Week 5

The last 5 weeks have been filled with memories that will last a lifetime. Watching Brennen grow and change everyday has been the best experience ever.
Today Grams leaves to head back home to the Mitten. Unless you live out of state away from your family, you truly won't understand how hard it is to say see ya later. Plain & simple it sucks. Although we are so very grateful that she was able to spend the past month bonding with her 1st grandson.
Brennen is "talking" and making all sorts of new sounds each day. He loves laying on his left side, never on his back. Enjoying tummy time and lifting his head. Hates diaper changes, would rather sit in pee and poopski. Socks are not his thing. Loving bath time. Loves being in his car seat. Still going crazy over his paci.

All the sleepless nights, poopy diapers and cries are worth it for this lil guy. I love him to the moon and back. This baby is our greatest accomplishment yet in life.

Week 4

1 month old already, that went too fast! Brennen is growing like a weed, his face and body are really starting to fill out. He is eating like a lil piggy :)
Brennen made his first of many trips to the mall with Mommy & Grams. He met the Easter Bunny for the 1st time and didn't even realize what was happening! I'm sure next year may not be as easy.
We only have a few days left with Grams. She has been so much help to us....I really hate to see her leave. But she will be back down before we know it! She has a iPhone now so at least we can FaceTime everyday!
Brennen met his great grandma Candusso this week. She is visiting from New York. With her accent all she kept saying is "he is cute, he looks like a doll." I must agree with her!
Brennen is making all sorts of new sounds. Grunting, snorting, cooing all so damn cute I can't stand it! He still is loving paci, farting like a man, makes stinky code browns, loves to cuddle, is a lil swimmer and loves his baths, our lil Florida boy prefers to be naked, will not wear socks, poses well for photo sessions, and squirms around like a worm in his crib.
Overall just a handsome, lovey, adorable baby boy! I can't get enough of him, and love him to pieces!

Week 3!

Can't believe Brennen is 3 weeks old already! We are cherishing each second of everyday with this baby, because before we know it he will be crawling!
We had our 2 week check up with Dr. Aqua and Brennen is healthy & gained 1 pound since his last visit. He received his 1st shot, and didn't like that one bit. Scared the crap out of me bc he held his breath and got red as a tomato. Not looking forward to our 2 month check up that will consist of more shots. Poor lil guy!
Grams is here for 2 more weeks! She has been such a great help. Running to grocery store, cleaning, cooking, helping with feedings day & night, and loving her grandson everyday! We are all so blessed to have my Mom in our lives. Dreading the day of departure back to the Mitten. That will be a very sad day!
Brennen is still loving on paci! Shakes his head & mouth like a mad man when paci gets close to his mouth. He is full of gas and farts like a grown man his father. When he makes poopski in his pants, the smell has made me gag. Still getting him use to tummy time. Has proven to love baths. Loves loves loves to shop...my new shopping partner :). Enjoys cuddle time and hearing our voices. Overall just a lovey, cuddly, adorable, perfect baby boy!

Brennen is loved by so many and truly is a lucky lil guy! We have received some awesome gifts in the mail, and appreciate each one of them. Looking forward to our visitors from Michigan over the next few months. I can't wait for my family/best friends to meet him!
