All about Bradley: Second week of life

Lawson and Bradley Bates

I must say that we can't believe that Bradley is two weeks old today. He had many visitors this week from both sides of the family. He smiled for the first time and still is a mommy's little boy. I hope that you enjoy some photos and we will see you guys next week for Bradley's third week of life.
