Liam's Birth Story Part 3: Meeting Liam

With Mason we seemed to have all of the drama after his birth with the jaundice & being tongue tied. However, with Liam once our dramatic birth was over it was smooth sailing. Nursing was a breeze, he latched right on within 30 minutes of being born & we didn't have any signs of jaundice or being tongue tied!
I unfortunately didn't get pictures with everyone that came up to the hospital or came to meet Liam like I did with Mason. While I'm disappointed, this time we just kind of enjoyed the moments which was absolutely perfect!
Although Mason wasn't the first person to meet Liam I think his meeting is the most special so I'll share those videos and pictures first. The boy has loved his little brother at first sight. At the end of the first video you can hear Mason saying "he's neat." oh my heart!!!

At the hospital this was HIS baby and if he was there he wasn't having a single person holding him

Finally going home!!

Unfortunately our only friends pictures I remembered to take was Rachel & Cassie. Sorry friends! Your visits meant the world to us I literally just forgot to document!

Such a very bittersweet moment for us for Liam to meet his great grandparents. Mason was lucky enough to meet all 4 of his great grandparents, however, this year with the passing of both of my dad's parents we weren't able to introduce sweet Liam to them. It definitely has made me all the more grateful for these two being able to meet our Liam.

My sister's wanted to do something special for us but we decided to wait until after the baby was here since we didn't out the gender. Since we had ample boy things they did a "Donuts & Diapers" come and go party. It was perfect & we are set for life on diapers!

Month at a Glance: April

Easter Sunday began with making the traditional resurrection rolls. So much fun now that Mason can understand and join.

Church photo booth

Traditional Easter lunch at Aunt Amy's. This is one of my favorite traditions because 2 years ago Easter was Mason's 1st day at home with us. This year they made Mason his own Bunny cake to decorate.....he stuck to eating the jelly beans.

The 1st week in April all Oklahoma teachers walked out of the classrooms to demand more funding for our students. The walkout lasted 9 days for our district. While pregnant Mama couldn't go to the capital to march I was able to participate at our school.

The Mason snuggles continue. I want to remember these moments forever because they truly are few and far between from this on the go little Daddy's boy. But the times they do happen are so sweet!

We tried our hand in water colors one day.....still not quite ready for this project. Maybe one day soon! It ended with oops Mama the water!

Baby Brady made an early appearance

Prepregnancy jeans still fit at 37 weeks!! Had to document the excitement!

Getting in bed with Mama & Daddy=Mama doesn't have a place to sleep

This month we finally got our last 4 canine teeth, they were quite painful!! We also experienced a pretty significant growth spurt where Mason would cry Mama my legs HURT!!!! It led to many sleepless nights.

Anything Daddy does this boy is right behind following him.

Riding on his "motorcycle"

Lazy Saturdays

The guys in my workout videos workout without shirts so Mason insists on doing the same when I workout.

I lost the ability to tie my shoes this month. Bless this man!! I never lost that ability with Mason....or I just stopped wearing tennis shoes not sure!
