Three Months!

Levi, you are 3 months old today! We are having so much fun with you! Here are some things you've been doing this past month. 

- You love watching your big brother! When you sit in our laps at meals, you watch him eat and give great big smiles! You must think he's pretty interesting! I think you're going to be great friends!!

I can't seem to get enough of these brother pictures! 
- You weigh about 12.5 lbs. and are about 24 in. long! The 3 month pajamas are starting to get a little tight, lengthwise. Am I really going to have to get out 3-6 and 6 month clothes so soon?!?! 

- You are nursing every 2-3 hrs. Plus you usually eat 4-6 oz. of formula! I think you will like solid foods when we get started! 

- You usually take a morning nap around 9 am. The rest of the day doesn't have a schedule yet. But you are doing less cat napping and more solid naps.
What a cute sleeper! 

 - You play with your tongue a lot. You like smiling and sticking it out at me when I talk to you. You also drool quite a bit and continue to sleep with your mouth open. Love it!!
Zeke was saying, "Eyes. Eyes." 
- Your head control is getting better and you can lift up your chest during tummy time. 

- You like staring at light fixtures. And lights, of course. 

We love you so much little one. Time really is flying by and I'm trying my best to soak up these precious days with you! Before I know it, you'll be running around with your big brother and I'll miss these days of snuggles and baby smiles and kisses!

Snack time

asked him to go out on the deck. I went to the kitchen, got him a graham cracker and went back to find him like this. Love it! 
"Mo-om! Why are you taking more pictures?" 

To life...full of warm days on the deck!

How Little Boys Play

I told Zeke to take his cars out on the deck to play. After he came in, I looked out the window and they were all lined up like this ...

Recent Recipes

I have in fact been baking and cooking, and quite a few new things I might add! It has been great and kept us from eating out. At this time in life I don't take the time to photograph the steps or even the end result as I did in years past. But since some of the recipes we've tried recently have been pretty stellar I thought I'd at least share where I found the recipe so you can try them too, especially if you are in a rut like I was. Bon appetit!

Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken - Both Jeremiah and I agree that if we wanted Chinese takeout, we could make this at home and our craving would be satisfied. Zeke even asked for more! 
Chocolate Sugar cookies - I loved these! I think I shall make these every year for Valentine's Day!! 

I told you I was on a roll! Most of these I've made in just the past 2 weeks, and even twice! Try something new this week!

To life... full of new recipe wins!

Moving on up!

This week has contained quite a bit of change for our little family! 

First I put up the rest of Levi's newborn clothes and most of the 0-3 month ones as well. I think it was even harder this time around! In part because down in TX, Zeke wore several adorable short/sleeve outfits that Levi hasn't had the chance to here. But there are tons of cute 3 month outfits I'm excited to put him in! 


On Tuesday night we decided to cut Zeke's hair. I had let it grow all winter in hopes that it would turn curly again. It did some, but nothing like those baby curls before his first cut :/ 


Jeremiah did a good job cutting it! And now Zeke looks like another year older! Agh! My little boy is growing up, but it's ok. With it comes exciting changes and developments! Like counting to 13, saying his ABCs, following multiple step directions, bringing me the broom, singing songs with me, and feeding the cat! I'm a proud Momma! 

To life...full of hair cuts!

John Deere Man

Who is this grown up boy? 

And when did he learn to be such a cute little model?
Happy Friday!
