3 Months!

Hello!  We are now three whole months old!  That is one quarter of one YEAR!  Thankfully, I can honestly say that time hasn't really flown by, but it still seems incredible that Henry is a three month old baby.  I think I had a weird mindset that newborn babies are helpless and non-interactive for quite awhile, but it has been a very pleasant surprise to see so much development happening already.  We have a lot to look forward to, as well!

At three months, Henry is smiling a LOT, especially at his parents.  His day care teachers informed me he wouldn't smile for the photographers at school pictures, but I don't blame him for being somewhat skeptical of strangers.  You can't be too careful in this day and age!  Gramma came out for a much-needed visit the first weekend of November and got lots of snuggle time in.  We also purchased an activity mat for him and he's really enjoying the bright colors, and the mirror that came with that as well as the one that Gramma bought him. Can you really blame him for being so vain?  He has had a bit of the crud (picked up at day care) for about two weeks but he's been nothing but smiley and happy throughout.  He was kind enough to share said crud with Mommy, who now has a sinus infection, but is on the mend.  I will say it was very difficult losing my voice as I couldn't talk or sing to him for a couple of days.  Thankfully he still recognized me and I got lots of healing smiles.  Overally, he's just really becoming a super FUN baby boy.  It's fun to read to him and have him be interested, see him grab and hold toys, and watch him take in the world around him.  Seems like those early newborn pet rock days were eons ago already. 

Chad wants me to add that we have snow in the mountains.  We are really looking forward to our first road trip with Henry (and Lacy!) to Kansas City in a week and a half.  We are anticipating a lot of quality downtime with family there.

Got some keys for my 3 month birthday!

Still really interested in those phalanges.

Sick days from work aren't quite as bad when you have this guy to watch.
