Month by Month

3 Months

• Deacon- you are 3 months old!!!
  
  
• You weigh about 14.5 lbs. & are 24 inches long.
  
  
• You are still wearing a size 2 diaper, and can fit into clothes from 3-9 months depending on the brand.
  
  
  

• You helped me celebrate my first Mother's Day as a mommy to 2 this month! Your dad gave me the best gift: a weekend of sleeping through the night and breakfast in bed.
  
  
• Your firsts this month consisted of you rolling over from front to back, laughing, and just recently trying cereal.
  
  
• Mealtime has stayed about the same as last month with you drinking between 4 and 6 ounces at each feeding.
  
  

• We are starting to learn some of your habits and they crack us up. You scrunch your nose before you smile, you always sneeze in threes, and anytime the car is moving you are asleep.
  
  
• You are communicating with us more and more. Your favorite thing to say is "Ah-Goo" and you sound like you are yelling "Maaa" when you cry, which makes me think my name will be the one you scream when you are upset. lol
  
  

• You love sitting up and standing in our laps, which means when we aren't holding you, your favorite hangouts are your bouncer and bumbo. You also still love the bath and are now adventurous enough to do a little splashing!
  
  
• The bigger you get the more excited Carson gets to play with you! He can't wait until y'all can go outside together and play with his toys.
  
  
• Most nights you only wake up once, and your carseat is still your favorite place to sleep, but you can fall asleep just about anywhere.
  
  
  
  

Night of the Dragon

Every year our school has a themed service award to honor Teacher of the Year, Retirees, and people who have years of service in increments of 5. This years it was "Night of the Dragon," so everyone had on their Asian themed attire. Part of our school went as ninjas, there was a whole school that made up a dragon, and our 8th grade math department went as rice field workers. As always, our table had a blast! Our school left empty handed, not even a door prize was won, but we weren't bitter... ;)

I LOVE our school, and especially the best math department EVER!!

Happy Mother's Day!

12 Weeks

(Dada is holding you from behind in this picture, since you can't quite sit up by yourself yet)

This week you hit another milestone by laughing for the first time. We are now working hard every day to hear your laugh again and again!

Bouncy Babies

The picture above is Carson as a baby enjoying his Jumperoo.

Fast forward 4 years - Deacon will now stiffen his legs and is starting to do a little bouncing when held in a standing position on your lap. This was enough motivation to pull down the bouncer from the attic to give it a try.

He loved it.

Our Texas Boy

This morning Carson was eating breakfast before his soccer game. In between bites he looks at me and says "When I grow up I want to do science, be a coach...and ride a bull."

Lord, help me.
