Brandt at 3 Months

My baby is no longer a newborn, and I can't believe it! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, TIME FLIES! The sweet little bundle of newborn littleness we brought home from the hospital just 3 months ago has turned into a growing baby, with his own personality developing, and boy do we love watching him grow!

He is still a good eater and growing quickly, although he's slowed down a little he is still a big boy, and mommy loves the chub. He is wearing mostly 6 month clothing and almost ready for size 3 diapers. At the beginning of the month he was sleeping like a champ but as of the last few weeks he's been too excited about life to sleep as well ;) (or maybe he has just become too dependent on the pacifier and other things, but I am enjoying the extra cuddles) but we're working on it. He officially moved from mommy's bedside in the bassinet to his room and crib too this weekend!

He LOVES his siblings, especially Brayden. He lights up whenever he sees them. He also LOVES his daddy, which is the sweetest thing ever. He is overall a very happy and content little guy. He smiles at us ALL DAY LONG, and boy, those smiles melt this mommy's heart every single time. We've discovered he's ticklish and that he likes to laugh! He can roll from tummy to back but doesn't do it that often, and tummy time is now becoming a nuisance to this little fellow ;). He coos and talks quite often, and has recently started talking to his toys (so precious). He loves his crab, being outside, reading books, daddy, bath time, and being talked to. He doesn't like his car seat or being tired. He is batting at toys and can hold onto things when we give them to him. He puts his hands in his mouth constantly, and is figuring out what they are there for.

He is such a love bug, cuddler, and sweet little man. We adore him in so many ways. He is  a gift to us, and we praise Jesus for entrusting him to us. We've chosen Psalm 86:11-12 as his life verse and pray that he will walk in the ways of the Lord, all the days of his life. "Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. "
