3 months

The Past 3 months have literally flown by...really, this little man has grown up so fast. I have to admit that I still tend to think of him as a newborn...it's only when I see those brand new babies that I have to silently admit to myself that he's no longer that brand new babe we brought home from the hospital. This past week I had to 'retire' his onesies and jammies that just don't fit anymore and it was strangely slightly painful. On the other hand, it is so exciting to see him grow and become excited about the world around him. He loves smiling and 'talking' and has recently been introduced to his new friend the Bumbo... (Thank you Abby B) He loves to watch me cook (talking me through much of the process) and sit at/on the table in front of Brigg and me while we eat... He loves to otherwise be propped up like he's sitting or standing on his own, he gets the funniest proud smile on his little chubby cheeked face. He's now been to his first movie theatre movie and since has enjoyed catching glimpses of the tv screen at home...embarrassing to admit as a parent. And oh yes, he still sleeps in our bed for the most part...so Brox 3 Parents 0... as evidence of the following picture, he knows what he's doing eh? He's sleeping much better and has slept through the night a few times, but typically wakes up once or twice a night. He loves to cuddle still and Mama couldn't love it more. He also loves rattles, books, smiling and talking...not being on his tummy...not Thai food:( and not his crib. Maybe next month:)
So while the past three months have in fact been the fastest of my life, it's been such a fun experience watching this little loved one grow and we couldn't be happier having him as our newest addition. Here's a bit of the last 3 months



This is that very outfit he came home in...obviously not a newborn...and I would like to call your attention to the little Brox poops on our bed spread...I've learned that little babies don't have bladder control and just because you're changing their diaper doesn't mean it's become off-limits to go to the bathroom.

This was Brox's first college swimming meet for uncles Michael and McKay...Brox was excused from the picture:)

Oh yep, still in the place of preference...sleeping in or on our bed. This day he had to have been particularly tired, he fell asleep with his arms outstretched.

I was flipping through our camera and found this~so cute! Grandma Barron was babysitting him and he obviously had fun:)






Ah, just love him:)

  2. I'll be honest. When I found out I was having a boy, I was kind of sad. No bows, or little girlie accessories. But whenever I see pictures of Brox. I get soooo excited for my own litte boy! He is so cute and you dress him adorably. Congrats! :)
    p.s. where do you find his cute little outfits?! I've been looking everywhere and no one has very cute boy stuff! (Unless you want to pay an arm and a leg! Unfortunately we cannot! Ha Ha! )
