The Brody, Addie and Ryder Blog: Fifteen Weeks

Brody LOVES to smile!

This was a week full of firsts for Brody. On Wednesday he went to his first business dinner with Jim and his boss. I wasn't sure that taking a 3 1/2 month old to a nice restaurant for a business dinner was a good idea but Brody was very well behaved (as usual) and slept for most of the 3 hours that we were out. Brody was a hit with all of the wait staff and the manager even offered to carrying him around if he started crying during dinner. Luckily for us we didn't have to take her up on the offer. On Thursday we started our morning out very early since I had to be to work by 7am for a meeting. We wished Jim a happy birthday on the way out the door because he was leaving for a business trip. While at day care Brody made Jim a birthday surprise!

Brody's Birthday Card for Dad

That night Brody and I spent our first night alone in our house. Jim has been on other trips but I was still on maternity leave so we just went to stay with my parents. He was very well behaved for me only waking up once during the night. Jim returned home on Friday night and we headed out to celebrate his birthday. Brody once again slept the whole time we were out to dinner - we have been very lucky that he makes going out dinner very easy. On Saturday the boys spent the morning together while I went to get my hair cut. They had a good time just relaxing. The rest of the weekend was very relaxing with all of us going to bed early trying to catch up on our sleep. Unfortunately last night was very rough with Brody waking up every 2-3 hours screaming at us. We weren't sure what was wrong with him but after his day at day care it seems like he was working on getting things moving through his body - he was sent home in a different outfit since he exploded out of his diaper shortly after I dropped him off. The teacher at day care commented that she thought he might be starting to teethe also since he just started chewing on his bottom lip today. Hopefully that isn't the reason we were up so often last night - I am really counting on some more sleep tonight!

Hope everyone has a great week. Here are some pictures of Brody smiling (and a few of him not enjoying tummy time!) to brighten up your day!
