Our little guy turned 3 months last week. Wow!
Time flies!! He likes to try to sit up. If we put him in a sitting/reclining position he will do little crunches to sit up more. It's so cute. He is drooling and chewing on his thumb,fingers,and arms a lot. I'm hoping teeth are a long ways off. He hasn't rolled completely over yet but he is starting to make the effort. And he pivots on the floor and in his crib. We will put him down at night laying one way and he will move a different way by morning. He is sleeping great at night. Takes a bath and goes to sleep between 8 and 9 and gets up between 6 and 7. Whoohoo!! Happy mommy and daddy! We are always discovering new ways to make him laugh and figuring out tickle spots.
Now for some catchup!
Thanksgiving ( yes I know I'm late)
Thanksgiving we went up to Grampa and Gramma Smith's in Wisconsin. Garry and Carol went along with us. This was Joseph's first big road trip. He did great. We fed him before we left and he slept part of the way, ate again when we were a little over halfway, and was awake and asleep the rest of the way. He did pretty good during our visit too. We got out the pack and play and he did great in that. So, all this just points to the fact that traveling could still be in our future, right? :)
Here's some pictures from our visit.
We like to play games and work on puzzles while we visit. Grampa is the king of rummikub. He always wins :)
The grampas seem infatuated with little Joey... We all are :)
He got tired of laying on the floor, so Gramma had to rescue him and has him assist her in Pirates and Travelers.
Great Gramma and Grampa getting last minute snuggles before we leave.
We really enjoyed our visit and hope to so it again soon:)
Thanksgiving with the Whitaker's was dinner at Grampa and Gramma Whitaker's. I didn't get any pictures from the day other than of Joey and I.
The week after we got back from Wisconsin was a busy one for Bryce He had 2 meetings and 3 days at the Peoria Farm Show. Joey, Sam, and I went up to see him and walk around the show. This was the outfit I tried to put on him, but he wanted to wear the john Deere shirt and so wet through this outfit before we even made it off the changing table.
Poor sleepy Bryce. This was him in the Friday of the busy week. I has picked up Dqniel and Olivia from school and they stayed the night. They were excited to see him when he got home and wanted to play. Livie made him a beautiful crown.
Joey sporting the cute hat Great Gramma Barbara made him.
He is getting so big!
JD boy
Last but not least , Christmas is coming! Only 12 days left!! We still have some shopping to do. And decide what to do for a tree ( Real? Fake? Big? Small? None at all?)
Our living room looks pretty with just the Christmas lights on at night. 
Have a great day!
