THREE months

Braylon is three months old today. I keep saying this to myself, yet I cannot wrap my head around it. It seems like yesterday that I was being wheeled over to labor and delivery after a routine blood pressure check. Time is already going by so fast. He is still exclusively breast feed and I do not see that changing anytime soon. We both love it! Since we do not go to the doctor until he is four months, I do not have any real weights and measurements. However, I weighed him this morning with me and he is 13lbs! He is getting so chunky! He is officially in all three month clothing and all newborn has been put away:( Braylon has been sleeping more and more for me at night. Last night he slept a solid 8 hours! Of course he is still in bed with me but who could kick out the best cuddle buddy ever!

One of the cutest thing he does so far is all of his smiles and talking. Braylon is just a happy little boy. He babbles on and on and on and smiles the whole time. It is so adorable. We now have daily conversations with him where we mimic his sounds and he will talk right on back. Ahh I love it!

Unfortunately he still hates the car seat. And by hate I mean HATE!!! He cries the whole time and it just breaks my heart. I try to get all my errands done when I do not have to take him along. He just wants to be held because as soon as I take him out he stops immediately. I am really hoping he grows out of this.

The rest of the year is going to be a busy one. We have a cookie exchange to go to tonight and a Christmas party on Saturday. Then on Sunday night we will be driving to Flagstaff, Arizona to go spend some holiday time with Colin's family. I am very worried about this because as mentioned above he hates the car seat. I am hoping that by driving through the night he will sleep longer and not cry so much. He will get to see his grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt and then a bunch of cousins. We will also be going to see Colin's great aunt who is 91 years old. On Christmas eve morning Braylon and I will be flying out of Phoenix to Fresno where we will be with my family until January 3rd. We have a lot of cleaning, laundry and packing in the next three days to be able to leave on time. I will be taking pictures the whole time but I cannot upload things from my camera until I get to Fresno because I left the cord in there during Thanksgiving. But do not worry they will be posted and emailed! Oh and all my photos recently and until then have been with my phone. Sorry about the poor quality in them!

Update on me. Three months after having Braylon I now have my masters in Political Science. I am still shocked that I achieved this. Most of the time over the past two years I did not see this happening. In the hospital I wanted to give up. I am so glad that I stuck it out and now I can get a good job! Also I am proud to say that while my body does not look like my pre-pregnancy one, I am below my pre-pregnancy weight. Now just to work on toning up a little.

PS. I plan on taking some three month photos tonight. He has been napping most of the day and it is raining right now. I will definitely post them once I get them taken.
