3 months old!

Well as much as time flies with the first child, it goes even faster with the second!  The "fourth trimester" is over already and I can't believe it.

Brayden continues to be a joy and a pretty easy going baby.  Whenever anyone babysits they say how easy he is.  It was certainly a welcome change to the first 3 months of Tucker's life!

He loves getting baths! And he's so patient because our water was not warm for a couple days there!

He does ok with tummy time-doesn't like to be on it for too long, but he is still very good at getting his head up. He's a big fan of the play mat if he's on his back, and will thankfully lay there for awhile and just stare at the hanging things and the lights. He also likes his bouncy seat and has pretty much transitioned away from the vibrating chair.  

He can also sit in the bumbo for a bit. He's started to grab and swat at things so I can give him a toy and he'll hold it/play with it on a mat or in the bumbo.

He's been taking most of his naps in his crib (if we're home) and sometimes will sleep for 60-90 minutes and other times he wakes up after 45 min and will either fall back to sleep if we give him his binky, but more often will go back to sleep in his swing. Thankfully he likes his swing like Tucker did!

He's taking 3 naps and a cat nap for the most part.

"yay I'm 3 months"

 He spent most of his third month getting up once per night around 3/4am but has started to sleep from 10:30-7/7:30 the past week, with only a couple nights of getting up to feed him mixed in.  I, for one, and LOVING it!  He usually goes down around 8/8:30 for the night too.

love this cute face!

 He has been nursing really well and when he gets a bottle he drinks 4-5oz.  He's starting to get some chunky legs and chubby cheeks! I hope he gets nice and chunky like Tucker did!

Tucker and Brayden have started to interact a little more too.  Since Brayden smiles so much, it is easy for Tucker to get a reaction from him. He likes to kiss and tickle Brayden and B will smiled when he does it.  When Tucker gets up in the morning he is most excited to see Brayden.

We also survived our first week without Max! It was a long week, but the boys were champs-especially Brayden.  We are so thankful for this boy! I was excited to make it through those first 3-4 months (since Tucker was so hard during that time) but now that it's flying by (and B is not so tough) I am sort of wanting it to slow down a bit!  How ironic:)
