3 Months

Here we are again, celebrating yet another month!


This month has been all about routine.  Things are feeling easier (a relative term), and I'm beginning to find my groove.

You continue to be such a happy, chatty little guy.  And so active!  As I write, you are laying on the floor about to roll over (from back to front) at any minute.  I know you'd be upset to find yourself face down, but you sure enjoy moving around and exploring your world.

This month we nursed you through your second cold (arg!)  Abigail's been bringing home lots of toddler germs that she so generously shares with all of us (I'm starting to think there's a direct correlation between her new licking habit and these nasty colds)  Early this weekend was especially hard- you seem to be getting over your cold, but have been struggling with nursing and taking good naps.

I'm so excited to celebrate your first Christmas with you!  It was hard finding a gift (toy wise) that we didn't already have, but I think you will love what we picked out  :)  This month you met Santa and went to your first annual Snowflake Lane with us, Auntie, Uncle Ian, and your cousins.

Here are some fun facts this month:

  • you weigh 13lbs, 8 oz
  • you love playing with toys.  The pink rattle and Eebee are your favorites
  • We've been laying you in Abigail's crib during dinner with the balloon mobile above- you could sit there for hours, flirting shamelessly with that thing.
  • You've stopped clenching your fists as tight, so your sweaty palms are getting better  ;)
  • You love to stand and "walk" (and Abigail loves impersonating your walk)
  • You sleep from 8pm-4am every night, wake for your feeding, then back to bed until 7:30 
  • You're on a 2 hour schedule during the day (napping and nursing every two hours)
  • In my arms is your favorite place to snooze
  • You and I spent the majority of naptimes watching Breaking Bad this month :)
  • I'm in love with your sweet baby breath and the comforts of nursing you
  • A bubba and swaying side to side has you asleep in seconds
  • Still a lover of lights!
  • You're wearing 3 month clothes but quickly growing into 6 month sizes
  • You love Abigail and seem unsettled on days she's not around 
  • You have the most contagious smile.  Ever!

We have a very big day and week ahead: we're off to Chuck E. Cheese for Oscar's 5th birthday party today, to a Christmas concert where Dad is performing tonight, then The Slam starts tomorrow.

Get ready to party your way to Christmas- a week long bender awaits!



I adore you, sweet boy.  Happy three months.
