3 Months Old!!








I'm in awe of how quickly time flies by! Ryan is already 3 months old! About a year ago, I had just found out I was pregnant and now I get to cuddle with my little boy every day! What a difference a year can make.
Ryan is growing so fast and changing so much. I love when he wakes up in the morning and I go in his room to get him. I unswaddle him and he stretches so big like he is rediscovering all his limbs, then he looks at me and smiles as big as he can. It's the best!
He loves playing on his playmat, its the first thing he plays with in the morning. He can grab the toys now, pull on them and put them in his mouth. The toy has a mirror on it and when he spots himself he smiles, its really cute! He lies on his back and scoots himself either up or down. He just loves kicking his little legs.
His tummy time must be paying off, he can now lift his head to about 90 degrees. He's getting really strong. Usually he is lazy during tummy time and he just tries to eat the blanket he is lying on, but when he is lying on his tummy on my chest, he lifts his head all the way up to look at my face.
He is laughing and cooing and he smiles back at you if you smile at him. He loves to be sung to and loves when his daddy reads to him at night.
This boy has so much energy, he's a little mini Joe. Joe and I both agree that we are really in for it when he starts to walk. Actually, I think he will skip crawling and walking all together and just start running! We will see!

I'm a Stay at Home Mom!!!

After weeks and weeks of the dreaded first day of work... Joe and I decided that I was not going to go back. It was a really hard decision and will definitely take a lot of sacrifice on both ends, but we are totally willing to do whatever it takes. The thought of leaving him was awful! I feel so blessed to be able to stay home every day with my sweet boy! He gets bigger everyday and is doing new things every time I turn around. He smiles and coos all the time, its the most adorable thing I have ever seen!
I packed up all of his newborn outfits that no longer fit him. Then shortly after I packed them up, I took them all back out and put them back in Ryan's closet. If thats not denial that this boy is getting bigger, I don't know what is! I know, I am insane! My favorite outfit of his no longer fits, so what do I do? I go to Macy's and I buy it in the 3 month size... and 6 month. Yup, crazy.
I can honestly say that I have never been happier in my whole life. God's blessings are just surrounding me each day and I couldn't be more thankful!
