A lot of changes this month!! Blake has his two front bottom teeth and is starting to get his knees up under him during tummy time. Crawling is right around the corner! He scootches pretty far, which is basically army crawling. He's so close!! He'll also walk around a bit in his walker. He recently started playing with his feet, and he'll also shake his head to copy me as well as during certain songs. He's been squealing and talking up a storm which is so adorable! Let's be honest, I think everything about this kid is adorable!! He'll just laugh at the most random things some times, and I love it! I hope he is always such a happy little guy ❤️. 


He loves chewing on all blankets, but especially loves the chair covers! 
Blake is so good at getting the spoon in his mouth by himself! 
He loves his daddy ❤️

This month Blake started sleeping through the night occasionally! It was so nice, but now he's either teething or going through a sleep regression because he wakes up ALL. THE. TIME. It's hard not to get frustrated! 

He still loves when I sing to him and he's still very ticklish. He laughs and squeals all the time! Blake likes to keep us guessing at which bottles he'll like that day and about when he's tired. One thing is always for sure though: he loves to be held and he loves to walk around with whoever is holding him. 

This month Blake also tried solid foods. He had peas, bananas, applesauce and butternut squash. He liked the peas the most and applesauce is better now that he's had it a few times.

Grandma's tickles

Blake really has grown so much this month!! He talks way more, squeals, giggles and smiles all the time! One time this month I was singing to him and rocking him trying to get him to go to sleep and he just kept smiling at me 😍. He is just the cutest! He is so ticklish and will giggle when I change his clothes 🤣. He rolled from back to front this month as well as front to back and really likes to sit up and stand with our help. He's drinking 7 ounces every feeding (except for at night when he only drinks 4). We just love our little chub-a-wub ♥️♥️.

Blake is three months old already! This month he really started to show more personality. He smiles all the time and we can even get giggles out of him sometimes. He is finally interested in his toys and can be entertained with them for quite a while! Blake also found his two hands, he sucks on them more than ever and will clasp them together and it is so cute! I've abandoned the baby bath seat and have just been laying him in the tub because it's so much easier, and he loves it! He'll kick and splash around and smile at me. Blake is getting so big, and has now experienced alll his firsts of the major holidays. He loved Christmas tree lights and would always look up to the top like he was thinking "wow, how tall is that thing???" He also started sleeping really well at night, going 6 hours straight and sometimes 7! I can't wait to see what new things he discovers and new tricks he learns in the next month!

We really do have the chillest little baby! He cries for 3 things: food, sleep and to be picked up after tummy time. This month Blake got to meet all this cousins on my side of the family, and had his first Thanksgiving! He was blessed by his dad on the 30th of November as well, which was so sweet and it was awesome to have the whole family there for it. He's getting so big, and we just love him!
