3 Months and counting...

My Jonah is now a whopping 3 months old!!! He is getting bigger and cuter each day. I love his squishy little cheeks and his chubby little thighs. He makes me happier than I ever thought I could be!
We have been super busy this summer. Jonah went to his first party a couple of weeks ago. He went to Carson's first birthday party! It was at Palisades park (where Nonny and Poppy got married) in Oneonta. It was quite a nice little park. The party was in a building next to the edge of the mountain. It had a very pretty view. There was also a playground where we all played for a few minutes. It was nice just to be a kid again and slide down the kiddie slide! Jonah liked it too ;)

Jonah is a candy mountain climber!!!

I SO adore my family :)

A little update on Jonah's day-to-day activities...He is taking about 7oz formula every 2-4 hours. He is very random. He sleeps through the night, and I do mean THROUGH THE NIGHT! He takes his bedtime bottle and falls asleep around 8:30, and I have to wake him up at 6:15 to get ready for school. Mommy and Daddy greatly appreciate this. We are so blessed! We have been off of Zantac for a couple of weeks now and doing great! He is awake for the most part of the day, only taking naps from 30min-1hr at a time. Occasionally, we will get a longer nap out of him. But, he doesn't seem very fussy about it. He just doesn't require as much sleep during the day. He is doing very well at school. His teacher seems to really love him. I'm having a much harder time of it than he is. He moves to his bigger classroom in a few weeks. I'll be sad that it won't just be him and a couple other babies, but instead, it will be like 8! But, it will be good for him to be in a room with more babies and more toys. He's still loving his playmat (his favorite toy). He also loves to watch Baby Einstein movies. We've also been reading to him a lot more. He will actually sit there and stare at the pages. He is just so smart. We are still working on the rolling over thing. He does not like tummy time for very long, so he's not getting a very good workout! I don't want to rush him though. We fed him cereal for about a week, but for the past few nights, he hasn't been very interested. I'm just going to keep trying and let him decide when he's ready to start back up. Again...no rushing :)

I'm watching his cute little self right now asleep in his swing. He makes the sweetest pouty-lip face when he's asleep. He also does this precious sucking thing in his sleep. It's like he's dreaming of a bottle. We love playing with the little booger so much! He's getting to be so much fun now that he's really noticing things and recognizing faces. He will just smile at me in the mornings when I wake him up. He is such a morning baby, just like his mommy!!!

He is eating everything these days!!!!

Jonah Brandon and Todd Landon!!!

Jonah, you are growing too fast! I am amazed at how much

and how fast you are changing. I am learning something new about

you everyday. You are getting so smart and so strong. I love to watch you watching things.

You will watch Milo run around, or mommy and daddy walking around the house,

or just stare at your toys. You are putting everything you can get your hands

on in your mouth. You've also started drooling A LOT! We have to change your

bib like 5 times a day. You will smile so big when we talk to you or sing to you.

That smile is what makes my heart melt. You are such

a happy baby and you make my life complete. I am so in love with you. Oh, and your daddy

is too! Every night after you have fallen asleep in my arms, I carry you

into your room and stand next to your bed and pray. I hold you tight and thank God

for giving me and your daddy such an amazing blessing. I pray that you will keep

growing strong and getting even smarter than you already are!

We are so very blessed. We love you with all of our heart!!!!!
