3 months old!

Yesterday I turned 3 months old. I didn't get a party or anything, but Grandma came over so that was kinda like a party. She took these pictures of me and my beloved mirror.

This morning I got a bath and none too soon, becuase about 2 hours after that our underground piping from our hot water heater broke and we don't have hot water. So then we took a field trip to Aunt Rachel's house so Momma could take a shower.

I didn't catch the whole sentence, but I think I heard Momma muttering something about, "If one more thing breaks in this house I'm gonna...." Jason the plumber and I have become quite good friends recently. He's been to my house more times than just about anyone since I've been born.

Well, I'm off to Betsy Chestnut's house. She's gonna keep me today while Momma goes to work since Mimi is on a cruise (adults get to have all the fun), Aunt Rachel is taking care of a sick Millie, and Grandma is working. I've met Miss Betsy before and she's a pretty fun lady so I think I'll have a good time. She's also got a grandson coming in a few weeks so I'm gonna give her a few pointers on grandparenting.

Daddy's Clothes!

Here I am sporting some of Daddy's clothes from when he was a baby.

I'm not really good at sitting up even if I'm propped.

I think these clothes make me look chunkier than I really am...but I still think I make them look good.

Around the house

What a happy boy I am

I'm not real big into this whole "Tummy Time" thing, but I can tolerate it if I can hang over the arm of the couch. I can play like I'm scouting for indians.

This is my "I'm not so sure about this" face. I love to be tickled but sometimes I can't decide if it's worth laughing or not.

One night, i'm ashamed to say, I was being a bit of a pill, and daddy finally tried this with me and I stopped crying. It reminds me of the scouting for Indians game and I like it.

From my previous posts you know I'm not too big into hats, but this one is so cute that sometimes I can tolerate it. I was being a bit squirmy.

The link above is to another video that Micah made. It's quite a bit longer, about 25 minutes or so, but it chronicles my mom's life from birth to death with parts of her testimony interspersed as she shared them at a Belhaven chapel service. Most of it is set to music. It's really neat.

He gives and takes away...

Micah made this music video awhile back and I

just ran across it and thought I'd share it.

diaper change AND clothes change...but still having fun!

Birht announcement

Here's Cole's birth announcement. I didn't order as many as I should have and I ran out, so thought I'd post one here in case whoever reads this doesn't get one :)

Today I managed to wear these overalls all day with no blowouts. My mother was proud.

Pride comes before a fall

Recently I've heard my momma talking about how I haven't had any blowouts yet and I'm over 2 months old. She was starting to sound a little cocky to me, so this morning I decided it had been long enough. I waited until she had decked me out in a little onesie and my cute overalls and was playing with me on her lap, and then I let her have it. Note that I DID wait until a Saturday when Daddy was home to help her clean me up. I actually got put in the BIG bathtub too! It was quite an exciting morning for me as you can imagine. They didn't seem quite as thrilled but that's of secondary importance. So, I got a bath, and below I'm sporting a new gift, a monogrammed towel. I'm pondering my next move....

It takes a good bit of work to produce what I did, though, so I needed a nap after all the festivities of the morning...

AND I got moved up to #2 diapers today too! The last few days have been a little leaky and this morning's extravaganza was the last straw for my #1 size. I'm getting so big....

I love myself!

Bumbos and Beds!

As you can see, my head control isn't quite good enough to fully enjoy my Bumbo seat which mommy put me in for the first time today. I still had a good time though(as you can also see)
Here I am, really making an effort to keep my head straight.

A A few nights ago I got moved to my own room and now sleep in my big-boy crib. Last night was the first night that I slept actually on the mattress of the crib instead of in my little rocker chair like I had been (a bad habit from my early days). I was so cozy in my little sleep sack and did wake up at 2:30 but I had a messy diaper so I don't think it should be counted against me. USUALLY I sleep for 7-8 hours each night now (unless something like the aforementioned happens)

I'm learning to play!

I get the biggest kick out of seeing my reflection in the mirror

Here's daddy and I all decked out in our favorite school clothes. I was so cute, in fact, that Momma took me up to Daddy's work so he could see me since this was my first time wearing this outfit.

Fortunately for him I don't spit up hardly ever or this would be a very dangerous game.

Part of the time I look at Daddy, and part of the time I watched tv which is right behind Daddy. It's kind've exciting!

I'm getting cuter!

Just hanging around the house being cute.

I'm looking very much like a big boy, aren't I?

But even big boys still like to cuddle with their Mommas. I sure do love sleeping like this. It's so cozy :)

Here's our happy little family. My Mississippi State onesie is courtesy of Aunt Jill for Christmas
