Oh Christmas Tree! Oh Christmas tree.....and SMORES

Well my friends the time has come where winter has come, we got hit hard with winter a couple of weeks ago and kyle and i just couldn't resist and set up our christmas tree and treated ourselves to some smore's...mmmmmmmmmmm!  Even though the snow all melted this past week, I love the feel of having a tree set up, nothing beats sitting on your couch with the tree lit, candles flickering, and curled up with a hot cup of hot chocolate.

We are looking forward to next year so that we can involve Rayne and start family traditions.

4 MONTHS OLD

Where does the time go my little bean is 4 months old today!  I love this child more then I can express.

Things I notice:

*He is still smiling away
*He loves sitting contently with Grandpa Kydd and Uncle David
*He's teething and he loves chewing on his fists and won't use any teething ring i buy
*He is almost rolling over, any day now
*Still won't take to his crib, but we will get it one of these days
*He will only use his soother to fall asleep and you know he is out cold when he pushes it out
*His teeth bother him a little at night so his sleeping time has decreased a little but its still anywhere to 5-6 hrs straight a night
*Loves cuddling with mama
*He's not throwing up anymore and his appetite has increased .  I can lay him on his back without any problem
*He loves talking gibberish and telling us stories


We go for 4 month shots next week!  

HALLOWEEN

Halloween fastly approached this year and we just had to dress Rayne up.  Next year the three of us will dress up together but for this year we dressed him.  Can you guess what he is?

MONOPOLY MAN!!!!

3 MONTHS

Can you believe how fast time is going.  My little guy is just over 3 months old.  He's not quite little any more.  Approx 13 lbs and 23 1/2 inches long.  His test from the barium swallow came back normal and he was doing great for a while and then projectile puking took over.  Just came from the doctor where he thinks Rayne has an allergy to Milk protein, so we are now trying out the soy based formula.  So far so good!  We had updated pics taken from our very talented friend Nicole again.  Take a look!

I know my opinion is bias, but isn't he just ADORABLE!!!!!!!

Things I have noticed at this stage:


*He is smiling constantly, we have even gotten some small giggles out of him
*He's has discovered his tongue and is constantly sticking it out
*When he is just content he gives a little sigh/cooing - cutest thing in the world
*He knows who I am, the minute I enter the room his big eyes light up and huge smile takes over

*He loves to cuddle
*He's discovered his fist and is sometimes more comfort then his soother
*We know he is tired because the outside of his eyes get red and puffy
*He's sleeping 6-7 hrs at  night
*He's still a mover
*His nickname is officially 'bean' (because he is constantly moving, like a mexican jumping bean).
