....Another Formula....

Today has been so fun....last night Brady was up most of the night grunting and squirming. We are now trying our third type of formula per our doctor's encouragement. I hope this one works. Two bottles down and so far so good. We will see.

After the second bottle, I put him in his bouncy seat that Buddy put together today and sat in front of him with the camera taking pictures. I couldn't believe I caught a big smile. I was so thrilled.

Buddy has been very busy with VBS this week and Jaydon has been going also. They have both been exhausted when they get home, so not a lot of things going on here at our house in the evenings with those two. Buddy did capture some good pictures of Jaydon yesterday. I can't remember if I posted it or not that when we start taking pictures of Brady or really anything.....Jaydon says, "Take a picture of Jaydon". We just laugh and say okay. He poses for them most of the time. He is so entertaining right now. We laugh quite often around here with Jaydon. Fun times at the Knott house!

....Daily Life With Brady.....

I apologize that it has been a while since the last entry.....but we have been a little busy.....ha! Things are going better than expected here. Brady is a very good baby. We are dealing with the typical baby stuff, like trying to get the right formula for his stomach and things of that nature. We went to see our pediatrician for the first time yesterday and things went really well. Brady had gained some weight....he weighs 5lbs 11 1/2 oz. So we are excited about that. Everything else so far is good also. We took lots of pictures of the visit. Everyone just laughs because we take pictures of everything.

Brady still lifts his head whenever he wants to and earlier I had him leaned up in the corner arm of the couch and he lifted his head and pulled his body up as if he was trying to sit up.....I know....you don't believe it. I wouldn't either if I hadn't sat here and watched this baby do it myself! Hopefully I can get it on video.

Our company as finally started to slow down and a new normal is setting in. Jaydon is still doing great with Brady. He loves him. Yesterday when he and Buddy got home, the first thing Jaydon did when he saw Brady in the swing was lean over and kiss him and tell him "It's okay, Jaydon is here". It is so sweet to watch him love on Brady Cameron.

Our birthmother is doing really well, she and her mom came over Saturday afternoon for their first visit with us and Brady. It was awesome. Brady's birthmother just held him and watched him. She fed him and burped him (which she wouldn't do in the hospital). It was very sweet to watch them kiss on him and just stare at his little features. Of course, Jaydon put on a show for them. He played with everything imaginable so they could watch him. They even bought Jaydon some pool toys so he wouldn't feel left out that they had bought Brady something. They both go above and beyond trying to include Jaydon into the situation, which we are so thankful for.

As each day passes, we realize more and more how blessed we are to not only have a new baby, but to have a birthmother and grandmother that will forever be able to tell Brady Cameron themselves how special he is and how much he is loved by everyone. We all talk about how God obviously has something really important for Brady in the future and we are so excited to have a little part in it.

Thank you to all of those that have prayed for us and continue to. We are so blessed and God is so good to our family.
