3 Months Old!

****I started this blog post a few weeks ago, so he is closer to 4 months old now.  Oops!****

My sweet baby boy is 3 months old!  Time has flown by, and we are having so much fun!  Billy celebrated his 32nd birthday on the 24th, and we decided this would be a good time to "break in" the babysitters...AKA Mimi, RaRa, Grandma Kitty, and Grandpa Rich.  Friday night, Mimi and RaRa watching Mason, Evan, and Julia so Blake, Sarah, Billy, and I could go have some dinner and dessert.  We enjoyed some good adult time, and I know my parents loved being with all of the grandkids.  Saturday night, Grandma Kitty and Grandpa Rich watched Mason while Billy and I had our first date night, just the two of us, since Mason was born.  We indulged in some yummy sushi (first time to eat some in over a year!) and went to see The Lion King 3D.  It was just as good, maybe better since the first time I saw it 17 years ago (WOW!).  Not that I haven't seen it about 75 times in those 17 years...it's my favorite Disney movie!  I joined a MOPS group (Mothers of Preschoolers) and a Bible study, and am enjoying meeting other great moms and building a better relationship with God! 

Back to Mason...

He has so much personality now!  He loves to smile, and loves to mimic your smile.  He loves his tummy to be tickled, and loves for you to lift him up and down over your head.  He is really interacting more with his walker, and starting to manipulate buttons and knobs on his own.  I ordered him a jumperoo, and I'm so excited to see how he likes it.  He has rolled over from tummy to back more times, but not very interested from back to tummy.  He's definitely a drooler...gets that from his momma (hey, just trying to find SOMETHING that he gets from me!).  He loves to squeal, and is laughing more each day.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that sound!!!  He's still not the biggest fan of his car seat.  He's a social little guy...he'd rather be interacting with YOU!   He's still an awesome sleeper.  He does naps in his crib, but still sleeping in our room at night.  All in all, he is one stinkin' cute, precious, sweet, beautiful, fun, adorable little boy, and we're absolutely in love!

Here is a video that I caught of him laughing.  Funny thing about it...Billy makes fun of me because I can't really do strawberries (is that what you call it?) on his belly very well.  So in the video, you can hear my attempt to do it.

Happy birthday Billy!

 A little late in posting (since his birthday was September 24th) but apparently, that's my style.  First birthday as a dad.  Life is good.  Here are a few pictures of Billy and his mini-me.  :)

A happy, elated dad running on zero hours of sleep.  :)

Billy and Marc (with Olivia)...friends since Kindergarten

We love you!!
