Update & Happy Easter!


It's just been so busy...I am trying to keep up but haven't had a chance to blog. I have baseball with 2 of the boys, one I am a team parent for, Bryce has basketball and hula still and then there's Kurt I'm just trying to keep up with and boy! He keeps me busy. We have a new fence put in, new sod (yay, grass again after almost 2 years!) and new walkway. My inlaws visited then my brother and his wife and kids were here too. I'm still going to physical therapy for my sciatica, twice a week and started painting our new fence. Believe me, it's just non stop for me!
Starting next week, Kurt will go to his new daycare for 3 days for 1/2 day. Next week I'm back at work. I'll be working from 8 to 2:30pm then I'm off to pick up the kids and then telework the rest of my hours at home. We'll see how those hours fit into my schedule....
Just some info on Kurt and what he's doing now at 3 months....
At 3 months he is holding his bottle, laughing and squealing with delight. He loves to sit up and hates being on his back or sitting in his bouncy chair. The only time he'll lay down is when he's going to sleep or is having his diaper changed. The jumperoo is his favorite place to sit as he can see everyone. He's not quite bouncing in it yet. We are using a pillow to support his feet since he's just 1/2 inch too short to the ground. He laughs when he is tickled. He loves to talk to you when you talk to him. If you sing, he's singing along, at least that's what it sounds like. He loves people and goes to anyone. If you talk to him and give him some attention, he gives you the biggest smile and will even laugh for you. Bathtime is so fun and enjoyable. Kurt loves being in the water and likes to just soak in the tub. If he's not just soaking, he's kicking away. For the most part, he's relaxing in the water. We can't take him out too early or else he throws a hissy fit. So Dave & I usually have to drain the tub and fill it back up with warmer water for him. We just sit and watch him kick, splash, lay in the tub and suck on his hands in the water...We can watch him and not have to hold him b/c the tub we have is a Primo tub (Thanks Wayland & Sharon!). It is a premolded tub that cradles the baby in the water and keeps him from slipping.
Based on reading What to Expect the First Year, Kurt is like a 4-5 months old baby even though he's 3 months. He has reached the millestones of a 4 month old and 1/2 way to a 5 month old baby. Only thing he's not doing yet is, rolling over (he's almost there though) & not eating solids yet. He looks like he's 6-7 months old. I say that b/c the last few weeks I've met some parents w/babies that are 6 or 7 months old and Kurt is just as big as those babies! In fact tonight at dinner, there was a 7 months old baby boy next to us. In comparison, Kurt was much bigger than that 7 month old! The 7 month old's parents were even shocked to see how big Kurt was compared to their son.
Well, I can go on and on about Kurt as there is always something new he surprises us with, but I dont want to bore you! Enjoy the pictures attached.
Hope you all had a nice Easter!! Happy Easter to all of you!! Enjoy the pictures and the family portrait!
