Aaron and Jessica: A Month Full of Updates

{3 Months Old}

My baby is now 3 months old!! We have loved every second and can't wait for the new stages. Bridger changes so much everyday. We love our little man.

Happenings for your 3rd month

You are still the happiest baby, that is when we know something is wrong when you are sad because it is so unlike you.
You are such a little monster. You love to growl. Especially when you are trying to eat the couch, your blankie, your bib or mama and daddy's bed. It is so funny.
I have found your ticklish spot and you are ticklish. You are still learning how to laugh so you only laugh sometimes and it is so cute.
You have discovered your hands and I love it. You mostly like to suck on them but every once in a while I catch you analyzing them and checking them out.
You have started to grab on to things. You love to grab you crab toy that goes above you.
You are starting to like tummy time more and more and you are so close to rolling over. Seriously you are almost there.
You sleep so good. You go down at 8 and get up at 5 to eat and then go back down for 3-4 hours. We are not through the night yet but almost. At least you let your mama and daddy sleep in till 8 or 9.
You have to always were bibs now, you spit up a lot more and also you are becoming a very big drooler. {Fun fact: before you were born when I would see any kid spit up or drool I would seriously dry heave. But now I will get spit up in my hair and it will crust up and I won't wash it out till the next day or so. Gross I know but if you are a mama you can understand}
I did not notice until a few days ago when we were at a family event but you recognise strangers now. You get scared when you don't know who is holding you very well and your mama or daddy is not around. You make the cutest sad face and pout your bottom lip.
You still love books and are starting to watch TV and movies. You love all of the fun colors.
You really are so photogenic. You love your mama's phone {because the cover is fun polka dots} You seriously smile and pull the cutest faces when you see it. You love the camera and it loves you!

Bridger you are growing up and getting so big. You are more alert everyday and notice your surroundings so much. You are such a smart baby and your mama and daddy love watching you discover new things. You are the funniest little baby and you make us so happy!

{Primary Children's}

Bridger got his final cast off Thursday. Yahoo!! His foot looks great, you never would of know it was turned in at all. His foot and leg are just a little flattened and squished from the cast but after a few days of bottles it should plump out and be back to normal.

I will admit having the cast off for Bridger is not so fun at first at least because his foot and leg are hypersensitive from being in a cast for 2 months. So do have to slowly desensitize it by rubbing and massaging it with lotion and just touching it so he gets used to it. Now we just have to get his brace down!

Yay no more casts! Little man always does so good at the doctors.

The brace shoes are not super attractive, in fact I prefer the cast to them, but what can you do?!

So with these bad boy markers and about 3 hours last night we transformed his brace. . .

. . .into some rockstar kicks

Little man seriously loves his cast off. When he had his cast he could lift his leg up and down and that was about it. Now his leg is free, free at last! Bridger seriously moves his legs now a million miles a hour. He loves to go to town kicking. It makes him so happy, which makes for a happy mama.

Now we had a happy baby to begin with and he is even more happy with a free leg but and that is a very big BUT there is of course a downfall, {his brace} He {HATES} and I do not like the word hate but it is the most appropriate word for the situation. Bridger does not like his brace at all!

This is the little man about 5 min before he realized he had his brace on. Happy, in a good mood. . .

. . .and here we are 10 min later

Such a sad baby, breaks a mama's heart. Seriously the saddest/maddest cry ever.

. . .don't think I am a bad mama taking pictures of my screaming baby. I don't really have a choice, he has to cry a little. This is the only way little man will get used to his brace. Also I only let him cry for like 10 min
And no joke here is Bridger 10 min after the brace came off and he was able to calm down.

We really are in trouble, we are supposed put little man in his brace 3 hours a day and add hours each day until 23 hours a day. And he barely can handle a hour. It doesn't hurt him really he just has to learn how to move both legs as one and the shoes have to be snug and tight on his little feet. So overall it is not to fun or comfortable in the beginning. We will get there though. Not to mention we have to check his feet every couple hours when he is in the shoes, we have to check for redness and blisters. Does not sound fun.
So there is that story.
{Life}
It has a busy month but isn't it always busy with a baby?! Pictures tell what has been going on with life best

{First Time Camping}

It was our first taste of Fall at the KOA so we had to keep little man bundled

Second Cousins

{Cascade Springs}

I love, love, LOVE the fall and it is so pretty up in the canyon right now. I don't know what I would do if the canyon was not so close. I love the canyon in the fall. It is gorgeous and Bridger enjoyed himself too.

Bridger loves being outside as it is but he loved the canyon. All the colors and noises he could of stayed entertained for ever.

mmmmm delisious Mi Ranchitos after.

{Gardner Villiage}
We had a little family date for my birthday. Thats right I turned the big 23. So old I know :)

{2 month checkup}

Head-47% tile

Height-72% tile

Weight-55% tile

Bridger did so good with his shots, he only cried for a minute or so.

So I am so glad our little man has a good head of hair but I was just waiting for him to get the inevitable baby bald spot. He is getting it and I am sad but I hope it does not last long. So we are doing a lot of tummy time.
And little man doesn't like it so much. . . .
