three months

Deer in .... I mean, me in Declyn's face (and him clearly confused) while hubs tries to get our three month shot.  Just looking from my two month post to this post, I can't believe how much he has changed.  I know he does it daily, but it's surreal to take a moment and actually look back at him as a fresh babe and the changes he has made to this day.

Having your child recognize (and acknowledge / reward with smiles) is one of the greatest feelings in the world.  As of now, there's nothing more precious then when I or Mike talk to him and he smiles, coos or sometimes even laughs at us.  His current favorite thing to laugh and talk at is the ceiling fan while he's laying on the couch.  I'm not sure what sort of relationship those two have going on, but if it makes him happy, I'm all for it!

At three months we can't live without...

1. a wubbanub to keep him calm (if you can't already tell, this one will stay at the top for awhile... although his fist is coming in a close second)

2. our whale bath tub 

3. a pack 'n play to sleep in (note: while we're making the transition from pack 'n play to crib, I have started to use the crib sheets on the pnp, hoping he will recognize the scent and become better adapted with his crib)

4. the sheep sleep sound for night time (don't laugh, but I just realized that there is a "big" sheep that attaches to the crib... whoops!)

5. a sleeping bag by Aden + Anais -- hello freedom of the arms!

6. my nephew's book - Ten Little Ladybugs (he loves the colors)

7. this crazy but extremely eye-catching peacock 

8. our newest friend -- octoplush

9. tummy time and sensory development combo - zoo activity gym
