Our Boy

It's so hard to believe our boy is three months old. 

His coos and smiles grow more a part of his sunny personality everyday. So does his intense focus and concentration. Today we experienced what Elias will do when he doesn't want to take a nap - cry for an hour. (He was fine afterward and then slept for the next three and a half hours). 

His new favorite thing to do is sit on my hip while I'm working around the house. He'll sit up straight with his little head bobbing from side to side like a wise old man surveying people's actions and making observations. 

What else has he done in the past three months? 

Spent time with Grandma Frantz

Watched the snow fall during the winter storms we've had. 

Met his Aunt Andrea face to face.

Done "tummy time" - and hated it! 

Slept.

Prayed with Mommy for friends and family.

Discovered how to get his fingers into his mouth - a most satisfying snack.

Painted with Adopted Aunt Bethany at church - love her hat on his little head.

Took naps with Daddy.

Fussed.

Charmed.

Smiled.

Laughed.

And best of all - spent lots of time with cousins!

Your monkey...though he's not a cousin, you adore him.

What an eventful three months! I'm sure Elias is worn out...

...But we look forward to more memories to come.
