Weekend out...

First off let me say that Brayden has been sleeping much better. He is back to his normal sleep patterns again where he will sleep about 3 hours at a time. We were definitely tired the first couple of days, but not we are surviving. We seemed to have figured out a good schedule so that both of us can get at least a few hours of un-interupted sleep. Jon takes the first shift, so he feeds Brayden around 10:30, then usually again around 2. Then we switch out and I get the rest of the feedings.

We decided to take Brayden out on Saturday. We were getting a little stir crazy staying in the house, so we took him with us to do a bunch of errands. We didn't know how he was going to be, but the kid was an angel. As soon as we placed him in the car seat, he was out. We went to lunch at Culvers, shopping at the mall, then to Target. He didn't really flinch at all, he got up two times in 6 hours to chug down a bottle and then went immediately back to sleep. I guess we will have to take him out more because he was great!

Brayden also got his first sponge bath at home. We totally thought he was going to freak out at us, but he didn't mind being washed at all. He didn't even peep. He did give us the quivering lip after we were done, he was slightly cold, but that was about it. There is a picture below of us giving him a comb over after the bath.

We had visitors again today. Brayden got to meet more of his uncles. Uncle Jimmy and Joey came home from college this weekend for Thanksgiving, they came up with grandma. Speaking of Uncle Jimmy, we did a pool prior to the birth of Brayden where you could guess the sex, date of birth, and weight and he won the game. He was pretty on, he was only off by 14 minutes for what time he would be born. You can check out the link to the game and see peoples guesses at http://www.expectnet.com/games/babyWorthington

Here are more pictures, we can't stop taking pictures of him!!

He already learned to suck his thumb
