Hello there! I am Braxton Garner Bailey, born October 7th at 1:06pm. I weighed in at 9lbs and 2oz and 22 inches in length. I had a good amount of brown hair which is longer in the back. I was cut out of my momma's tummy and boy did I stretch her out! Here is a picture of my arrival.
I know I look like E.T. here but I'm pretty cute once I was cleaned up.
The first 5 days or so I was a happy baby and slept well for my parents. However once I got home my little tummy hurt from whatever my momma was feeding me in her breastmilk. After 3 long weeks of screaming and little sleep, she switched me to hyperallergenic formula. My screaming has stopped and I sleep just a little more than I did. I have lots of energy - I usually only take one nap a day. I love to be held and coddled and I am very vocal if I'm not getting what I want. I often get cranky for no apparent reason but I have great parents who continue to try to figure it out. Although I need to be held all the time, I am not very cuddly. I require a lot of attention and keep my momma very busy. They say I am the opposite of my sister in every way!
I am now just over 7 weeks old and I am over 12 lbs and 2 feet long. I am already in 3-6 month clothes! I wish I had more pictures but our new camera is too big for our computer to download at a decent speed and the disk wasn't formatted so some of my pictures won't show up at all. My parents are working on it and if I didn't take so much time to take care of I'm sure it would be done sooner. I'm glad I am their number one priority! Mom does have some pictures on the shutterfly account that you can see - look at Braxton's 1st day.
