3 months old!

My baby is 3 months old!  Crazy!  He weighs in at a healthy 14 lbs, 2 oz, not sure if that is big or not considering that this was a home weighing.  Some of the cool things he does:


  • LOVES to talk (read coo).  I can only imagine what he will be like at 2.  I may never have a moment of silence again.  Depeche Mode really knew what they were singing about


  • LOVES to smile.  Mostly at Mama, but we are now starting to share smiles with others.  I love the toothless grins.


  • LOVES big brother.  Thank goodness the feeling is mutual!  Every morning they lay next to each other and share special time, staring at each other and communicating.  It is about the sweetest thing I ever did see.


  • Practically sitting up on his own.  You can tell he is trying really hard.  He also does amazing leg lifts.  My kid is going to have awesome lower abs.


  • Sleeps pretty much through the night.  Of course, I'm am no longer sleeping straight.  I am not sure if I ever will again.

I know I am biased, but I do think he is the sweetest little boy ever.  It is going to be really hard going back to work.  Blast you shoe addiction!!!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is the ultimate holiday for kids, and being almost 3 months old does not exclude you from the festivities.  Friday prior, we were lucky enough to test drive our costume in a Halloween parade at Scrumpy's school.  Being almost 75 degrees it was quite challenging to be wrapped up all cozy, but our little heat monster took it all in stride.  On Saturday, we went to Nana and Papa's house to trick or treat with cousins.   Of course, by the time we wanted to go out, neither of my boys wanted to put their costumes on.  Thank goodness for "Plan B".  While the number of houses we visited were few (only four I believe), each of the houses gave full sized candy bars!  Maybe that's why my boys were so cranky in the evening...the down from the sugar high.





Who is the cutest dog ever?

Wine Tasting

This little guy is less than 3 months old and I think he has been wine tasting at least 3 times! I guess we are training them early. For Patrick's birthday this year, we decided to go all out and get a limo to do the tastings right. While big brother spent the day with his aunties, Possum got to ride his first limo! All in all he was a very good boy, taking in all the sights, being very good lunch, and more importantly going to be early so the adults could enjoy the evening.
