3 months since you joined our lives and I can't remember what life was like before you were here. It has been a very busy month with Christmas, my birthday and New Years! You have added so much joy to our lives and we just love watching you grow and learn!

You are growing bigger every week and we finally had to move you out of newborn diapers. While most of your newborn clothes still fit, some of your sleepers are starting to get too short. It is bittersweet to pack these away! You were a champ at your 2 month shots (2 months and 1 week) and while your screamed from the pain, you calmed down very quickly. You are a trooper!
We had our last baby time with the Newton group. Here you are with Kate, Michael and Liliana.
This month we joined the Roots of Empathy program. You get to go to David Brankin Elementary and help a class of kindergarten students learn how to be kind and caring and also teach them a bit about how babies grow and develop. You were amazing at the first classroom session! You were awake and alert and enjoyed showing the kids how you do tummy time and they loved measuring you with blocks. They especially enjoyed seeing you have your diaper changed!!
You came to school with mommy to watch the Christmas concert. You and Jillian loved the music! You bounced on my lap for most of the show!
You experienced your first time (Dec 20) out in the snow and you HATED it!!! I took you out in it several times and every time you were happy inside and mad when we got to the snow! You, Phaedra and I also took a trip to the States to get you clothes, mostly for next year. You slept the WHOLE time!
Your Auntie Maya came to meet you and spend some time with you. She enjoyed holding you, watching you smile and you sleeping on her shoulder.
We went to Erika's (Dec 23)for a cookie exchange. You had a great time, until you got so tired that you past out during the pictures!
You enjoyed 2 Christmas dinners. And even though we don't really celebrate, its all about family. We went to Shaun, Sarah and Sophia's on the 24th and Grandma and Grandpa's on the 25th. You looked adorable in your fancy dress. Mommy bought you and Sophia matching tutus! You even helped mama blow out her candles on her birthday cake.
On my birthday, you gave me a super cute card and took me out for lunch! I appreciated it!!! Daddy, you and I had a quiet day together to celebrate...it was a great day!
On New Years we went to a friends house and you were the hit of the party! You enjoyed listening to daddy and his friends play music, you wore you fancy pink ear-muffs! You even stayed up past midnight to celebrate, but at home!
In January you started taking some naps in your crib. Here you are checking it out! You even starting to sleep through the night! On January 4th, you went to bed at 10:30pm and woke up at 7:30am.
Love you Gator!!
Mama
