3 months old


Dear Little Man,
Well Mr. Jaxon, you are three months old already!!!!! It is sooooo hard to remember what life was like with just the two of us, but it is still unbelievable that that much time has passed us by already.
The past month has been full of activities. We stared our infant program on Thursday mornings, and you will graduate from it next week. We also started a Baby Beats program on Wednesday mornings, and we are 2 weeks into that. It is a great morning out for mom, because she can exercise while still incorporating you into it. It is nice know that the snow has come, because we are not getting out for our daily walks like we had been.
You also celebrated your first Halloween this month. You dressed up as a teddy bear, and the cutest little teddy bear that I have ever seen with you cousin Reed coming in as a close second. It was just by chance that they two of you got the same costume, but it was sooooo cute. We took the two of you out in the afternoon to Grandmas work, and then to Great Grandma and Grandpa McLaughlin’s together. After auntie Trish and Reed went home, we had a lot of places to go our self. You were one tired little boy after all of your trick or treating, and spent the night at your Gammie and Gampa’s that night. You also had your first sleep over at your Grandma and Grandpa McLaughlin’s this month, and you were wonderful.
Along with your first Halloween, you also celebrated your Gampa’s 54th birthday, Addy’s 3rd birthday, and your Gammie's 50th birthday. You were a very busy boy with lots of parties to attend this past month.
As for your sleeping, you must know that you mommy and daddy really like their sleep. You have been going to bed around 10:00p.m. and sleeping right through until 8:00a.m. In the past week I have been noticing that you have been taking a long nap before your last bottle, so you are maybe wanted to start to go to bed earlier and we will start to try that tonight. You usually take a little ½ nap in the morning and then you like to have a long nap in the afternoon ranging anywhere from 1½ -3½ hours. It usually seems that the days that I would like to get some things done are the days that you do not want to take a nape, and the days that I am willing to lay down beside you for a rest are the ones that you will sleep all afternoon. You are stared to take your naps in your crib know, as I think that you have stared to out grow your cradle.
You have had a bout of thrush this past couple of weeks, but we have been giving you your medicine and it seems to be clearing up. It is a good thing that this medication thing will not have to last that much longer because you really do not like to take it. We had to take you to doctor a week ago for the thrush and they weighed you. You were tipping the scales at 14lbs.6oz. We were also there on October 25th to get your needles, which you took like a champ. At that time you were weighing 13lbs., and were 59cm long.
You love lay on the floor and kick and coo and ca. You love to play with your Elmo play center on the floor as well. You have stared to take a real interest in your other toys in the past week as well, especially the ones that have lights and sounds to them. You are stared to grab at stuff, and will hold it in your hand for a while as well. You are full of smiles when you wake up and will just sit there and talk and smile with me for quite a long time before you loose interest and want to start something else. You have also stared to take an interest in the television over the past couple of week. You really do not pay much attention to it during the day, but at night when it is dark and it lights up in the living room, you will lie there and watch all the bright motions.
We have started to go to church almost every Sunday, and you are the perfect little angle through the whole service. People often commend you on your behavior on our way out after it is over. You are very good everywhere we seem to take you, though it seems that if it in the evenings you really like to be in your own home and cuddle with your mom. We have been out a couple of nights and you will not settle for anyone but me. It makes me feel great, but your auntie Cara is starting to get a complex and your dad says that you better not be starting to become a mommy sucks….but I say that it is ok if you want to be.
Well this next month is going to be a busy one with preparations for your first Christmas and also you’re Baptism in a couple of weeks. We have already got your Christmas tree up, but you and me will have to some baking, and shopping, and lots of wrapping….so we will have a full schedule.
Well little man, this has been the fastest 3 months of my life. I love you more and more each day and you melt my heart every time I get to see you, hold you, and squeeze you. I love you sooooo much,
Love, Mommy

Sandi, tell Curtis he may not have a choice about the Mama's boy thing. I have not met a Mom yet who has a boy under 7 that doesn't say that he "loves his Mommy" unlike anything they experience with their daughters. This is not to say that our daughters do not love us, but they seem to show us in a completely different way.
