The Things We Do

What we have been up to lately...


Reading books in the tent

Building forts
Building zoo animals in their cages (see the giraffe?)
Taking turns sitting in the bumbo chair
Bouncing/learning to jump
"Playing" together

3 month Cheeeto


You were 3 months old yesterday, we didn't go to the dr this month so I don't know your official stats but I weighed you the other day and you were over 18 lbs!

Hands are usually clenched together playing with your fingers in front of you

Found your thumb to suck on :/ Trying to stop that one and get you to take the paci since we are having such a hard time getting Caden to stop sucking his fingers...but I don't think it is working

You LOVE to play Pat-a-cake...makes you smile and giggle :)

VERY ticklish...I love hearing you laugh as Daddy tickles you when he is getting you changed

So snuggly and loveable

Very interested in watching your big brother

Still waking up once at night to eat and eating about every 3 hours during the day

Daddy thinks you have big hands

Sunday morning

Just as we are about to leave for church Sunday morning, this is what happens...


They of course both had to get changed after that! :)
(but not before I got a picture)

"School"

The new school year has started. We had our first day at "school" (AKA Mother's Day Out) yesterday. Mommy goes to teach while the boys go to their classes. Overall, we had a good first day. Caden loved doing a handprint painting project, learning about Noah's Ark and had fun in music! And he of course loved playing with his friends and getting a treasure (a ball - it's actually the planet Uranus but he calls it a ball) from the treasure box! He also told his teacher that he was going to heaven, I think she was a little surprised by that. Noah did great too! I was able to feed him once and he took a bottle from his teacher for the next feeding!

2 months

Has it been 2 months already?! You are growing so fast!

At 2 months, you still sleep a lot but are starting to be more awake during the day. During the day you are still eating every 3 hours, but thankfully this week you started sleeping for 5-6 hours at night :) Mama loves that!

You spit up a lot, which means two things...burp cloths are very important and are everywhere around the house and it makes for a lot more laundry.

We went to the doctor and had to get 3 shots, you screamed until I picked you up. Mama's eyes watered a little bit too, I'm not sure if the shots are harder for you or me. :( You didn't run a fever or anything.

Stats from the doctor: 16 lb. 10 oz. and 25.5 in. long The nurse said that puts you in the 100th percentile! You are a big boy! You look it too! I just love all your rolls and your chubby cheeks! Everybody just wants to squeeze you! One day I noticed the bottom of your big toes felt like balls. Asked the doctor about it just to make sure nothing was wrong, but was assured that it is just fat! :)

Had to put away the 3 month and 3-6 month clothes. :( You are now in 6-9 month clothes.

Tolerating the bouncer for a little while, but you do not like being on your back. You found the animals above your swing, so now you will stay there for a little bit longer, maybe 15 minutes, while you "talk" to the animals. You started smiling around 5-6 weeks old but now you are smiling a lot more. You are making cooing noises to talk too! Love that!

You hate riding in your carseat. After only about 5-10 minutes, you scream the rest of the time and a paci does not help at all! :( Unfortunately we live 40 minutes away from church/school/friends houses so whenever we go to Greeneville, you scream for a half hour until we take you out of the carseat. I hate that I can't do anything to help you.

Your favorite position is to be cuddled up on someone's chest. You love to snuggle!!

Caden has nicknamed you Cheeto. I am not sure why he came up with that name, but that is what he has started calling you.

2 months old

Practicing holding your head up
Big brother likes to play with your toys
