3 Months Old

Crew is three months old! He seems to have gotten past his colic and is a much happier baby now, not to mention how much happier WE are as well. He weighs 15.5 lbs., smiles most of the time, makes all sorts different noises to entertain us, sucks on his hands(still NO binki), and his tears came in.

He really enjoyed all the extra attention during Grandpa and Grandma Hughett's visit over Christmas. It was so fun to have my parents here to help me get out of the house with the baby. I really wish they lived closer! Can't wait to visit them this summer.

Last weekend Chris's fam came down for Crew's blessing. While they were here, they watched Crew so Chris and I could go out on our first date since Crew was born. It was nice to have a little time together. Crew's blessing was wonderful! I have to say, as soon as I dressed him in his little white outfit I was in tears. As you can see in the picture above, he was pretty stink'n cute.

Santa Claus

Hmmm. . . Maybe Santa spilled the beans and told him he was only getting diapers for Christmas this year.

Updates

Crew is getting a lot more fun these days (Well, minus his colic issues that is). He is smiling, cooing, batting at his toys, making spit bubbles. . . You get the drift. I don't think either of us knew how hard this was going to be! One of Chris's friends who has a baby about the same age was over and saw I had the book, What to Expect the First Year. He said, "what it should say is, 'in the first three months I will give you HE-double hockey sticks, and a little bit of joy'." Maybe it was the sleep deprivation but I thought that was HILARIOUS!

HOLD ME!!!

We spent Thanksgiving up in the White Mountains with Chris's family. The food was AWESOME!!! Chris enjoyed spending time with his fam relaxing, Skippy enjoyed the attention and table scraps and I enjoyed all the extra arms to help in holding a fussy baby Crew.

Crew video

So, while in Pinetop for the Thanksgiving weekend all the girls in the family went to see the "New Moon" Movie.... Left home to watch the baby my brother and I put this together with his new CanonT-1 . It was fun to play with a new camera.

5 Week Pics

Chris hasn't been getting the job done in the pics department around here. . . Well, at least not of Crew, I should say. He's been really busy with a lot of weddings. . . So I decided to take matters into my own hands. Here are pics I took/edited of Crew at five weeks. The quilts were made by Grandma Cheryl Hughett and the rocking chair is Grandma Sherrie Paxmans.



I think his ticked off face is pretty cute too.

Video debut

It's just a short clip ...and it's just of him making little noises.

-yep...I've already become so disillusioned to think that anybody else cares about random photos and videos of my kid :)
