Safe In Grandpa's Hands...

Bumbo Seat Saturday

If you have a small child, and no BUMBO seat, you should be ashamed. It's WONDERFUL. It's DELIGHTFUL. It's AWESOME. And Reilly LOVES it!

3 Months--Through Pictures (In no particular order!)

Don't know what's more exciting, the beginning of 2010, or the FAT ROLLS that we finally see!

3 Months!

Oh my goodness gracious! I can't even believe that my baby is already three months old. It seems like only yesterday we were laying awake the whole night imagining what life was going to be like with a baby and freaking out when we drove out of the garage on the morning of October 27th, thinking our family would never be the same! Here we are three months later and I wouldn't trade a single moment for anything in the world.


Here are some highlights from month three...

• Reilly decided that nursing with Mommy was no longer cool and went strictly to formula and cereal.


• Our little wiggle worm scooted himself all the way from the back of the couch cushions right to the floor under the end table...all done with Mommy crying far more than he did.


• We welcomed 2010 in at Aunt Keely and Uncle Jeff's house...and Rei made it until 11:59, and then fell into a deep sleep and drooled through the new year!


• Rei went to a babysitter (outside a family member) for the first time. We all quickly fell in love with Ms. Betsy and feel very blessed that she is a part of our little man's life.


• I made a very hard transition back to work, and I only cried 3 days...not bad!


• Reilly reached 11 lbs 11 oz at his last check-up, and I'm sure he's chunked up even more since then!


• Reilly reached the 2 foot mark! I think he's gonna be a tall boy!


• We got to celebrate Brady's 5th birthday (Rei's first birthday party!)


• We celebrated a late Christmas with the Moroni and Milner side!


• Rei's smiles light up my life each and every day. They come so frequently and make his whole face shine.


• We've gotten used to 6-8 hours of sleep at a crack. Right now, we usually get up sometime between 2-3 am to "chatter" and "coo" but rarely have to get up and do anything.
  
• There have been little bursts of laughter...one time even scaring him so bad he cried.


• Rei got to discover life in his exersaucer for the first time. We're still convincing him that it really is a pretty cool gadget...although he still very much prefers his swing.


• Rei discovered his tongue comes out of his mouth. We take turns sticking our tongues out at one another and he plays along for anywhere between 45 seconds to a minute.


• Rei, Dave and I went swimming at Mishawaka High School's Open Swim. This was Reilly's first time swimming and although I'm not sure he loved it, he sure didn't hate it!


• We had our three month pictures and he was as cute as ever.

I didn't realize that I could love a person this much. He is my life!

January 4th...before we left for daycare and school...before the tears!

I will post more pictures from month three soon!
