We got Broderick's pics!!!!

We took Broderick in to have his pics taken when he was 7 weeks. We would have gone in earlier but Sheri, his photographer, was recovering from surgery. I could have taken him somewhere else but I was set on having her take his pics since i LOVE her work and how affordable it is! She really does amazing work! no one would ever guess that Broderick was fussy the entire time during the shoot. Sheri was very patient and helpful at soothing him and taking pics in split seconds before Broderick would start up again. whats funny about all this is that the minute the session was over and Mike handed her the check, Broderick fell right to sleep...isnt that how it always goes. Baby's sure let you know who's in charge:)

(if you're thinking about getting pics taken for you or your little ones, I highly recommend her. here is her website if you want to take a look at her work: go to www.sweetpeapix.com and then click on her blog)

Broderick's 2nd Month

i cant believe my little guy is 2 months! he has grown and changed so much. he weighs about 13lbs and is getting the cutest little roles on his little arms and legs. this month has been filled with surprises from Broderick. i think the best surprise was that he started actually smiling on V-Day. his smile melts my heart to this day, i do anything to get one!

another not so great surprise are the several accidents he has had when he goes #2 this month. wow, nobody prepares you for that at all! he has had massive explosions where "it" actually has seeped through his pants and landed on the floor. and there have been 2 occasions where during the middle of a diaper change, he has had a massive discharge that has landed, not only on me, but on EVERYTHING! i thought i had to worry about #1 with little boys but with Broderick it has solely been #2 lol.

In regards to feeding sessions with Broderick, he's been pretty good getting gasses out on his own but he spits up a lot now and sometimes in large quantities. it kinda freaks me out cause it looks as if he throws up EVERYTHING he ate.

Broderick LOVES bath time. . . finally! he could be in there for hours if i would let him. he smiles and splashes around and just thoroughly enjoys every second. now the problem is getting him out. he cries inconsolably for a little more splashing time. i promise him every night that he will get another bath the next day (i wish he understood ).

i thought his colic times where over with since he had about 1 good week but i was wrong. He is still randomly colicky :-( . poor little guy. most days are good but when he is having a bad day, it is BAD! he definitely keeps mike and i on our toes. and i guess ill have to watch what i eat for another month or so to help him out with that.

i've been reading alot to him this month. we've read most of the poems from "where the side walk ends" and have read "Love You Forever", "The tale of Benjamin Bunny" and "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". "love you forever" though is my favorite to read to Broderick. i cant help but get teary eyed every time i read it and look at him. i'm amazed at the immense love i have for the little guy.

Something new this month as well is i got Broderick a mobile for his crib and he absolutely LOVES it. no matter how long i put him in the crib, if the mobile is turning and playing music he is happy. he smiles and i swear he tries really hard to giggle.


We got his first professional baby pics. i haven't received them yet but i am super excited to see how they turned out!

After all of that....i believe i covered all the highlights for this month! sorry if i made you dizzy, :-)
