I'm TOO big......

..... to sit in my bouncy chair...... I'll be trying to climb out every chance I get, thank you....



..... for my binky..... I'd rather talk and laugh......



..... for some of my clothes (again!)......



..... to lounge around on my back like a "baby"......

..... to sleep swaddled..... well.... only sometimes...... ;)


..... to just sit around and watch, I like to be up with the big people (and hang out in the Bjorn).....


..... to lay on the floor and play..... I like to sit up and play......


..... to sleep on my back now that I know I can roll over......

He thinks he's a big boy now, and boy does he EVER let us know it sometimes!!!! =) Can't believe he's almost 4 months old already!!!! He's getting more and more mobile too - can't keep him out of our sight for even a second anymore!!!! =)

Houdini

This is one of our MANY nicknames for our little man........ why, you ask?

Well you see....... we swaddle him up nice and tight for all naps and at bedtime every night.........

..........yet somehow he manages to get his little feet out.........

..........and one or both hands..........

Our dilemma: we'd like to be able to NOT have to swaddle him to get him to go to sleep anymore, but that's the ONLY way we can get him to calm down at night (and for naps) and go to sleep (and stay asleep), as well as to keep him from getting his hands in his face and waking himself up constantly (AND pulling binky out of his mouth on accident). Are we going to have to swaddle him until he's in high school, or will he eventually outgrow this? Better yet, is there a trick to get your child to keep his hands out of his face while sleeping and calm down enough to go to sleep on his own to begin with? Anyone who's had this issue and has had success getting swaddle-free, we'd love to hear from you! Jen tried going swaddle-free (yet again!) during nap time today and it did NOT work out so well (yet again!)......

Three Months Old!

Our baby is 3 months old today. Where DOES the time go?

This past weekend we made the trek down to Albuquerque to have Noah meet his "New Mexico Family." It was fun to share his first Easter with them! Once again, he did fabulously in the car on the trip down there (his second road trip), and was an absolute angel the whole trip. He enjoyed being passed around and getting lots of love and attention. A few more months and they'll be welcoming a baby of their own into their family, so this was the most perfect way to give them a taste of what life will be like for them pretty soon here. ;)

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
