You are three months old now! It has been so much fun having you around. You are constantly smiling and bring so much joy to our family. We had a great month!
We continued cheering on the Cardinals in the post season. They DID go to the World Series, but unfortunately they did not win this year. It was still a really fun season and even though we did not win this time, we are still batting 1000 on having kids and going to the World Series.
We also really enjoyed the end of mom's maternity leave. One day we went to Purina Farms with your brother and Grandma Gerry. It was a little bit chilly that day, but you stayed all snugglie in your car seat and in the Moby Wrap right next to mom. It was a great day watching the dog show and hanging out with Alex while he explored and played.
We also went to the pumpkin patch! You were such a trooper letting mom put you on all the pumpkins and propping you up for some cute photos. You are such a good baby! You only got upset one time. The rest of the time was just awesome!
Halloween was really fun this year too! Your brother is really into Curious George, so we dressed him up as the Man in the Yellow Hat and since you were a Monkey, we called you George. You and your brother looked so cute in your costumes! Alex just loved showing you off to all his friends and the family. We started the day at story hour at the library. Everyone oohed and ahhed over your costumes there. Then, that evening we went to Will and Harrison's house and then to Grandma Gerry and Paw Paw Rick's house to hang out with Alyssa. I took Alex out Trick or Treating, but you were the smart one staying inside that night since it was so cold and rainy!
As I mentioned before, your big brother just loves you so much. He loves showing you off to whoever he can. He loves to play with you too. I am so excited for you guys that you have a built in best buddy. I know you guys are going to love growing up together!
You are such a smiley little guy! You love to just smile and giggle all the time. Alex and I love to dance around the house and you just sit there and laugh like crazy! It's so much fun to have such a happy guy around all the time!
You are such a good sleeper too! You take great naps and you like to sleep right next to me at night. It's hard for me to place you in the bassinet, but sometimes I have to so I can get some sleep myself.
You continue to roll over from your tummy to your back all the time. You are also very strong and like me to pull you from laying on your back to a standing position. We went to the doctor for your 10 week check up and your stats were as follows:
Weight: 11 lbs 14 oz (40th percentile)
Length: 22" (10th Percentile)
(we think they messed up last time, you def. grew!)
Head Circumference: 15,2" (14th percentile)
Unfortunately mom had to go back to work at the end of your 3rd month. It has been a hard adjustment, but we are working though it. You seem to really like your babysitter, Becky. I miss you terribly when I am working,but I know this is what is the best for us. We will be making up for that time on the weekends!
Here are your 3 month pictures:
I love you so much my sweet Declan!
Love,
Mom
