Samuel - 3 Months

This month was a busy month for you!  I'm pretty sure you had a 'wonder week' in there somewhere because all of a sudden you started focusing in on things and 'talking' specifically to them. You found your hands at right around 9 weeks old! This month you've started really loving to hang out on your activity mat (or anywhere with bright colors that's flat so you can kick and squirm).  You are still going to work with Mommy every day and so far so good!  We have a pretty easy routine of eat, nap, play, repeat. 

HAPPY THREE MONTHS!  

Sweet smiling baby :)

Finding my hands!

You also went on another trip to Grenada to see Poppy Don and all the cousins.  The twins (Maggie and Katalin) even came down from Wisconsin and D.C., so you got to meet them as well.  

Daddy may kill me for this one, but I can't help it!  It's too precious!

Samuel's yawn cracks me up!  Sweet baby boy with Daddy

This month I was able to start using your bigger sizes of cloth diapers!  It feels so nice to not have to spend as much $ on disposables.  I can also say that strangely, I love cloth diapering you!  I'm sure I wouldn't say that if I had to wash them all by hand :).

This month you and I went to a Pampered Chef party at 'Aunt' K'Anna's house and you got to see your great great Aunts Emma and Nell.  They held you for the first time and you were such a good baby for them!

This is what you thought of the Olympics :P.  You really liked
watching swimming, volleyball, and gymnastics.

 

Your very first trip to the Elite restaurant in downtown Jackson!
I hope you enjoy eating there as much as we do!

My precious Samuel

When you were born, a nice lady came around to our room in the hospital and took your newborn pictures.  We bought some of the pictures and the package we got came with a free sitting and free picture when you turned 3 months old.  Since we scheduled that sitting just before you turned three months, it makes it onto this blog post :).  One of the outfits you wore was a onesie that was your daddy's when he was your size!  That was a special thing to us :).

Other things that happened this month:

You sat outside on Mimi's porch with her and watched the world!

We gave you your first binky!  You loved it :)

You still LOVE baths, especially your hoodie towels!

Monty just loves to 'protect' you

You also like playing with things that rattle and crunch.  I can't get
over how blue your eyes are!  I think they are so pretty!

All that playing tuckered a fella out!

We are so grateful that God sent you into our lives!  It almost doesn't seem right to be in your 4th month of life!  Time is sure flying, and we are trying to enjoy every second!
