An update...

Brady had his 2 month doctor's appointment today!
My little chunkers weighs 15 1/2 pounds and is 24 inches long. He is off the chart in both weight and height. He is on the chart for head size, but still in the 90th percentile.
I think we have a big boy on our hands!
Brady's digestive system is slowly getting better. He has been having good mornings, and usually cries from lunchtime until bedtime, but we are SOOOOO VERY THANKFUL for the hours in the morning when he is happy!
The muscles that were trapping the gas have been stretched and it has helped release a lot of the tension in his belly. He still struggles with swallowing air and we will see a feeding specialist in the next few weeks before our return to the GI Specialist. He is such a happy little boy when his tummy isn't hurting. We love to see him smile...and check out those chins!
This is how most of my day looks, holding my little guy upright and close, while walking all over the place. I love this little boy and feel so sad that the first two months of
his life have been so rough.
Jenn, Craig, and the kids have been visiting,
so we've enjoyed the time with them.
Jayden loves his Uncle "Keg!"Jessica is growing up so fast! She is now a teenager and does so well helping with all the boys. We've had some fun times, she even gave me a facial! Thanks Jess!
Water fun!

Brady has started to nap in the mornings! YAY!
It's a nice break and we know that he needs the sleep.
(He never slept during the day because of the
constant crying/pain)
Happy about snacktime!

They hit heads, so Jayden went and got two band aids. He stuck the first one on Conner's head, and the second on his own. He's such a sweet little boy.
