6 Weeks - Where has the time gone?

     I have been following one of Amanda B's suggestions and have kept a series of pictures of Braden each week.  It really is amazing to see how much his features have changed in just six weeks.

One Month Birthday

WOW, Braden is already a month old.  How did that happen?

 A little summary of this month:
     * more control of his arms (rarely punches himself in the face now)
     * eating all the time = growing, growing, growing
     * successfully breastfeeding, will take a pacifier/bottle if necessary
     * startled by loud sounds (he is used to Sage's barking by now)
     * will focus on faces, objects & lights
     * will follow moving objects with his eyes (mobile on the swing)
     * lifts his head
     * can now sleep in the bassinet (no more carseat!)
     * doesn't mind bath time
     * dislikes being still, wants to be bouncing, rocking or swinging
     * 10 lbs 2 oz, 24 inches

Swingin'

It's A Boy!

Well, he has finally arrived and I am pretty sure this blog is going to have a whole new focus!

Braden Michael Oslin was born on July 5th at 10:00 PM.  It was even more special, because he was born on his late Great Grandfather's birthday - Harold Dubay.  He weighed 9 lbs, 1 oz (was not expecting that one) and was 22 inches long. He arrived just shy of 24 hours from the time my water broke (11 PM - July 4th).  He was briefly greeted by family members around 11 PM, and then Mike and I tried to get some much needed rest.  Because I certainly did not sleep much the night before - anticipating his arrival!

Here are a few photos - including his "0" onesies and I look forward to posting about his monthly birthdays and accomplishments!

Finally Finished!

     Well, after two years I have FINALLY finished scrapbooking all of the amazing wedding photos. I have also neatly organized the extra photos into different albums.  I really did not think it would be possible - thought it would be left unfinished forever, but I have had some time on my hands waiting for Baby Oslin to arrive!  So, two full albums later, 88 pages, and starting from the engagement and ending with the reception - I am happy with the final product.  Here are just a few of my favorite pages.
