here soon.

Mama had me up, fed, dressed and ready to go by 7:30 am! Don't get me wrong, I'm usually awake at this time but am always still in my bamers and playing with my toys. I had seen Daddy briefly as he was going out the door with his bike at 6:00 am! That's even early for him...but he was warming up for the big race he was about ready to be in. <br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zML2PA7e2bI/TZxfj1KnCHI/AAAAAAAAAMU/ODmql2mH46M/s1600/april%2B003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592449906458953842" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zML2PA7e2bI/TZxfj1KnCHI/AAAAAAAAAMU/ODmql2mH46M/s320/april%2B003.JPG" /></a> OK, mama got me all bundled up cause it was cold that morning!

Now the main purpose of this blog is to have "written" record of Brady's milestones and day to day experiences. So I blog about his schedule from time to time more for a record keeper to me. But for those of you that I talk to regularly, this can give you a basis on when to call, or not to call :) So as is schedule changes, (which I am sure it will many times) I will update those changes.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588008147527223826" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2bWed83-IWA/TYyXzbtZShI/AAAAAAAAAKk/rMQJWTpNabY/s320/008.JPG" /><br /><br /><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><strong>So this is a day in the life of Brady at 6 1/2 months:</strong></span></em><br /><br />5am: Wakes up for an early morning feeding<br /><br />5:30-7:30am: Back in dreamland<br /><br />7:30am: 10minute feeding<br /><br />8am: Breakfast with rice cereal and either squash or carrots<br /><br />8:30-9:30am: Play time!

Yes, it looked delicious, esp. the Corona. I however make my fish tacos slightly different. Like Sarah said there are many, many ways to make your own fish tacos. Mine is more of a southern style version unlike Sarah's western style take. Check out her recipe here <a href="http://http//sweetsbysarah.blogspot.com/2011/03/ole.html">Sarah's version</a>.

Some people say "time flies!" and I agree in some aspects of that exclamation. However, these past six months have felt like SIX MONTHS! Perhaps it is because, like I said on FB, I have been awake for most of it. I am sure that come next year at this time, I will say to myself,"where has the time gone?"...but not feeling that way quite yet! </div><br /><br /><div></div><div>Now, according to Medline Plus from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, (thanks Alexa) these are some of the develpomental milestones for a 6 month old.

That is the question.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkWLLdzuIKM/TXeSLxMbosI/AAAAAAAAAJU/YZ6la4VoDLI/s1600/medical-sign%255B1%255D.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 253px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582090994030715586" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkWLLdzuIKM/TXeSLxMbosI/AAAAAAAAAJU/YZ6la4VoDLI/s320/medical-sign%255B1%255D.jpg" /></a><br /><div>"Bless his heart" </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>All in all Brady has been very healthy and has had little problems physically. He was born late and big...so no issues with the pregnancy and labor. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>About a month in, the doctor said he has acid reflux so he has been on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Prevacid</span> since. Every night we administer these delayed released <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">capsules</span>. He had become quite good at taking it! With reflux however, comes a lot of spitting up, gagging (had an episode this morning that scared the s*#t out of me), coughing and hiccups. Hopefully he won't have to be on the medication for too long. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Some</span> kids have to be on it for the first few years of life though. We'll see. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>For the past few weeks we have noticed another health issue with Brady. It started with just one dry spot on his back. We kept an eye on it, but it never went away. Then it became more dry spots. All over his back and some on his belly and sides. It was OBVIOUSLY not normal so I took him to the doctor Monday. They said it was either contact <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">dermatitis</span> or baby <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">eczema</span>. Both are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">treated</span> with the same medication (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">hydrocrotisone</span> cream). After just 2 days of applying the cream it looks better already. I am to use the cream for another 3 days and see what it looks like <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">after</span> that. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The episode that scared me this morning was when I went to get him out of his crib I then took him to the changing table and noticed his nose had snot in it (haven't seen that yet) . Then he started to gag so I picked him up and he PROJECTILE <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">vomited</span> all over!! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ewww</span>. So I kept him upright for a while longer and he started gagging again on what sounded like <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">phlegm</span>. He then <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">vomited</span> again. He nursed then just fine and seems perfectly normal now. Possibly though his first little cold?? I think I will wait until his 6 month vaccine appointment next week until we go to the doctor again. Unless of course his <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">symptoms</span> get worse.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>In general, I think we have a pretty darn healthy kid! I hope he can stay that way throughout his life. </div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05815764328146364426noreply@blogger.com1
