3.5 months

3 months is a milestone.
I don't have a newborn anymore.
We've already moved on to the next size of clothes and sitting up in the bumbo.

Life is full of smiles, giggles, and coos from this little guy!

I'm still so in love!

Cornbelly's with Cottrell's

My friend Katherine and I braved it...

the 2 of us with 9 kids total!

The older kids were fine.

It was the 4, 3 and under that were a little tough, particularly my 3 yr old.

yes, that cute boy has quite the attitude these days.

After all that play, we worked up appetites for burgers and fries at JCW's.
