3 Months:)

I really can't believe Rhys is already 3 months old. I have to be honest, at 2 weeks I didn't think I would make it! But here we are! He is absolutely precious! He laughed out loud for the first time Friday night and I cried my eyes out! It is the sweetest sound ever! Brett was playing with Max and Rhys was watching and just started laughing! Ahhhh....such a blessing! He did a little laugh for me today, and another big one tonight when I was throwing Max's toy! I am so blessed to be able to stay at home with him! Everyday is something new!

Here are a few more things that he is doing these days:

he loves to suck on his hands! keeps them at his mouth all of the time!


when he gets excited he kicks super hard and throws his hands around. sometimes I think he is going to fly out of his bouncy seat! so funny to watch him do this!

loves his bath time with dad! and I swear it is the highlight of Brett's day too!

he takes 6 ounces of formula and a rice bottle before bed. my niece is 7 months and takes 6 ounces! this is crazy to me! I think baby food is in our near future!

tummy time is growing on him. before he would scream to be flipped over. now he can handle it in spurts!

he LOVES to stand up! I swear he would do it all day.

he tries so hard to sit up when he is laying in his boppy! poor guy just wants to get up and go!


Ok ok, enough already! Here are some pictures I snapped tonight!





My favorite!

Lately


On Friday December 10, Brett, Rhys and I flew to Las Vegas to see my brother get married! Some might think we were crazy to take our 3 month old on a plane, across the country, but we were really comfortable with our decison to go! We love traveling toooo much, so we knew Rhys would have to adapt to that! He did amazing on the plane. He slept most of the time and when he did wake up he wanted to look around and check things out! Such a good baby! We seriously couldn't ask for him to be any better!

Headed to the Little White Wedding Chapel!

For you Allison!
Brett and Rhys at the Chapel! RiRi woke up for the ceremony!

My mom has been living in Palm Springs, CA. So, onn Sunday Brett, Rhys, mom and I drove to Palm Springs from Vegas. Brett flew home Monday afternoon, but Rhys and I stayed until Thursday. Mom flew back with us so I wouldn't have to fly by myself with Rhys and for Christmas of course! I loved California and think Rhys did too! It was really warm when we were there so he loved being outstide! Then we came back home to 40 degree weather! But hey, it's Christmas right?! I will leave you with a few pictures of the California man himself!
