3 Months Home

Better late than never...as with all children after your first getting any sort of update up always happens a week or so after the fact I feel like (Don't even mention the poor state of any type of baby book for any of the kids, sooo bad at that ... anyone else?!?!) 

May 23, 2017 marked 3 months home with Theo! We are learning more and more about our boy as the days go by. We are learning what makes him happy, what makes him sad, what makes him laugh, what makes him grumpy. This 3rd month has marked a lot of firsts with our guy and we are just happy to have the opportunity to celebrate those firsts with him as his family. 

Theo loves: Moana (he sings and does the dances like Maui), he loves mornings and breakfast time - a few days a week I try to carve out enough time so I can sit with him while he eats his oatmeal or waffles and I drink a small cup of coffee before I head to work, he loves bath time, he loves saying prayers because he has a good AMEN down, he loves playing outside and riding his tricycle and our red little tikes car and he loves a good fist bump to explode!

Firsts:  First time away from home with us as a family - we traveled to Virginia to visit my grandma for her 90th birthday and we all stayed in her old house in her itty bitty town for 3 nights and he really did great. I'm so happy for him to experience having a HOME to come back to after some time away. First time swimming that I can tell because although he loves water he was not a fan at first of what it feels like to not have a ground beneath your feet...we are getting better though at trusting mommy and our floaties so we can kick and swim. First time having a sitter that was not family, we have a great neighbor girl who is watching them 3 days a week while I work so we can give my aunt some time off for the summer, they all love her. We also registered him for school next year...his first school will be a 3 day preschool that meets for a couple hours in the morning, it's the same teacher G had last year and he has met her and has been through car line, music program and teddy bear parade over there with G's class so I feel good about what that means for Theo and his start in the classroom!

Thankful for each day that marks another day with us as we keep working on building trust and love for our boy...it does not always come natural but we are getting there and at the end of the day I get to tuck him in and know he is safe, loved, has a full belly and a bright future!
