3 Months Old!

On Sunday, I turned 3 months old.  I can hold my head up pretty steadily and turn it side to side to follow the voices of the people I love.  I also move my head quickly to watch my puppies play.  I love to have stories read to me.  I study the pictures and giggle at the voices and faces of whomever is reading to me, especially GM, Mommy, and Daddy.  Music makes me smile and I love to "coo" along while kicking my feet.  Every morning when I wake up, I check to make sure my feet are still there.  My hands are always either on my feet or in my mouth.  I am wearing 3-6 month clothing now, although some of my pants are a bit long.  I can sit up in my Bumbo seat and love being carried in a wrap or Baby Bjorn.  Being outside always makes me calm and peaceful.  This month I have started playing with toys by grabbing them and looking at them.  I am a sweet, happy baby boy!

There's a Boston Terrier pirate on my onesie!

I watched the OU/Florida State game with Uncle Seth.  He actually contained some of his signature football reactions so as not to wake me from my nap.  What a nice uncle!

I love to snuggle with my puppy - and Tank and Bella:)

Happy boy hanging out with Daddy

Ready for some OU Football!




Hey, how come I've never noticed that caterpillar before? 

I'm over this photo session.  I think I'll scream now.

My Baby Naming - The Movie


Here is the video of the ceremony filmed by Sammy Griffin.  Thank you Sammy!!! Don't make fun of my mommy for her constant movement - that's how she kept me happy:)  Enjoy!

My Trip to Virginia and My Baby Naming

What a busy few weeks I've had!  I have met more fantastic friends and family.  Guess what?  I went on the airplane to Richmond, Virginia for my Great Oma's 90th Birthday party!  It was a fun surprise, although I slept through the excitement for the most part.  I was a good boy on the plane, except for when I pooped on Daddy.  He didn't think it was as funny as I did.  While cruising on the airplane, I found my feet!  They are really neat little things.  Sometimes they have toes and sometimes they are covered in silly socks.  Very interesting either way. 

After we got back from Virginia, lots of friends and family came into town to celebrate my Hebrew Naming ceremony.  I have mastered my "good baby" performance technique as shown by my quiet and happy behavior during the ceremony.  Take a look at all the fun pictures of my latest adventures.

Finally, somebody realized I was starving.  Thanks Finn!

Uncle Charlie and Aunt Janet letting me enjoy some fresh air

My Godfather, Uncle Luke. I was so enthralled with him, I ate double what I usually do.  I was trying to impress the big boys.

Check out the awesome spread for the Oneg Shabbat after my naming.  Too bad I don't eat solid foods.  Bummer.

My mommy's friend, Saradee, made these beautiful cookies for us!

Awe, Mommy and me!

Thanks for all of your help, Aunt Betty!  My pups sure appreciated the attention too:)


Ready for the game with Cousin Sean and Kendal

Mommy used pictures of me and lots of different family members to make table decorations

Cousins Eric and Cory.  Mommy used to call him Cousin Icky when she was little, but he's not so icky.  I liked them!

GM picked out these pretty flowers for the Bema.

Check me out!  I'm listening to the Rabbi during my naming with Mommy, Daddy, and Natalie (my Godmother rocks).
