Kissy Monster

Wake in his Kissy Monster Halloween Costume

Three months and one Week

Wow, he is a growing boy! We are finally into our fourth month and all kinds of new tricks are going on. Unfortunately, we have taken 2 steps back with his night sleeping habits and are hoping this is only temporary or I may become a zombie after awhile! Must have sleep to function...

I just weighed Wake today and he is about 13.5 lbs. now. He has begun to get more hand control and loves to grab at the little hair I seem to have left these days (due to some post-partum hair loss!). He loves to chew on his fingers and drool all down his front. Those fingers sure are tasty to him. He likes to talk about all kinds of stuff. He can just talk, talk, and talk more. I just pretend I have a clue what he is saying. This week he has gotten really close to sitting up on his own (once propped up of course) but for now he still needs some pillow or back support. He loves to stand up with the help of mom and dad as he has got some strong chubby legs. Wake is eating well as usual. The boy never misses a meal!

In fact he has started waking again multiple times in the night and does not want to go back to sleep. We are going to be working on this little problem over the next week. What makes his night sleep worse is that he will not sleep during the day either! This is the first nap he has taken this week that has lasted more than 30 minutes. There is just no telling when he is going to wake up crying. Well, just a little info about what is going on. I suppose i should try to rest a bit while he is sleeping...

Pictures with the 200lb. Pumpkin

At Anytime Fitness, where I used to work, the manager brought in a 200 lb. pumpkin for a customer appreciation day. We took some photos there of Wake in his "Kissy Monster" outfit. Is he not the cutest thing ever????

Month 3 Random

As he has gained more head control he has taken begun to sit in the high chair while we are in the kitchen. He likes it!

Pumpkin Patch

This was Wake's first trip to the pumpkin patch. I thought we were going to support local farmers and buy a local pumpkin but they ship them in from New Mexico! Go figure! We got some little ones just as a thanks for letting us take photos in your patch!

Sleeping and Happy Babies Make You Smile!

Busy week but now we're home

Wake is now 11 weeks old. We just spent last week up in the beautiful fall colored mountains getting ready for his aunt C's wedding which was on Saturday (and lots of fun and very, very nice). Wake had a hard time getting settled as every time he was put into his room alone he would wail. He really thought he was going to miss out on some good times and wanted to be part of the action at all times. There were many of walks up and down the dirt road that lead to the house. One morning we saw two huge rainbows and a pack of wild turkeys. Different scenery than we have here at home! We are home now and had a good night of rest and a nice nap this morning. Hopefully we can get back into our routine and mom can get some sleep.

Over the past two weeks Wake's newest developments are "talking" more, starting to hold onto objects (not sure he even knows he is holding them), laughing, controlling his head almost fully when sitting up (assisted), getting closer and closer to being able to sit up, kicking his legs around like crazy, and basically just being the cutest thing ever! He gets more fun every day.
