Judah is 3 months old this month. He is coming in to his little personality and it is so fun to watch! He has become much more alert, and much like his older brother, loves to talk. He has happy, content time for about 30mins to an hour after he eats where he will lay on his mat, or swing, or sit in the bumbo and just chatter away, usually with a smile on his face. When he smiles, his whole little face lights up. It's one of my favorite things lately, just sitting and watching him and his happy little self. When he gets upset, he snorts, which is so cute! Hence, the nickname Mr. Piggy, or Isaac calls him George from Peppa Pig. Most of the time, he sleeps pretty well, which is such a change from Curtis. He usually only wakes once, from 2 to 4, sometime in there and then up again by 6ish. But these past few nights, he's been up 3 or 4 times, which has been exhausting since I let myself get used to the good sleep for a while. I'm hoping that starts happening again soon, especially this week with Isaac gone most of the time, a little more sleep would be nice.
Curtis is beginning to be really cute with Judah. When we're playing, he'll bring his little ball with the bell in it and shake it over Judah. I tell Curtis that's how we "play" with Judah right now. He'll lay down beside Judah and try and cuddle with him. He always gives a hug and kiss goodnight. When we're eating breakfast and I'm holding Judah, he'll take a break from eating, hold out his arms waiting for me to give Judah to him. It's so adorable to watch him learning how to be a big brother. It is another one of my new favorite things. He does have his times when he's jealous, wanting to be held while I'm holding Judah, or trying to crawl in to my lap while I'm nursing him. Those things are lessening, though as he gets more and more used to having Judah around.
A few new things with Curtis, he is starting to talk much more, learning to sign more and learning a few new words. The other day, he began putting 2 signs together, either "more milk" or "milk please". We've been working on these for about a year, so I'm excited that he's finally learning these signs. He's becoming much more of a little monkey lately. We moved him in to his new room that has stairs. He enjoys going down the stairs head first, and climbing up the out of the railing and seeing how far he can get himself to the ground without dropping, and then he lets go and drops. He's been trying to climb in to his crib, and Isaac saw him trying to climb out of his crib while he was putting him to bed. Sadly, it will probably be soon that we have to move him to a toddler bed, and I don't think that's gonna go well, but hopefully we can put it off for a few more months.
Other than that, life is pretty much the same around here. Isaac is still doing his shift work. This month, they have taken away their days off during the week, so he's doing 7 days straight with about a day to adjust his body to the next sleep cycle. We are really looking forward to Sept. Isaac goes on leave for 15 days while his family is here. I just keep telling myself we gotta get to then and all this doesn't seem quite so bad. 15 days with Isaac at home will be wonderful!
Here's a few pictures from the last few weeks, Judah's 3 month picture, and Curtis playing in his new room, which is our favorite place in the house now.
This bib was given to Curtis, but for some reason, I never got his picture in it, but I had to get a picture of Judah in it.
There's one of those little smiles he gives.
Curtis loves to play in his bucket.
He was crashing his truck down the stairs and then doing a victory dance. He also does the same victory dance when he knocks his lego towers down.
This is why Curtis loves to play in his bucket, b/c Isaac picks the bucket up and swings it around.
