3 Months



How Big? 13.8 Pounds when I weighed him a few days ago...idk how off that'll be from the pediatrician though.

Clothing Size? 0-3

What/When Is he Eating? He eats every 3 hours during the day. At night he has his last feeding around 10 and sleeps until about 8am.

How is he sleeping? I've been told not to talk about this because you will jinx yourself...lol but he's sleeping from about 10-8 with no wake ups.

Movements? This child is a moving machine. Seriously, i'll put him down for tummy time and all the sudden he has scooted a foot away.

Milestones? He giggled! He's sitting up in his bumbo and he tried his bouncer out the other day. He's not quite got the hang of that one yet though.

Hardest moment of the week? He didnt poop all day and he was trying soo hard, he seemed a little fussy. Bless his heart.

Best Moment of the week? EVERYTHING. Good lord, you guys! I love being this kids mom. We made it an entire week of all night sleeping that was a pretty big deal!

How is Braxi doing as big brother? Braxi is a great big brother. He still doesn't like strangers to come in the house and especially not near Sam. He is very protective and loving. I think he misses being the center of attention though. It's been a hard transition on both of us, I feel so wrapped up in Sam that sometimes I dont give him the amount of attention that I use to. I hate that it happens

DIY Faux metal letters.

While I was nursing Sam I was looking at my daily deals on my phone. I came across metal letters and thought they'd be so cute above Sam's crib, seeing as I still haven't decorated that part of his room. Then I saw they are only 9" and decided I wanted oversized letters instead--well those my friends are expensive! Therefore---my cheapness comes out. Off to JoAnns I went for 23.5" letters.

We had some spray paint in the garage so I used that--luckily it was exactly what I was wanting. No idea when I bought it or how long it's been in there, but that's beside the point!!!

 
I did a quick spray paint job and let them dry for a few hours then had my hubby hang them...hanging anything on the wall is NOT one of my strong points.
Here they are all done! Love a quick afternoon project.



 
I love how they turned out.
