Day in the life of Brady at 3 Months Old

Start my day off with a work out at the baby gymFollow by a nap with Mr. Monkey
Some more fun at the bouncy chair.

Add in 7-9 meals a day plus running errands around town with Mom and Brady is ready to call it a day. He's still growing like a weed ---12lbs 13oz at his 3 month check-up.

Here comes Santa......

Brady had a great time with his first visit with Santa.

2 months old!

"Did I mention I love my paci"
Like father like son

Smiling Angel

Brayden is 2 months old and cuter than ever. Weighing in at 11lbs 12oz and 22 3/4" long.

He is starting to coo, smile, laugh, and can even lift his entire chest up during tummy time.

Apple Orchard Fun

"I want to bite into it, but I have no teeth"
Too many apples!!

We enjoyed a beautiful fall day at Stuckey Farms.
Brady loved his first apple picking trip.

Getting ready for Halloween

Mommy's little Teddy Bear is all ready for his 1st Halloween.

Trick-O-Treat. No candy? Breastmilk will do :)

1 month old!

Brayden is getting so big. He's now 10lbs and 21 1/2" long! Mommy can now officially

leave the house after the traditional month long confinement at home--Thank God!

3 weeks old!

Brady is growing like a weed. He's 8lbs 4oz and 20 1/4" tall.

2 weeks old

1st ride in the stroller--He loved it!

Brayden is now 7lbs 8oz. His cheeks are filling out and he is starting to get a little
cradle cap. Mommy loves the way his hair stands up after shampooing.

Brayden is 1 week old!

The consensus is unanimous--He's a carbon copy of Daddy.

It's hard to believe how time flies. Brady is already a week old. He's

almost back to his birth weight and is doing great. Now if only he'll let Mommy

sleep at night........I know I'm dreaming.

Welcome Brayden James Guo

Baby Brayden came into the world a couple of weeks ahead of schedule on

9/14/2009. After months of anticipation, Mommy and Daddy were estatic to

see him. He weigh 7lbs 1oz and is 19" long. He wanted to come out vaginally, but

after close to 24 painful hours of labor, he arrived via C-section.

He's very social--likes staying up and sleep depriving Mommy already.

First look at Brayden

Bath time

Absolutely loved his ride home and his blue blanket-thanks Carol

First Evening at home

Waiting for baby.......

I can't believe that our baby will be arriving in a couple of weeks. I have been blessed with a smooth, uneventful pregnancy and the unwavering support of family and friends. Can I possibly say that I might actually miss being pregnant---I know hard to believe. But there is something magical about having a little baby grow inside you that makes all the aches, sleepless nights, congestion, and having to pee every hour completely worth it.

Indiana Dunes

Brian's Itty Bitty Catch of the Day.
On the top of Mount Baldy. The desert in Indiana

The weather was scorching hot and the water icey cold, but we still had a

great time at Indiana Dunes. The scenery was spectacular and there were

lots to do. We spent the day hiking, fishing, beach combing, and dune climbing.

Baby Corner

My nesting instincts have kicked into gear. I'm browsing the ailes of Gymboree and Target weekly--he already has a bigger waldrobe than Daddy (hehe). Brian and I have decided to keep the baby in the room with us the first few month, so we've started decorating his little corner. Hope he likes planes :)

And yes, I know bumper pads are a big no no. I'll take them out when the baby comes home.

It's a boy!!!

He's 13oz already

Showing off his manly package

Brian got his wish. We are expecting a little boy!

Niece and Nephews

Tech Savy with the I-phone
Big brother Anthony and sister Lillian

Alex is back in Indiana after almost spending a year in China. It's amazing to see

how much he has grown and how talkative he is (all chinese of course). Watching the

kids play together this weekend it dawned on me that it won't be long before my baby joins

the bunch. This week I'm officially half way through my pregnancy. I've been lucky to have had such a smooth pregancy so far. Hopefully the next 20 weeks will go by just as fast and

uneventfully as the last.

Graduation at last!

4 years in the making--I finally graduate with my MSN.

Happy

Its Spring and beautiful outside, but Happy is content on lounging at her favorite spot of the house--her bed.

Disney World

Our first family vacation to Disney World (even if our baby was only 1o weeks ago)

Mommy was really good and avoided all the thrill rides. We still had a blast.
