3 months old!

Today Sean is 3 months old. Sometimes it seems like it's been much longer, and then I remember that only a year ago I was blissfully unaware that my life would change so much. His dad gave him his first haircut on Sunday (trimmed around the ears and the back), that was quite the harrowing experience (those scissors are sharp, and it's not like Sean can keep his head still!). It's definitely not a professional job, but he looks less like a girl now : ) We're still trying to figure out what eye color he's going to have. We're thinking maybe hazel, since somedays they look almost brown, and others they look almost blue. They even look almost green on other days (who knows?). He's certainly "talking" and smiling quite a bit more (which is fun). We'll even call up grandma and talk to her on the phone (which she gets a big kick out of). He's also gotten to where he doesn't like to be held lying down, he wants to sit up so he can look around. Luckily he's got pretty good head control, so I don't have to constantly be holding him up. And now he's even laughing from time to time, yey (that one was a surprise when it first happened, and now it's like a game to try and see if we can get him to laugh, sometimes he'll even oblige us!). So now it's going to be interesting to see what the next three months bring ... crawling? solid foods? sleeping through the night? (that's the one I'm really hoping for!!!) Here's Sean and daddy on homecoming day (the biggest homecoming celebration in the nation is here in Stillwater for the OSU Cowboys...Go Pokes!). The family all dolled up for church. Sean really enjoys going since he likes looking at the stained-glass windows and all the people "ooh" and "aah" over him. There's one elderly lady in particular who's just in love with him and wants to hold him all the time. He doesn't seem to mind, though he usually comes away smelling a bit of perfume!

How time flies...

Whew! 11 weeks old and still growing... We're going in for his shots tomorrow, yey. So he's hit a few more milestones: Sleeping in his own room now in his "big boy" crib; staying home with grandma and grandpa while mommy and daddy went out for dinner (I wanted to put my head down and sleep on my plate I felt so tired--but it was at a Mexican restaurant and you know how hot those plates get, so I thought better of it!); taking longer naps during the day (hooray!); and flirting with the pediatrician (so she said). Speaking of which, he is now 24" and 13.9lbs! Big boy. Oh, and apparently enjoys watching tv with daddy (great).
