3 Months Old

Jack is 3 months old today and I'm so proud of my little guy, he's developing into such a little man already.  His personality is really starting to come out, his smile just makes me melt! -seriously this kid is going to get away with anything and everything if he keeps this up!  All he has to do is flash me that toothless grin and I fall in love with him all over again.   Speaking of teeth (or lack there of) we are teething already!!!  He started at about 2.5 months but I didn't figure it out right away.  This would explain a lot of his crankiness.  He's got a couple of white nubs under the skin on his bottom (front) jaw that haven't poked through yet, but they definitely bother him.  I'm not really sure what to do to comfort him since he is still too young to hold on to the teether by himself.  He loves Sophie the giraffe but I have to hold the toy in his mouth while he gnaws on it.  He's constantly gnawing on his fist and trying to shove the entire thing in his mouth.

nom nom nom nom.......

I've also come to the conclusion that keeping a baby book or anything like it is just something I'm NOT nor probably ever will be good at!  I find myself constantly taking mental notes to jot this or that down, today was a first of this or that, and then I swear it completely leaves my mind forever.  So I guess this blog will just have to do.

We've had such fun getting into the fall spirit at our house.  Got giant mums and pumpkins for the front porch, took pictures of Jack with the pumpkins...(of course!!), decorated the mantel over the fireplace, and the BEST part of all, we've been having fires in the fireplace.  I LOVE the smell of a wood burning fireplace.  There is nothing better than having a fire on a cool night, getting into our pj's and snuggling up with our little Jack monster.

  We decorated the front porch with pumpkins and of course had to take picks!  It was such a warm fall day, as you can see Jack is sporting shorts and a tee.
