Mickey Mouse Clubhouse's Biggest Fan!

So about a week and a half ago, I got a text from Mark (who was home with Boston that day) saying that Boston was having a great morning, just watching TV with daddy. I thought, yeah, right. But since then, I have come to find out that Boston absolutely loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I don't know if it's the colors, or the silly characters, or the songs, or what... But he literally watches entire episodes! He loves to prop himself up on his boppy during his new morning TV time to watch. It is amazing to me that this is probably the only consecutive half hour (sometimes hour, when it's back to back episodes) when you literally do not hear a peep from Boston! Check out how cute our little guy is watching TV!

Santa's Little Helper

We put our tree up a couple days ago (or rather, Mark put our tree up). We thought we would get it up so Boston could enjoy the lights for awhile. He really loves it; any time we pass by it, he just stares. He is such a cutie with lights - so enthralled... Isn't he cute in his Christmas jammies!Check out that belly!
And this picture is almost migraine-inducing, but I love Boston's face and his outstreched arm... it's like he's just chillaxin'!

Boston - 3 1/2 months

Boston is getting so big these days - he really looks like a baby now, rather than a newborn. He is getting really good at tummy time now and loves to roll over. He has started laughing regularly, much to Mark's and my enjoyment. His laugh is the cutest sound ever, he uses a really deep voice for such a little boy! He has really good control of his head, but still not quite enough for me to feel comfortable with him in his bumbo alone. He can sit on the couch with back and head support (with me standing in arms reach, of course). Today he successfully ate rice cereal! We are really hoping this will be a repeat experience, since it would alleviate our distress that he won't take a bottle for Jessica or Mark. Today, we pulled out the 6-12 months clothes, and to my surprise, they fit quite well! I can't believe how big this kid is!

Here's Boston sitting next to his dad on the couch, sporting one of his gymboree 6-12 months outfits. I remember picking out this ensemble in gymboree and thinking he would probably be wearing it in February or March. Nope, November it is! I can't believe how much he is growing!

Here's a close-up of his cute little face! I think he is such a beautiful baby!

Here's the biggest boy in the world, just sitting on the couch!

I was trying to get him to smile, but he just kept staring at the camera. So Mark stood behind me and got his attention. This was the result. So cute, but too bad he's looking up at Mark rather than at the camera. And here he is looking back at mama and the camera. I just love looking at that little face!
We love our little boy so much, and stressful as it is with us both being in school, we would do it again a million times over! We love you, Boston!

Another Use For Boston's Swing

Leave it to Mark to come up with this. He thought it would be fun to see what Starkisha would do in Boston's swing. She likes to lie on her back with her paws sticking straight in the air, so he thought she might enjoy this. She actually looks quite comfortable here, head on the pillow and all. He actually turned it on and had her swinging as well!

Here she is starting to get interested in what's going on outside, but she was too afraid to jump out herself, so she just stayed there! Silly Mark... P.S. Look how freakin' fat she is!

Big Boston Boy

So this picture is kind of blurry and dark (it was on my phone) but he was just so cute during tummy time tonight that I had to snap a picture. He is getting so dang big! He started rolling over about a week ago (stomach to back). He gets stronger and stronger everyday. He also started laughing today! It was the greatest sound in the world. I was singing songs to him and making faces at him in the car while Mark was getting gas, and he just started giggling over and over again. So cute!

Doesn't he look so big here? I love his little hands. He is always holding his hands together. Such a cute, big little boy!

WT Saturday

So this is probably not what you were all expecting (or wanting) to see on my blog, but I thought it was worthy... just reminds me of where I live if I ever forget. Last Saturday, Mark and I went to the outlet malls. We were walking out of a store when we caught sight of this...

And maybe it's "trashy" of me to do, but since I was pushing Boston's stroller and could be discrete, I angled my phone up, as if I were checking a text message or something, and snapped a quick picture as I walked by. I especially love how the guy in the sleeveless, stomachless shirt has his hands down his overalls, too. It just completes the picture!

Bumbo Boy

My sister Nikki wanted to see some pictures of Boston "sitting" in his bumbo. So here you are, Nik.

Another Photo Shoot

Here's some more pictures of our little bubba. He peed all over his Polo outfit today while I was changing him, so I decided he needed another photo shoot, since it has been awhile since I've taken pictures. I also think he is so cute in his "chubby" shirt - it is so fitting!

This kid is so dang cute!

Three Months Old!

Our little man is three months old today! This has been the best three months of our lives... we just love this little boy to pieces! He is the cutest, sweetest little guy ever. Here are some fun facts about Boston at age three months:

1. He loves to smile and coo at his mommy and daddy.

2. He loves everything about his play gym - staring at the lights, listening to the music, and hitting and sucking on the toys.

3. He loves to eat (only the good stuff) - he still will not take a bottle, the little turd!

4. He loves his swing, now that we realized we could recline it.

5. He sleeps from 8pm to 8am almost every night, and usually only wakes up once or twice (although last night was an exception to this rule).

6. He already fights having to take naps during the day - he will do anything to keep himself awake, which is why we have had to buy new swaddle "blankets" (he gets out of it in regular blankets) that velcro around him.

7. He is nearly 16 lbs and wears 6 months clothes.

8. He still sleeps in his vibrator/rocking chair - we will probably try to get him used to the crib over the holidays when its OK to be sleep deprived.

9. He loves to watch his "babysitters" - Jessica's little boys, Ian and Noah. He smiles when he sees them and even watches them when we are at church.

We just love our little guy so much - here are some cute pictures from today's "photo shoot."
