I think I blinked and another month passed by. More than a month in fact because my baby turned 3 months old last Tuesday! I may have forgotten because I thought he would be 3 months on the 29th. Nope. He was born on the 27th and Chloe on the 29th. He’s clearly a second child. At least I have a bit of an excuse! But I haven’t been blogging nearly as regularly as I would like, so here I am finally posting about my sweet 3 month old boy!
Month 3 Firsts:
First Halloween
Originally Chloe was supposed to be a unicorn and Brody a dragon. Last minute, Chloe changed everyone’s costumes, and for some reason, I decided to go with it. She wanted to be Elsa with me and have JP and Brody be pumpkins. And the cutest pumpkins they were!
First time to be a cousin
On November 1st, my sister had her baby boy, Gabriel. Chloe and Brody became instant cousins and I finally became and Auntie! Chloe is smitten with both of them. Brody and Gabe are pretty much built in best friends and we can’t stop taking pictures of them!
First giggle
Pretty much the sweetest sound in the world. Baby giggles never get old! I got a video that I’ll post on Instagram of him giggling while we were at Chloe’s gymnastics. He doesn’t do it every day, but I can tell he’s on the verge of being a little giggle monster!
First Bridal Shower
Brody came with me to my dear friend Meena’s bridal shower! Now he’s been to a baby shower and a bridal shower. Next up, Meena’s wedding in February!
First trip to the zoo
We finally made it out to the zoo the week of Thanksgiving! Brody loved it so much that he slept right through the almost 3 hours we were there. He woke up now and again so that we knew he was there, but he mostly enjoyed snuggling in the stroller. On the plus side, it was the perfect day, all the animals were out and his sister had the best time!
First Thanksgiving
Two holiday firsts in one month! Brody’s first Thanksgiving was spent in College Station at his Jojo and Pops’ house. He enjoyed his first Thanksgiving buffet of his favorite food…breastmilk! We had a blast with JP’s family for the long weekend. It involved way too much food, Aggie football and lots of fun family time.
Brody loves…
- chewing on his tongue.
- playing with his big sister.
- napping in his car seat whenever we go places.
- sitting up and standing.
- sleeping through the night in his Dock-a-Tot.
- eating. Always wants the boobie!
- talking and smiling at anyone who will pay attention.
Brody doesn’t like…
- changing clothes.
- getting out of the bathtub.
- having to wait too long when he’s already been patient.
Honestly, he’s the happiest baby. He’s so calm and easy going that there isn’t much that he truly doesn’t like! He’s made being a mom to two kids so much easier than it could have been. I’m so obsessed with him and his sweet, calm demeanor.
My sweet Brody boy,
Another month has come and gone and you have made our hearts grow more than we could ever imagine. You make your mommy and daddy so happy. Your smile lights up a room and your coos melt our hearts. You continue to be the easiest, sweetest baby we could ever imagine. How did we get so lucky?
This month has been a big one! You experienced two holidays and became a cousin in just 31 days. You rocked the pumpkin costume your little sister picked out for you, and you loved laying in the wagon as we went trick-or-treating around the street. You did opt out of treats on Halloween and turkey on Thanksgiving since you prefer the boobie. Who needs anything else when you have that?You and Gabe are already little besties, and we can’t wait to watch you grow up and get into trouble together. We started imagining what we’ll be dealing with in 3 years, and we’re glad that you both can’t move around quite yet.
Everything about you brings me so much joy! You smile when you hear my voice and look around for me. If that doesn’t melt a momma’s heart, then I don’t know what does. You’re my little boyfriend and I hope you’ll let me kiss you forever. For now, I’ll just soak up all the snuggles and the smile you give me because for now, I’m the center of your world and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I love you without wax,
Momma
