Three Months

Our littlest man turned three months old on Friday! Time is flying by quickly and we're busy trying to soak up the moments with our littles. Our sweet Ryder boy, your little personality is starting to make itself known. You are happy and smiley and we love how your face just lights up when you see us in the morning or after your nap. You even smile when your big brother comes in your room loudly and proudly after your nap, because he's so excited to see you.

This has been a big month of firsts for you, little man. First, you started rolling over from your back to front at 11 weeks! Finn didn't do this until around 5 months, so you seem to be way ahead of the game in this area. You rolled over front to back the very next day. You probably would've done this sooner, but your stellar parents haven't put you on your tummy very much since your big brother tries to pick you up. Because of this new little trick, we've had to unswaddle you when you sleep. This transition was the absolute worst with Finn, but you breezed through it like a champ! It took just a couple days for you to get used to the idea, but once you were out- you were happy as can be. Because of this, it seems like you turned into such a big boy overnight!

You're still sleeping like a champ with a solid 10 hours at night and 2-2.5 hour nap in the afternoon. Your morning nap is so varied due to the fact that we're usually on the go, but you nap like a pro in the ergo when I wear you. You also take a short catnap around dinnertime before bath. You're eating every 2-3 hours during the day and your daddy loves to give you your bedtime bottle. You have also become quite the "talker" these days and seem to want your voice to be heard just as much as your brother.

We don't have a doctor's appointment this month, but I would guess that you weight around 13.5lbs and have gotten a good bit longer. You're about to outgrow 3 month clothing and you're now in size two diapers. You had your first cold right when you turned 3 months old thanks to your loving, sharing brother. You love staring at lights and fans. You still hate your car seat. You took your first car trip this month to Aiken and next month, you'll get your first trip to the beach! We love you to pieces little man!

  Our house is loud and messy and I love it.

 Mommy loves matching outfits.

 We visited your great grandparents.

 You took your first trip to Aiken and we stayed with Oma and Opa for Father's Day weekend. You also got to meet your aunt Miranda and cousins Reese, Brooke, Sawyer and Colton.

 You celebrated your first Father's Day! We think daddy is pretty great around here.

 Smiles for days.
