Screaming and a Lovey

I debated even posting this, but if I only posted the good things, I wouldn't be posting about our real life, ha!

Screaming can be heard frequently at our house these days. Lawson is still happy as ever and plays so well, but instead of just being fussy when he gets tired, he has learned that he can scream when he doesn't get his way. Uh-oh! Here are a few faces that can be found at our home...


I know, I know...bad mommy for taking pictures of this. But he really is such a happy baby that I wanted proof that he does cry too! :) He really HATES to be burped now and when he is tired instead of his usual fussing, he screams. Those are pretty much the only two times he screams, but I have to admit that I am NOT loving his new found screaming freedom. Hopefully it passes quickly. Then of course we'll be on to teething and he will scream because of that. Always something, huh? :) Good thing he's cute!

Lawson's Honey (day care provider) got him a Lovey for Christmas. He LOVES it!! He likes to hold it and really loves having it for nap time. Here are some pictures of Lawson and his Lovey.


He just LOVES his Honey and Chris and I are so grateful that he spends each day with someone who truly loves on him like we would if we could be home with him. She is a Godsend and we are thankful she is in Lawson's life.


I think Lawson may be getting this for a last minute Christmas gift. Some friends were discussing this today, and I really like the idea of it. I have a few of the Fisher Price apps on my phone and Lawson seems mesmerized by them, so I think being able to just hand him the phone instead of holding it for him (eventually) will be great!


Here are some photos of Lawson that just make me laugh. It's bittersweet to see him learning new things. I love that he is growing and developing, but I wish time wasn't flying so fast. We try to soak up every minute with him so that we don't miss anything!

He was supposed to be sleeping here...obviously he was not, ha! He is so funny and usually at night when Chris and I are exhausted and ready to go to bed is when Lawson brings out his cheesiness. He just smiles and laughs and we crack up. He must know that momma and daddy can't get mad at him when he's hamming it up, ha!

A little glimpse of my boy's sweet smile.

"The flash is way too bright, Mom!"

We can't wait to spend the first Christmas with our sweet boy! It will definitely be one to remember. :)

THREE!!!!

Lawson, you are THREE months old!

Here is what you are up to:

• You wear size 0-3 months clothes and I don't see that changing anytime soon! We may have to go up in sleepers and pants just because of the length, but as far as chunk, you have room to grow!
• You wear a size 1 diaper.
• You are about 11.5 pounds and 24" long!
• You are such a little person now! You smile and interact with us, and definitely have your own little personality.
• You LOVE your play mat! You lay on it and smile at your toys, or kick them, and you LOVE to hold your ball and stick it in your mouth.
• You have discovered your hands and they are ALWAYS in your mouth!
• You ROLLED OVER (tummy to back) this month! That's how much you hate tummy time!! (video below)
• You LOVE daycare, and have made lots of friends there. All the little girls there are so sweet with you and are your little mommies. Your friend Beaux is the only other boy!
• You are on a GREAT schedule, and you sleep all night! We feed you at 9 pm, and then you are asleep between 10 and 10:30, and we wake you up again at 6 am to eat!
  
• You eat 5 ounces every 3 hours! You are a little piglet, even though you aren't chunky. Your pediatrician calls you "slim!" Haha!
• One of my favorite parts of the day is when Daddy is talking to you and he doesn't realize I'm listening. You "talk" back to him and smile at him, and it is the sweetest interaction.
• You nap ok at daycare in your pack n play, but your 4:30 pm nap is ALWAYS on mommy, and I LOVE it! It's what I look forward to every day and what I can't wait to leave work for!
  

Here are some pictures and a video, in a very random order...

ROLLING OVER!

Play time!

You have changed SO much! I can't believe it! I wish you would just slow down and be little forever! Daddy thinks I'm crazy and can't wait until you are big enough to hunt! :)

Happy 3 months beautiful baby boy! You are our joy, and we can't wait to see what new things you will do this month!
