3 Months Old

Guess who's 3 months old?!?!?  Yep, Blake!
As I seem to say every month, it is so hard to believe!
I started back at work this Wednesday and all in all it was a good week.  


Here is what our little man is up to these days:

* You are slightly inconsistent still when sleeping at night :(
You have gone anywhere from 5 hour stretches to 9 hour stretches.
After the first long stretch you usually go about another 3 hours at a time

*  You continue to eat every 2-2 1/2 hours during the day
(unless you are taking a long nap and then you stretch it out a bit longer)

*  You are a good nurser and good about taking a bottle

*  You eat very fast (which I'm thankful for at 4:00 in the morning!)

*  You can hold your head up by yourself and with body support can sit up

*  Your legs are getting stronger and you can "stand up" if we are holding you


*  You still have the same schedule during the day of a shorter nap in the morning and evening and a longer afternoon nap

*  You are always ready to go to bed for the night between 8:00-9:00 and usually wake up around 8:00 in the morning

*  You still sleep best in your chair for naps and on your side cuddled up

*  You love to have your pacifier when going to sleep

*  When someone is giving you attention you are a big smiler and are cooing a TON

*  You are fairly stoic most of the time but really light up with 1:1 attention

*  You can tell when you are by yourself and do not like to be left alone

*  You love to be talked to and played with and will attempt to carry on conversations

*  No laughs yet, but we are anxiously awaiting the day when you figure out your giggles

* You aren't a huge fan of tummy time, but like to be on your tummy if we hold you on our chests

* You are a mover when awake, constantly waving your arms and kicking your legs


*  You like to track faces better than objects (if you have a choice you will look at mommy or daddy rather than toys)

*  You are able to roll from your side to your back and can sometimes from your back to your side

*  You LOVE your fingers and are quite amazed by them when they "appear" in front of your face...you attempt to put them in your mouth quite a bit too

*  You still startle easily and continue to get the BIGGEST eyes when something scares you

*  You are wearing size 3 month to size 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diaper

*  Your hair is still brown and your eyes are a mystery 
Sometimes they look blue, brown or green 
(I personally think they will eventually turn brown)

*  According to our home weighing system you weigh 13lb 7 oz.

*  Overall you are just a real sweetheart
Very content, loving, cuddly, cute and so fun to have around!

River Fun

This morning Landon, Blake and I met our good friends Annie, Trey and Brooklyn at the river to go for a walk and let the boys play.  It was a perfect day and the boys had such a great time!

Blake and Brooklyn enjoyed being outside, hanging out on the blanket together
Future Mr. and Mrs. Smith?!?!
Lots of fun playing with sticks and sand


Walking, jumping and running in the water



And the most fun of all...throwing rocks!





We are so grateful for this friendship and the fun times we have together!

Brotherly Resemblance

Tonight I noticed Blake was wearing the same pajamas as Landon in a picture we took of him when he was about 3 months old (Blake is 11 weeks today).
We decided to try and re-create the picture with Blake.
It was fun to compare and see the resemblance!

They both definitely have their own look but there is a strong brotherly resemblance as well!
