3 months already?!

Nico will be 3 MONTHS OLD on Friday! He is such a fun, happy guy and has brought such joy to our lives! It seems like he has changed so much these past few weeks (I find myself saying that often) with more smiles/expressions, and cute little noises that are more frequent and drawn out. It's almost like he's "talking!"  When he is awake he likes to look around the room and follow people with his eyes. He kicks and swats with his hands at toys hanging over him, can hold objects, and has pretty good head control for sitting up as long as his body is supported. He found his thumb for the first time yesterday and loves it. He is still sleeping inconsistently though. One night he'll go a good 5-7 hours and then the next he's waking up every 3- boo!

 

He still sleeps so cute with his hands up above his head! When we go in his room to feed him or get him ready for the morning, he usually looks up at us with a big smile! Gotta love those moments.

He has started to go to Misty's 2x per week and hanging out with my mom 2x as well. That is going great. There are a few little ones that are a month or 2 older than him and the rest of the kids are toddlers. He gets a lot of interaction and works on developmental stuff too! I love that Misty sends us pictures and updates throughout the day...



We had a great time with my grandparents in town last week. My first week of the new job was slow so I had the opportunity to see them most days. They couldn't believe what a content baby he is. We had a family get together over at Uncle Neil's last Saturday and we just HAD to dress Nico up for his 1st big Michigan/Michigan St game!...

 

Dave's birthday was last Friday and him and Cindy came over to our house on Sunday to watch football and hang out. David made some impressive appetizers - lemon pepper wings, crab stuffed mushrooms, and steak bruschetta.

 

We totally forgot how old Dave was so this candle was fitting!

 

 

 That's about all that has been going on here in the last few weeks. My schedule is starting to steadily increase with the new job but I still will have plenty of time to be home with Nico. David is about to start up with his baseball team and hitting lessons so he will get a little busier too. We have been able to successfully keep the balancing act going!
