Brand New Man


tomorrow marks one month of a brand-new baby at our house! bridon has been on nutramigen during this time and is now thriving! it is so amazing to see the changes in him. when he had his cold a few weeks ago, he had all ready gained a full pound. he also smiles and laughs and babbles and smacks his lips all the time...and he started moving. and i mean moving! he is into everything. he crawls everywhere, pulls himself up on everything and tries to take steps if you are standing him up. he has all ready tipped over charlie (one of my potted plants), gotten into the dishwasher, drawers, and his favorite is to stand up and bang on his crib when he is done napping. ahhh, a baby that naps. it is wonderful and the last week and a half, he has slept through the nite. i feel so strange when i wake up in the morning and i have not moved! it's wonderful!!! and since we're talking about all that, he is also a pooping machine...yep, no meds for him and i load him down with bananas to boot (you know, quick and easy)! he takes after his father in that area...and i guess both of us in his love of food. holy cow! the boy is just like bentley was and is insane at the dinner table. he doesn't know when he's full until he's throwing up. no fear, bentley did eventually learn what it feels like to be full, and will now leave food behind and get down. one of the funniest things bri-dawg does is carry things around in his mouth while he is crawling, like a momma cat carrying her kitty. just today, i caught him coming down the hall with his sweat pants. he had the drawstring caught in his two little bucks. man, those things are sharp and he loves to wrinkle up his nose and give you a toothy smile! but, i guess that's enough bragging for one nite...i am just so grateful! i have learned some good lessons, that i hope i can become a better person from. by the way, has anyone had trouble with uploading video feed? i have the cutest videos of both boys i wanted to share, but no luck for the past couple weeks!

That is awesome you all have your lives back! And yeah I haven't been able to upload videos either for a little bit, don't know what's up. Happy Spring!

He even sleeps through the night?! Yay! I love the head-in-the-drawer picture. After he gets walking it will be fun to see him and Bentley play together.
You've just gotten your schedule worked out...are you sure it will be okay to add 2 more children to the mix?!

So happy Bridon is doing great, such a sweetheart, and I love that grin of his now. The drawer picture reminded me of Alison. I have one she threw everything out of the draw and then crawled in it and sat. Happy Spring! Mary

It was good to see Bridon and Bentley on Thursday. Thanks for coming and going to dinner with us. I'm grateful that Bridon is feeling better and is started to grow and thrive. The Lord does hear and answers prayers.
