I'M 3 MONTHS OLD!!

WEIGHT:  13lbs
FAVORITE TOY:  Still loves the jungle mat.  He would sit under that thing for hours if you let him.  And he will "talk" so much while he is under it.  Sometimes the talking turns into shouting because he's so excited
FAVORITE ACTIVITY:  Loves watching his bro.  He stares at him and smiles all the time.  Loves talking and smiling
MILESTONE:  Holding his head up almost on his own.  He can now face forward in the Bjorn which he loves!  He 'stands' up too.  When I have him on my lap he will lock his legs so  he is in a standing position.
DISLIKES:  Tummy time.  He used to love it and now seems to get frustrated when he is on his tummy.  Starting to really dislike the car seat as well.
SLEEP PATTERNS:  So about a week and a half ago we graduated to his big boy crib. So now he sleeps in his very own room and guess what?  He sleeps so much better which means WE sleep so much better.  He is in bed around 8...wakes up around 2 to eat, then right back asleep...and then he is up at around 6.  Usually I can feed him again, take him back to our room, and he cuddles with me on my chest until around 7.  Ryden crawls in bed with us also so the whole fam is in our bed from 6-7 for a sleep in session.
We are in such a good routine now.  Took a few months to establish it but we are rockin' it.  My boys are amazing. I am a lucky mama

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we stayed in Cali for turkey day and our friends came to visit from Reno.  Scott and Leslie have a 6 month old daughter who shares a birthday with Ryden.  We had so much fun with them and Ryden loved little Annika.  The day after Thanksgiving we took them to Sea World which was decked out for Christmas.  Too bad it felt more like summer.  It was about 80 degrees!

Posing by all the Christmas stuff

Trev is almost holding his head up completely so he was able to face forward in the Bjorn.  Loved it!  He could see everything

Checking out some polar bears, walrus's, and other sea life

Ryden LOVED watching the Atlantis ride.  He would crack up and yell when the ride plummeted down the hill and made a big splash.  Once, he even stood to close to the splash zone and got a little wet

And of course the Shamu show.  Once again, Ryden loved watching Shamu soak everyone.  Thought it was the funniest thing

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving but missed Teresa, Mel, and Nick.  They were all sick (and I was too!)  Dang flu season!

Tucson

Jason had to go to China for a week so I headed to Tucson for some family time.  Ryden loved hanging with the cousins and I loved having help with the two boys while Jason was gone.  Here are the many things we did

We went and saw a real Choo Choo train.  Too bad the loud whistle scared the daylights out of the kids

We rang the train bell

We loved on Trevin

We enjoyed the 'old cactus'

We went to church and played in the rain

We hung out with GG and Papa

We celebrated 40th wedding anniversary's and Papa's birthday with homemade angry bird cards

We skyped Dada all the way in China

Smiles

Partied with Marcy

And helped make cinnamon rolls (or just eat the frosting)
