3 months old...

I can’t believe how fast time flies. Our little boy is 3 months old and everyday he does something new that surprises us. He can hold his head up by himself for long periods of time. He smiles and laughs all the time. He is definitely showing his personality. He can entertain himself for a little bit while we try and get things done around the house. He still likes to be held when he is getting sleepy, which is ok with me. He’ll follow his rattle with eyes and turn to the sound of it. He likes to play patty-cake and peak-a-boo, also Godzilla (Jason likes to make Godzilla noises when Braydon stomps his feet). He likes to grab his feet, which comes in handy when we are trying to change his diaper. He’ll sleep through the night waking up at least once around 3am. His usual bed time is around 10:30pm, enough time to see Daddy come home from work and play with him a bit. He is in the stage where he likes to roll over any time he is on his back. It used to take him a while before he would roll but now he has become a pro. He likes to watch SportsCenter with Daddy too, he’s captivated by it. He’s so well behaved when we go out to Church or other events, he just sits there quietly and he’ll only fuss if he’s hungry, tired, or needs a change. He’s drooling quite a bit now which makes me think that teething will come and ruin his sleeping pattern but I guess that’s something we should prepare for.

I went back to work the day after Easter and it was a hard week. The first day I had a couple of break downs and couldn’t wait to be home to see him again. Since then I’ve gotten better, I still can’t wait to go home and see him but it’s getting easier to leave him with relatives who love him. Kali has been watching him whenever Jason was scheduled to work, on Thursdays I would take off early in the morning to bring him down to Brittany’s. So I feel lucky to have such great family who take good care of him while I am unable to do so. My biggest fear was that Braydon wouldn’t remember me, but it doesn’t seem to faze him at all. He still gives me the biggest smiles when I come home.
