Matthew is 3 months (and a half!)

Well I am finally doing his three months post! He has changed so much this month.



For starters, he was able to come off the zantac. His reflux is much, much better! We also found out he is allergic to both milk protein and eggs. So lucky for me, I get to avoid all those foods since I am nursing :)



He is sleeping so much better now. He actually does really well in his crib. He takes two long naps (morning and afternoon) and a short evening one as well. The times that he takes these vary  as does the length of his naps.



Bedtime is around 7 and he now usually sleeps till 1 or 2 am before waking up to eat again. He usually wakes up about three times a night.

He is nursing great and gaining TONS of weight. He is just under 17 pounds now. He is 93rd for length and 97th percentile for weight. He is in 9 month clothing but can wear a few 6 months and our pjs are 12 month to fit over the night time diaper.

He is so happy now and talks and talks and smiles all the time. He still doesn't like to be put down though and still hates the car.

His hair is falling out like crazy and his eyes are still really blue. I cant wait to see what they will end up being!

I know babies don't usually teethe this early but this boy drools like crazy and is always chewing on his hands! He loves tummy time and his newborn fuzz is finally falling out.

He is just so sweet and I love him like crazy.
Oh and look at this! I definitely things he looks so much like Ej did at this age!!

Up up and away! I love this time of year. I truly do. One of my favorite things is seeing all of the hot air balloons flying around.




Our pumpkin! Adam did a great job! The boys are BIG star wars fans. Here is "Master Wuda" as Ej would say!

And here are the boys and I. My Spartan, firefighter, and puppy :)

After we stopped by some family to say hi, we met up with Adam and went trick or treating with some friends. Austin and EJ had so much fun. Ej would run right up and say "trick or treat" and then "thank you!". And of course spending time with good friends is always nice. Matthew didn't hit the streets with us this year as it was his bed time. So he stayed at the house and helped hand out candy :) That was my very first time leaving him. We were only a block away and gone about an hour but it was nice to be able to just hang out with the older boys. Balancing the needs of all three seems to be the hardest part for me. I know it will get better though as Matthew gets a bit older and we get a better routine. Right now his routine is completely off due to his reflux and stomach issues. We found out he is allergic to eggs and dairy and if I only eat something with a trace of them he gets a horrible rash and has horrible stomach issues. So no Halloween candy for me!! Today we are laying low due to a very very late night and watching Harry Potter and cleaning. Maybe some pumpkin muffins too!

(I am so late for Matthew's three month photo shoot but he has been so under the weather the past two weeks. Hopefully tomorrow I can get them finished!)

Hope you all a spook-tacular Halloween too!!!!
