Brendan turs 1 month

Brendan, Mike and I have been very busy since we got home last week. We have had many visitors and been busy with adjusting to home life. The week started out with a fun day with his cousins Madison and Beach. Then on Tuesday night Kyle, Hannah, Charleen, Chris and Michele came over for dinner and all got a lot of cuddle time with Brendan. Then Brendan went on a shopping trip to his Aunt Cates store in Walnut Creek for a new dress for me. He tried out his swing or the first time and really liked it. On Thursday Brendan got a great visit from his Grandma and Grandpa. He got to spend lots of quality time with them and got a surprise visit from his Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dennis. He loved all the quality time, bottles, diaper changes and most of all cuddiling. We all went to Mikes restaurants and a trip to Napa. Brendan loved spending a few days with his family and misses them so much. Mike and I went out on Saturday day night and although it was a blast my first hangover in 10 months sucked on Sunday. Scoobs is sneaking more and more licks and decided to take a drink out of the bath tub while Brendan was in it. We rounded out the week with our first family walk and date night for the three of us at FISH tonight. We are loving becoming a family more and more every day. We are of to Tahoe this weekend. Brendan's first vacation.

Brendan is getting bigger by the day!

Brendan is loving his bottles and growing by the day. His cheeks get bigger and bigger and his hair is coming in like crazy. He is almost 8 pounds and it is a big diference from the 6.4 that he cam home at. Mike and I are heading home tomorrow, we are excited and nervous. It is time to get our routine together and Scoobie is ready for his bed. We are all really going to miss being here and plan to spend some weekends here. Nanny Char and Poppy Rudy are already talking about Brendan withdrawls. Brendan's Grandma and Grandpa are coming on Thursday and we are all very excited to see them.

Brendans First Bath

Brendan is 17 days old today and got his first bath. He really enjoyed it. His umbilical cord is off and it was time to get clean. We go back to the doctor tomorrow and will find out his weight and height. We are still at Char and Ru's house and plan to go home this weekend. Mike and I went and saw Dave Matthews at the Greek theater on Friday and had a fun time rocking out and having a few beers. The little guy gets bigger and more awake everyday. His cheeks and chin are getting bigger by the day. Love to all.

Brendan's first week home.

Brendan is loving being at his Nanny Chars and Poppy Rudy's. Mike and I are loving the help. We are enjoying all that parent hood has to offer even the middle of the night feedings. We weighed and measured him and he is over 7 pounds and has hit 20 inches. He loves his bottles every three hours. Scoobs is doing great as a big brother and has only given Brendan a few licks and sniffs. Mike and I got to go on a date night already and it was nice to get out and I got to have Sushi and Champagne. Brendan can't wait to meet everyone very soon.
