Three months!

Ok so the bun is definite well out of the over at this point so my blog title doesn't really fit anymore but I wanted to post a little update!

So today marks Finn's third month and things are going very well. Granted it hasn't all been easy, but adjusting to being parents has actually been less of a struggle than we thought. We have been taking him out since 8 days and he is quite the well adjusted fellow. He's been on a few road trips (Kalispell and Salt Lake) and overall he did pretty well! He went to the majority of Brett's tennis matches and then to several of mine and he loves going for walks!

He is also growing like crazy-wearing pretty much all 6 month clothing and above 90th percentile in head size, weight, and length! Sometimes we have to remind ourselves he's still technically an infant even though he doesn't look like it at all. He's still a very content, happy boy and is just starting to learn how to reach for mom. He's trying to roll over but not quite there yet and still despises tummy time though we did get in a good session yesterday. 

Lots of smiles-his face just lights up when you talk to him. He's a big fan of music and likes watching tv if something particularly colorful is on! He also really enjoys baths and getting his diaper changed haha. He has been "talking" to us a lot as well as starting to laugh which is so so cute! He likes to stand up if you are holding him. He has also had three nights in a row, now, of 6+ hours of straight sleep! Hooray!

As many of you reading this probably know, Finn really struggled with breast feeding so I have been pretty much exclusively pumping and giving him bottles. I had tried literally everything and just decided that's what I'd do. I would try from time to time to nurse but he was just not having it, even with the shield. Oh well, at least he was still getting the good stuff! Well the other day I decided I'd try again and really be patient with him. Turns out it was a lot easier than I expected and he's been nursing ever since! Who woulda thunk?! I'll still pump as well for babysitting purposes but this is just so exciting. And Finn's happy about it too! He frequently stops for a second, smiles at me, and goes back to eating-a truly special experience.

Finn really has enriched our lives more than we ever though possible. He is such a blessing and we are thankful for him every day! We are heading to Jackson next weekend to have him baptized and are really looking forward to that :)
