3 month update, Easter Bunny pic and St. Patricks Day!

So it's been a couple of weeks and we have been SOO busy. We finally had Easter Bunny Pics made, celebrated Bean's first St. Patrick's Day, his three month birthday and enjoyed a much needed vacay in Texas with our family!

We can start with the Easter pictures. Since there are two malls within a close range of my house, I ended up getting two different pictures made with two different Easter bunnies. Dumb, I know but after getting the first picture made I went to the bigger mall and found out that the Easter bunny was there as well. One of the pictures turned out horrible and I wasn't very happy because they didn't even hold him right so his bunny shirt didn't really show! O well, what can you do? At least one of his little eyes was open!

St. Patrick's Day and his third month fell on the same day! That morning I put his little St. Patrick's Day shirt on him and some cute khaki's. We decided to spend the day with his granny because we were leaving for Texas on Monday and we wouldn't be back for a week. (She has withdrawals if she hasn't seen him in a couple of days) We had so much fun there taking pictures and just playing around with him. His personality is so unique and amazing! I have been very blessed with this happy, happy baby!

Can't wait to see what changes the fourth month will bring! My little compadre is growing up so fast on me. Sometimes I feel like I don't have as much time as I would like too document his growth. Sticking to this blog for his updates has helped me tremendously. It's a huge stress reliever and it makes me very happy to know that when I update about him, I can always go back to my blog to check dates or to just reminisce about the baby days!

 

Well that's it for 3 months! We are headed into the fourth month with bells on!

God Bless and stay tuned for the Texas update! I have a ton of pictures to share.

Our day out..

Today Bean and I had a crazy, fun day out! I was planning to take him to the mall to get his picture made with the Easter Bunny but unfortunately I was wrong on the date. Since he will be there tomorrow, we are going back! I put him in the stroller instead of the carrier because I want him to actually EnJoy strolling around. He was so good! I soon realized that we had been in the mall for so long that it was time for him to eat again. He was screaming bloody murder! I sat down at the table and made his bottle. I went ahead and fed him while everyone looked on as they passed by. Of course I received lots of smiles and comments about him and his little outfit. I'm so proud of this little guy! After he ate, I laid him on my lap and starting eating my snack from the pretzel place. He cackled and gave me his little semi laugh (since he hasn't gotten the hang of it yet). I enjoyed sitting there and just watching him. It's amazing to think about how one little person can change your life so much. I'd do anything for this kid. He has me wrapped around his little tiny fingers.

After we left the mall, we ventured out to Target. (My all time favorite store) Bean fell asleep on the way but as soon as I put his car seat on the buggy, he woke up. I was walking around the clothes section when I heard a little grunt. I looked into the car seat and I heard a big splat! Oh gosh...He was pooping! This was no normal poop people, it was the poop of all poops! I kept hearing splat, splat, splat as I ran to get his formula so we could hurry and check out. I slapped that car seat in the car and hurried home. Good thing we only live 2 minutes away! When I got him out of his car seat, I put him against my chest and walked into the bedroom. I laid him on a blanket on my bed and realized my shirt was wet. AH! There was poopy on my sleeve, my chest and all over him. How did I not see this when I got him out of the car seat??!! I stripped us both naked, put on some comfy clothes and mentally prepared myself for what I was going to find in the diaper. Ugh is all I can say. I opened it up, wiped him down with a ton of wipes and put his other diapy on! He was so happy and smiley when this little episode was over. I think he was getting a kick out of how freaked out I was.

 

So tomorrow we are going to try for the Easter Bunny picture again! I'm crossing my fingers that there won't be too long of a line. Being stationary for too long=one peed off little Bean. I may be able to post again before Sundays three month and St. Patrick's Day update. I will have my little cousin here to help me take care of Bean so I'm sure we will have an interesting time.

God Bless <3

 

Just a little update...

Well it's safe to say that I have been highly emotional lately. Bean is growing so fast! I remember checking in to the hospital the night before his birth, to get ready for the next day's induction. It seems like yesterday. Now he is almost three months old and changing so much everyday. I'm so in love with this little guy! I cherish every smile, every tear and every moment with him. <3 Blessed doesn't even begin to cover how I feel every day of my life. I'm really excited about this month because we will be celebrating his first St. Patricks Day and his first Easter. I have already made it clear that I LOVE holidays and since this year will be full of firsts, I have to go big! I ordered Bean St. Patricks Day and Easter onesies with his name embroidered on them. They should both be here tomorrow! I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I really want to take him to get his picture made with the Easter bunny at the mall wearing the Easter one :) Hopefully he doesn't cry like I did when I was a child. Apparently, I went running! But who wouldn't? Large, furry, rabbit with big eyes? Nah, not for me.

 

So anyway, I finally bought a bumbo. I've been passing it up for a few weeks but this last time, I threw it in the buggy. I needed something to help with the strengthening his neck muscles because he throws a mortal fit during tummy time. He wasn't so sure about it at first but when J and I sit in front of him and talk in a high pitched voice, he gives us that big gummy grin!

 

^Love that little smile^

 

The day I bought the bumbo, I decided to try out a squeaky toy. That went over great. I had him in his carseat, sitting on top where he could see me. I put the monkey up to him, made it squeak and he LOVED it! I was so happy. He grinned the whole time I was in Target and did not get fussy at all because of that thing. It's suppose to be the boy version of Sophie the Giraffe apparently. Atleast I think so. Everyone has those giraffe's and I would have for sure gotten one eventually but this one looked so cute and a little more boyish. He also grabbed it, while it was laying in the car seat and put the monkey's tail in his mouth! Cutest thing ever. I was shocked that he actually grabbed something so I forgot to take a picture. By the time, I dug my phone out of the diaper bag, he had dropped it in to his lap :/ The only downside to this toy is that I have to keep it put away when we aren't playing with it because my dogs of course think it is for them.

This week, J and I took my sister and her boyfriend out for their birthday dinner. They picked Longhorn, but no complaints here because it is so good! Bean did great. He played and laughed the whole time!
