Happy 3-Month Birthday!

Today, ADub is 3 months old; can you believe that three months have already gone by?  We have finally gotten used to our new lives as parents and love every moment of it!  Happy birthday, little nugget.

Here's what has happened this month....

  • ADub is becoming a pro at using his hands; sometimes he even grabs on to what he's reaching for.
  • He loves reading....or at least listening to us read to him.  Some of his favorites are The Pout-Pout Fish and, in keeping with the season, The Night Before Christmas.
  • He started learning the Spanish alphabet in addition to the English one.  He sings along with you but still doesn't seem to know the words.
  • ADub has been listening to some Christmas tunes such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Walking in a Winter Wonderland.  All of which make him smile.....because smiling's his favorite.
  • He talks non-stop, even to strangers.  No worries, he hasn't accepted candy from any of them.  He doesn't have teeth, people, come on.
  • For some crazy reason, ADub is transfixed on the television whenever Frozen is playing.  I mean who doesn't like a little Olaf or Let It Be in their life?
  • ADub has said "Mommy" once, but it was during a scream fit and could have been a total accidental usage of sounds.
And now for the snapshots....

He attended his 1st ugly Christmas sweater party.

The party was followed by the Spit-up-tastrophy of 2015.

Such a ladies man.

Working on our family selfie....Conquered.

This is not a doll.  This is my child.  We call him Adub.

Cheese!

Hanging with Nana.

Feeling up dinosaurs.

Maya and ADub time.

Daddy is hilarious.

May the force be with you....

What a smirk.

Got spit-up on my threads, and I just don't care.

Infectious smiles....I bet you're smiling right now.

The Christmas tree lights are AHHHH-mazing!

He loves his hippo

Christmas is the bomb! <fist pump>

Christmas with Grandma B and Pops

ADub plays a mean rattle....(when he isn't sucking on them)
Deep thoughts....by the fire.

He thought it was hilarious that he was in his PJ's and we were all dressed up.
Love my family!

Happy 2-Month Birthday!

ADub is officially 2 months old today.  Happy birthday, little dude!  You make life exhaustingly awesome, and we are so grateful that you have shown us a different way of looking at our every days.  

Here's what has happened this month.....
  • He has slept for as long as 5 hours!!!  Mommy could hardly function the day after because she wasn't used to having so much sleep.
  • ADub has become more aware than ever.  He will follow you walking across the room and look at you when you ask for his attention.
  • The little guy loves to hear show tunes (they may be the only songs Mommy knows).  Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera frequents bedtime lullabies.
  • Pops has been teaching him addition, and I am pretty certain that he currently is doing mental math....If only we could read his mind.
  • He has started to find his hands and loves to pull Mommy's and Maya's hair.  Maya very much appreciates it.
  • Rolling over has happened so many times that I've stopped counting.
  • ADub has high-fived his Pops and fist bumped his daddy, although both were most likely accidents.  I mean I accidentally high-five people all the time.

And now what you've all been waiting for....
Action shot.  This kid loves his play time.
ADub and Pops spend serious bonding time over episodes of The Voice.
Mommy kisses.
Time for a walk!
Helping me with the blog.
He met another one of his Great-Grandma's.
Squirrel hunting with Maya.
Our first journey into a public place.  Where, you may ask?  City Barbecue....dur.
Father-son time.
Meeting one of his Uncles.  He was a first-timer for baby holding....Can you tell??
Very astute.
I'm making him "man up" early with Craftsman tools.
This is precisely why you don't leave babies unattended....because they will attempt to suffocate themselves.
Glamour shots.
Two peas.
Zzzzzz.....
Zzzzz....
What's the phrase?....Thug life.
Asked the lady to get our totally adorable family in front of the Xmas tree....just can't trust anyone these days.
Total Zzzzzz.....
Peek-a-boo:  Whoa!  Where'd he go?!?!?!
Calvin Klein has already extended an offer.  We're working on the details.
