3 Months

Bradley has grown up and changed so much even just within the last month.

- has found his hands and loves to eat them especially his thumb
- loves tummy time and started holding his head up so good around 9 weeks
- still the kickiest, wiggliest baby around
- talks ALL the time.
- loves to arch his head back in order to see everything!!
- smiles and laughs (he's a good performer for when he firsts meets people he smiles like crazy). Smiles with his whole body(arms and legs and shoulder shrugs)
- hates the car. Not the carseat but actually being in the car. He'll start whining the moment we close the door.
- started sleeping 6-8 hours a night until recently. He's regressed back to 3 hour shifts (I'm hoping it's a growth spurt and will soon be over it)
- would much rather sleep next to mom all the time. Little stinker.
- loves grabbing my hair and shirt
- loves when we 'eat' his feet
- grunts and shouts when he's not getting enough attention!
- survived a plane ride to AZ and a 10 hr drive back to UT and a trip to disneyworld in Florida.
-learned to roll from his tummy to back around 10 weeks
- learned he can blow bubbles and therefore started to drool!
- thinks his daddy is the funniest guy around
- has an official double chin :) gettin chubbier each day

My sweet baby,
This has been a particularly hard past month for mama. My arthritis flared up and it broke my heart when i didnt have the strength to pick you up on my own. But I wanted to be off medicine as long as I could to ensure your health was good. I'm back on medicine because I know you need your mama healthy and strong. I take a deep breath each morning as I leave for work. I don't like missing out on the fun and kisses you and daddy have while I'm gone. But coming home to you and cuddling your sweet face is the happiest part of my day! You are so funny and talk and giggle as if to say you know what we are saying! You have been one spoiled little boy with all the attention you've gotten and you've found your voice and let us know when you need to be played with. I love you so much and have to restrain myself from squeezing your guts out because of how adorable you are!! I try to cherish each moment with you because I now know all too well how time passes quickly! I love that you and your dad are becoming best friends! He's been so helpful to me as I try to get much needed sleep. You are the best thing in our life and we are just as smitten now as we were three months ago!
All my love,
Your mama
