You have just reached the 3 month milestone in your journey, which I found out means you've had to give up your newborn title and move onto the very progressive title of infant. We are so glad that we were chosen to be your parents.
This month you learned to stick out your tongue, grasp and hold objects (with a much stronger left hand currently) and you've started to move yourself when placed on your tummy. A little wriggle if you will. We'll find you halfway up your crib from where we placed you and sometimes even sideways.
This month your dad and I got to go on a belated 5 year anniversary dinner while you stayed with our friends Paul & Alisha. They have 4 little girls who like to just smile and coo over you.
This month has had some very hard times as well.
Your great grandfather suffered a massive stroke while away in Halifax and when your grandma, and great aunts rushed out to be with him and your great-Nanny. You and I headed over to grandma's house to run her dog kennel and keep an eye on your grumpa. This proved quite tough with you and up to a dozen dogs to look after. We managed somehow.
Unfortunately your great-grandpa passed away a week later. I am so happy he got to meet you and hold you!
During the funeral your Aunt Kristy offered to take the day off of work to watch you. You did great and made all that pumping worth it knowing you were managing just fine.
Your dad had a trip to Calgary and you and I went and stayed with your great-Nanny. It was a fun visit where she snuggled and held you lots and helped me when I couldn't seem to comfort you.
You met some other aunties of yours this month for the first time, lydia and andrea and kyla, you also got to meet grandma bev and gord. They just loved you the moment they saw and held you. You are so beautiful and smile so easily with a grin that lights up your entire face.
We had a brunch with your auntie jennie bess and josh during our thanksgiving weekend, in which you behaved perfectly as you always seem to! Than we were off to Aunt Jackie's for a family thanksgiving, where you got to meet poppy for the first time.
You're getting better and better in your carseat and stroller. i have hope that one day we'll be able to complete walks without you screaming the entire time. We bought you some new clothes this month and everyone who sees you comment son how absolutely handsome you are.
We love seeing you grow and find new things such as your hands and feet and the way you grin so very much.
mommy & daddy
