Cruz Tyler: 3 Months Old

Cruz: 3 Month Update

 

 

 

Weight: Not exactly sure, but I would say close to 13 or 14 lbs, maybe!

Length/Height: I'm guessing around 24", not sure though, I haven't measured him.

Eyes: Still a light blue, but sometimes look a little hazel-ish like mine
 

Hair: Dark Brown and getting more and more!

Clothes: 3 months!!

Diapers: Size 1's still

Likes: Eating, sucking on his hands and fingers, watching Hooplakidz videos on YouTube, sitting in the froggy chair, sleeping in his crib at night (on his belly), walks downtown, having vistors, and Mommy & Daddy! 

Dislikes: Riding in his car seat for very long, naps during the day, being put down for too long, being hungry, and riding in his car seat. ha!

 

 

I wish I would have done these during the time of him actually being 8-12 weeks old, because trying to go back now and remember what all happened during that time is hard. Mommy brain still. haha!

 

Let's see...we started out week 8 by celebrating Father's Day. We went to visit Grandpa Ronnie at his house on Saturday and then went to dinner with PawPaw that night. On Sunday we went to Ty's parents to visit with Pappy. We tried to make it to the end of church that morning, but with a blowout on the way, we were late and didn't get to make it to meet everyone.

 

We also celebrated my 31st birthday. Mom came over to hang out with us that day and Ty tried so hard to stay awake and go to lunch with us, but after opening my gifts, he was exhausted and had to go to sleep. So, Mom, Cruz and I went to a new place downtown, Another Broken Egg Cafe and it was delicious! Cruz did really good and even slept for a little bit while we were there. He woke up and was content for a little while in his car seat, but was over it and I had to hold him for just a little bit. Luckily, I was pretty full by then, so it was fine.

 

We left Cruz for the first time to go to Romp on a Saturday evening/night. Aunt Michelle came over to watch him and I texted her about every hour to make sure he was okay. We had fun hanging out with friends and listening to some bluegrass, but I missed my baby and was TIRED. We headed home about 12:30 that night. He did pretty good for Aunt Michelle. Had a meltdown, but they both survived it.

 

He definitely has started becoming more alert this month and smiles when he's talked to and smiled at. He knows his mommy and daddy's voices and his eyes will follow us when we walk by or search for us when he hears our voices.

 

He celebrated his first holiday, the 4th of July!! And looked so darn cute in his patriotic outfits from Aunt Krystal, especially the sunglasses! OMG! Be still my heart!!!! He was just the cutest thing in the world!!!!!!!!

 

I soaked up every last second of maternity leave because the day after he turned 12 weeks, I had to go back to work. The Sunday before I pretty much cried off and on all day long and definitely held him for much, much longer that night before putting him to bed. I was so lucky to get to take off 12 weeks and even though some days were tougher than others, I don't regret taking off that long (without pay a week or two also) because I will never get that time of him being a baby back. I got to know him and he got to know me and it was the best 12 weeks of my life, for sure! I wasn't sure that I would be able to function all day without him and after a few stressful nights the first few days of daycare, we got into a routine and everything has been pretty great! But I'll go into more detail of that in Month 4.

 

So, there we go, we have a 3 month old and life has never been sweeter!! I can't even imagine it getting better, but something tells me it will.

I didn't think he could get cuter, but look at him! Biased much? Yes, maybe, but every mom is, right? 

 

This little boy is just the sweetest boy in the world and every minute with him is just the best. Even when he won't stop crying and I just want to cry with him (which isn't very often, ha!).
