Moon over Long's Peak

One benefit of early morning feedings...sunrises and "moon" sets.  Here's the view from our balcony looking west early one morning.

3 Months

Captain Adorable!

3 months old!!!  Jameson's 2-month doctor's visit ended up happening just shy of his turning 3 months old.  10 days shy of 3 months, Jameson came in weighing 11lb. 9.7oz. and was 23.5" long.  So he's gained almost 5 lbs, and grown 3.5 inches since birth.   At that doctor's appointment, he handled his shots like a champ (he was actually so focused on wanting to eat that I don't even know if he realized he got the shots)!

Aunt Natalie arrives!  With Jameson turning 3 months, it also meant that my 3-month maternity leave had come to an end.  We decided that I would return to work part-time and so far, working just Tues-Wed-Thur has been a great balance.  My first week back corresponded with Natalie's school's Spring Break.  Having her here was such a blessing - Jameson got to spend more time with his Aunt and it helped make my transition back to work so much easier.

Saying goodbye wasn't too hard this time because we know we'll see Aunt Natalie again in May at Jameson's Baptism.

So much baby equipment - where did my living room go?!?!  I think it's lost in the jungle... Rob and Jameson certainly don't seem to mind.  They can have fun playing with each other anywhere.

Check out that smile... and those cheeks!  I think he inherited them from me :)

Since he was born, one of the most helpful calming techniques has been bouncing Jameson on my Pilates ball.  We bounce together so often that there's actually a song that goes with it - I'll spare you the lyrics, but there's some clever alliteration involved.  He loves being sung to, so we sing in this house every single day (and more often than not it's totally made up)!

For my second week back at work, Jameson started going over to my friend Shannon's house.  She's going to be watching him until early May when his daycare provider can start.  Here are three photos she took of him this last week.  The photos do a great job capturing how "bubbly" he's been lately!
