3 months old!

 You turned 3 months old today!!! Crazy how fast this last month went and how much you have changed! There is definitely a difference in your waistline for sure haha... as all of those extra feedings you have screamed for are finally catching up to you. You have leveled off on your eating though, which I am so thankful for! AND you are now on a schedule... well pretty much! You eat every 3 hours and its typically 8, 11, 2, 5, 6:30 and 8, but depends on when you wake up in the mornings. You have also started sleeping SO GOOD! Most nights you go all the way until 6:30am but if you do wake up its only once. Sleeping and now laughing are the two biggies this month! Your giggle sounds like a squeaky toy and is oh so adorable.

Here are some more things about your life at 3 months:
-weigh 15 lbs
-wear size 0-3 BARELY... will be going up very soon
-size 1 diapers only until this pack runs out and jumping to 2's!
-do very well with eating, then staying awake and then sleeping which is what all the books say you should do... and repeat every 3 hours
-love your swing
-HATE your carseat
-watch your big brother's every move
-are swaddled every time you sleep
-would be held all day if you could
-have about 2 formula bottles a day for supplement
-and last but not least have THE MOST EXPLOSIVE POOPS EVER! Okay, I'm going to expand on this one and I am really not exaggerating at all. About 4 out of 5 times that you poop it is so explosive and powerful that it shoots straight up your back and of course that means out of your diaper. I literally have to change your clothes at least 3 times a day and clean off your shoulders bc thats how far it goes! And its not because you even poop that much necessarily or have a super full diaper that overflows. You can have a brand new diaper and poop even just a little and it still shoots STRAIGHT up! It has began to get rather funny as every Sunday the nursery ladies always ask, "So has he had to change his clothes yet?" I have to bring 3 different church outfits every Sunday because you have had to change at least once every single Sunday. How crazy is that?!?! Yes I still love you my little pooper :)

 Here is a laugh caught on camera!


 silly goose
 And even more silly that I turned around for a second to do something for your brother and looked back and you had posed yourself (or fell) like this :)
 3 rolls for 3 months!
 We had our first family trip to the Mudcats game for Mother's Day
 and it was your FIRST game!
 You wore your baseball bootie onesie
and spent most of the game snuggled with Daddy like this!

Car screams

I do not exaggerate when I say that EVERY time you get in your carseat you SCREAM bloody murder! Whew son... it is bad ha! We have tried everything: mommy sitting back there with you, giving you a bottle, putting you in the seat asleep, giving you toys, holding your hands, patting you, even the paci... and NOTHING works! It makes for a very stressful ride because you let us have it, not just crying but screaming at the top of your lungs. At some point we just have to laugh and realize this is just what happens with infants sometimes but goodness it raises our blood pressure too! Hopefully you will grow out of it... SOON :)

Photo shoot

I remember very well one of my favorite photo shoots I did with your brother with the UT gear and since you are now that same age I decided it was time for yours too. Well son, I hate to tell you but it didnt go quite as well as it did with him... FIRST of all the onesie we had bought you both that was size 3 months would not fit you. Safe to say you are definitely bigger than he was at this age. And 2ndly I'm not sure why but he smiled more for the camera.
However I decided we would just do a naked shoot to show off those adorable rolls!
this just makes me laugh!
cool dude

Dont worry chunky monkey... we will do more photo shoots along the way... and I love your chunky monkey self just the way you are :)

Playing with the big boys

Tonight your brother wanted to play some baseball outside so we went and he got to play with the "big boys!" aka the older kids in our neighborhood. You also decided that you were just not going to sit in your carrier in the stroller, so instead I put you in the big boy seat in the front. It was a SUCCESS! You loved sitting up AND being able to see what they were doing! I would say we will be moving you to a big boy car seat sooner than later if it will stop the fuss!!
