3 month check up

Mateo had his three month check up last week. The doctor was very impressed with his ability to hold his head. She said that usually babies can't control their head like this until they are 4 months old. Of course we are proud parents. He is a big boy, weighing 14 pounds 10 ounces. We think he would have been over 15 pounds had he not been sick the weekend before.

Grandma Boo's visit

Grandma Boo came down to visit for the weekend. We really enjoyed getting to play with her but it went by too fast.

Bath time

Reading a book after bathtime.

Kaden enjoys having this big bathtub to herself.

Mateo has just recently started enyoing his baths. Soon he will get to enjoy the big bathtub with his sister.

Kaden at the playground

I love this picture. It is so sweet to see Kaden walking with her Daddy.
This is the first time that Kaden went down the slide by herself. Kaden didn't hate the slide but didn't love it either.

Daddy's little girl.

Peek a boo

Look at me driving.

We took Kaden to the park in our neighborhood and let her walk around. She did much better than we thought she would do. Once she got to the grass she stopped and didn't want to walk anymore. I hope she isn't going to be miss prissy.

Mateo smiling

I can't believe that Mateo is 3 months old today. He has grown so much. He now smiles all the time and Gilbert has heard him laugh. He has slept through the night 4 times this week. I hope that this will become a habit. He is adjusting to daycare better than I thought he would, although he has already caught a cold. I am not sure what he weighs now but we are going to the doctor next week for his 3 month check up.

New Hair Cut

I was well over due for a new hair style. I am very pleased with this hair cut. My hair is too short to put in a pony tail so this forces me to style it. On another note, I start back to work in the office tomorrow. I'm sad about leaving Mateo at day care. I thought it would be easier the second time around but it is just as hard. Mateo is not as easy going as Kaden was as a baby. He does not like the bouncy seat or the swing and demands to be held otherwise he screams. At day care they can not hold him all day. I have tried my best to get him used to the bouncy seat and swing but I was not very successful. I just pray that his first few days are not to hard on him.

New Toys

Stephanie gave Kaden this great toy that is a magnet for the fridge. It is a farm and you match the animals. We love it!
Santa brought this walker to Kaden. She doesn't need help walking now but it encourages her to walk instead of crawling. She is walking great bare foot. Now we are working on her walking with shoes on.

Christmas Day

Our Christmas Tree. Kaden liked looking at the lights on the tree. Maybe next year she can help decorate it.
Hmm... Wonder what it is. Could it be a baby Einstein DVD?

Mateo woke up about half way through opening gifts.

Kaden is still too young to understand what is going on but it was fun to watch her tear the paper. Of course then she wanted to put it in her mouth.

We had a very nice and quiet Christmas. We spent it just the 4 of us and enjoyed some great family time.
