3 months

Brady turned .25 on the 15th

He currently weighs 12 lbs 4 oz. That is a gain of 5 lbs since birth.

He’s length is a full 24 inches. That is 4 inches in 3 months.

Just as a side note he wears size two shoes. We totally skipped size one.

He still has extremely long hair. He is very talkative some days and loves to kick things.

He is learning how to laugh but doesn’t quite get it yet. We get a chuckle out of him every now and then, but no long lasting laughter yet.

He melts my heart every time I look into his big blue eyes.

DSCF0038LMU’s Basketball team is doing really well this year and we decided to check out a game the other night. Katie had a great time. She was into watching the players go up and down the court, but she was really more interested in eating as much popcorn as she could. Brady’s first experience for a Basketball game didn’t go as smoothly. He was sleeping and when they announced the national anthem the speaker was so loud it jolted him out of his sleep. I’m always cranky when I get woken before I’m ready so I can’t blame the kid for being fussy afterwards.

Rick has also been working on a friend’s car in his limited free time. Katie joins him when she can. She received a tool set for Christmas and could wait to use them on the car.DSCF0059 DSCF0060 DSCF0064 DSCF0065 DSCF0066

Rick has been working with Brady to teach him to roll over. Katie mastered this at 4 months. Rick thinks Brady has to do the same. I’m not sure I’m ready for a mobile child. I do have to say it is starting to work though. I had to catch Brady be for he rolled off the couch and some nights I find him laying width wise in his bassinet. He must roll/wiggle in his sleep.

Brady has also taken to watching a movie with Katie in the afternoon. He loves his sister and just watches her like a hawk. He acts like he wants to be just like her.DSCF0023

Katie is chewing on her thumb in this picture because she was getting a new molar and her mouth hurt.

I also bought a bubble machine. It is really noisy but shoots out a ton of bubbles. Brady even enjoys looking at the bubbles as they float towards his face.

Katie was so tired the other day she was asleep in Grandpa’s arms and didn’t want to wake up.

It was darling.DSCF0001 DSCF0002 DSCF0003

Impetigo and Snow Days

 

Because of Katie’s Impetigo being contagious we spent a few days at home. We trashed the house but Katie showed me the proper way to play with her trains. She also chose her own outfit and had mommy dress to match. I had to wear Rick’s shoes because she was wearing mine. I love my daughter so much.

Katie I hope when you are older I hope we have as much fun together as we have the last couple of days. I love you and enjoy your games and hope that we can be this close forever.

After we could venture out because Katie was no longer contagious is when it started snowing which kept us in even more. We had church canceled for the safety of ward members so we spent the day at Rick’s parents. Rick got home from drill and took a nap with Brady. After everyone got up we did some sledding. I was so proud Katie went down the hill all by herself. Also the $5 sleds we brought back from UT are super fast!
