3 months!

Ahh!  I can't believe my little baby is already 3 months old!  He's no longer considered a newborn... crazy.  I guess all that really means is that now we're supposed to be encouraging good habits.  (At least that's what the books say!  No more "spoiling"!  Apparently habits stick from here on out--the good and the bad!)  So, we've been well on our way to trying to establish a good sleep, wake and eating routine.  So far, so good.

We've moved William out of his bassinet and into his big crib.  To me, his crib mattress still seems way too hard to be comfortable, but William made the adjustment way better than I did.  Of course :)

We've also stopped swaddling him, since he's now strong enough to wiggle out of it anyway.  (I swear, the kid never stops kicking!)  Plus, he loves sleeping with his hands up :)


And we've now moved on to a more fun and entertaining wake time!  He's so interactive, smiley and funny!  It's such a blast.

We play in the jumpy (even though I'm still way too small)...



We watch the ILLINI... 

We watch Mom & Pawn cook...

We practice standing...
Look! No hands!

We chill in the bumbo...

We hang out with Pawn...

We do some tummy time...

(while mom tries out cool new photo features on her ipad...)

(sorry, again, about the middle finger!)

We work on sitting...

(which isn't always so successful...)

We make funny faces...

We giggle...


Basically, we spend a lot of time just being cute...






But naturally, all of that fun awake time leads to being pretty exhausted!




Uh oh... he sleeps like his mom!

 It's getting pretty hot over here, so that means naked nap time!

Man, I could kiss that face all day!

The only time these feet are still is when he's sleeping :)

And last but not least, we took a few family pics today for our annual report letter.  I won't post the one we're gonna use (that would ruin the surprise), but here are a few random fun ones!




Where's my smiley baby???

William refused to smile the entire photo shoot, so we tried to pull out all the tricks...

A glimpse of the days to come... wiping William's face off and him saying, "Moooooom! Stop it!"

Letting William take a break...

Hmm.. still no smile.

Better luck next time.  :)
