Let the Christmases begin!

We kicked off our first Christmas celebration with my mom's side of the family on December 16. Hazen was so excited to finally meet Aunt Vicki and Uncle Bruce and of course spend time playing with his cousins! It's always so fun to get together, especially when we get to see Gramps and Grandma Jan!

3 months old!!

I can't believe my little guy is 3 months old! Time is going by so fast but it is so much fun to watch him grow, mature, and change. He is the happiest baby and his smiles and coos melt my heart. He has now started to become really interested in his toys. His favorite is his "farm" where he loves to grab the dangling toys. He also loves his bumbo seat. He's so proud of himself when he's sitting up in it. According to our bathroom scales he weighs about 11 1/2 pounds now! Over the past 2 weeks he's started wearing his 0-3 months clothes and I just packed away his newborn stuff which made his mommy really sad. He sleeps in his crib every night like such a big boy and now only wakes up to eat at midnight and 4 am and I'm appreciating the extra Z's! His favorite time of day is morning. He is so happy and smiley that it makes waking up in the morning awesome! He loves when his mommy and daddy sing and dance for him while we are getting ready, although I'm still deciding whether he's laughing with us or at us! :) We can't wait for all of the amazing changes that are still to come!

Working Momma

Last week was my first full week back to work. I can't believe how fast my time at home with Hazen flew by! I loved every minute of being home and at first was sad to go back. But that was before I saw how much Hazen enjoyed all of his babysitters. He's quite the traveling exhibit until we get into a daycare. He plays with Gigi (Cole's mom) on Mondays and Thursdays, our friend Erin and her 5 month old daughter Kloey on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and Boppy (my dad) on Fridays. Well each day was quite the adventure and mom and dad have learned to be very organized getting everything prepared the night before! I am so excited that he gets to spend a few days a week interacting with another baby. I can't believe how spending time with Kloey made him become so much more active in just 2 days! Plus, he's comfortable enough in his manhood to play with all of her pink toys!! His mommy misses him so much but God blessed us with the perfect set up right now and I am beyond thankful!!

Big boy!

Lately Hazen has been holding his head up so well that I decided to try out his bumbo seat. It was a hit! He loves it and is so proud of himself for being such a big boy! I can't believe he's 12 weeks old today! Time is going by way too fast!
