3 months old

Where has the time gone?  I feel like just yesterday I was in the hospital having you!
You continue to grow and change right before our very eyes.  
I am seriously loving this stage (but I'm sure I'll say that about ALL of them).
You are an extremely happy baby (most of the time).  You love to people watch and are always smiling... 
you have also turned into quite the flirt?!?

Wanna be Hugh Hefner!

Baby Stats

Sleep:  
You sleep SO good!
According to studies, infants need between 14-15 hours per day, however most only get about 12... 
NOT Brycen... 
you make sure to get 14-15 each and every day (and if you don't, you are extra cranky)
At night, you sleep between 10.5-12 hours which is AMAZING (for mommy and daddy too)!

Daily Routine:  
Your daily routine is pretty predictable!
You wake up between 8 and 9 am to eat... then play... then nap for 45 minutes... play some more... and repeat.  However, before your last bottle, you usually nap for 1.5-2 hours (which is great cuddle time for mommy and daddy!).  You then eat, hang out for 15-20 minutes before going to bed.  Most nights you are asleep within minutes.

Loving bath time

The smile that lights up my world

Diaper Size:

Clothing Size:
Your clothing is matching up pretty close to your age...
except for the fact that "pants" are really shorts on you!
You are in 3 month clothing, with 3-6 month on the (very near) horizon!

Hanging out in your jumper

So curious

Favorite toy/entertainment:
This is a toss up...
You LOVE your play mat, but you are also very fond of your hands.  
Regardless of the toy, it finds its way right to your mouth!

Nicknames:
Brycen Burrito... handsome man... Monkey doodle... Chunka monk

Oh What's this stuff?

Funniest Moment:
Your Jekyll and Hyde moment...
Daddy was holding you because you were being a little fussy. 
Well, all of a sudden you broke out into an all out scream/cry. 
\In shock, we just looked at you... you opened your eyes for a split second, and your face slowly morphed from red and screaming... to fussy... to a HUGE gummy grin (and a little giggle).
And then you were fine!
We couldn't help but laugh at you.

Favorite Moment:
Seeing you roll over for the first time.  I was so proud of you, and so very happy that I was able to catch in on video.  You haven't done it since, but you try ALL the time.  You have figured out that you can simply scoot to what you want rather than roll over.

EVERYTHING goes into your mouth!

Milestones:
Rolling over!
Grasping objects with both hands
Picking up objects on your own and passing them from hand to hand

Firsts: 
First time rolling over from back to tummy
First time in your doorway jumper
First time being babysat by a non-family member
First trip to the pumpkin patch
First time feeling grass

With your lovie

I cannot wait to see what you do next... but please, slow down a little bit!

I can't think of anything better in this world than to be your mommy!
