3 months old!

I can't believe my baby boy is 3 months old today. Time certainly does fly by! Its been a pretty fun month for us. He's changed so much in appearance and personality. He's so alert and fun to play with and talk to.

He's still my cuddly little boy who likes to snuggle with mommy when he sleeps!


He's so interested in his hands and feet. He'll go cross-eyed staring at his fists and often punches himself in the eye since he has no depth perception yet.


He really enjoys his bathtimes now! Unlike the days of screaming his head off, he now finds them very soothing. Often when he's having a 'Melt-down evening' I can simply put him in the tub and he calms right down!


Its been a month of firsts - first smiles (real smiles), first coos, first cold, and below was the first display of the middle finger!


I love this picture. He was having a stick-my-tongue-out-and-smile day. I was just lucky enough to have a camera nearby (as I always do). What a cutie!

Tiny Dancer

Okay - so I bought this activity center weeks ago but Brenden couldn't stand it. Well I noticed him playing under one at daycare and decided to give it another try today. He loved it!! He was kicking and cooing and just having a great time! He looks like he's dancing to the music. You've got to check out the videos!

My little smiley

Ahh the time has finally arrived where my little guy smiles at me all the time. Its just the most wonderful thing. They come at the most unexpected times too. This morning he was congested and I aspriated his nose and though he seemed to hate the process, the minute I got his nasal passages clear he looked at me and just smiled a big smile as if to say "thanks mom!"

And here's a little video of him letting out one of his cutie smiles.

I am working full time now. Its been tough as far as the sleep goes, but work has been fairly easy on me. Brenden seems to be adjusting to daycare just fine. They always tell me what a sweet baby he is. He loves to be held and cuddled and often when I go to pick him up there's somebody in there snuggling with him in the rocking chair. I wish that could be me cuddling with him all day long! I still get to go over and feed him during my lunch. That is nice. He is gettting a *little* better about sleeping. He still wakes up often in the night, but its easy enough to feed him and put him right back down. It didn't used to be like that. Mommy had to hold him ALL night long. Hooray for small victories :)

Here is a picture in one of his gowns. I will use this to humiliate him when he is a teenager :)
