Almost 3 Months

Well, as of this coming Sunday, Peter is 3 months old! He continues to amaze us with how much cuteness he can continue to produce... can a kid get any cuter? We're still working on the routine thing, trying to get some organization into our days. The past few days that's been a little tough, as I think he's going through a bit of a growth spurt and he wants to eat all the time! He's been a little grumpier than usual as well, and I'm not sure if that's to do with the growth spurt or the fact he hasn't pooped in a week. Yup, a week. I've done some research online and apparently it is normal for this to happen, but it seems a little wrong to me. I'm afraid to take him out anywhere in fears that he's just going to explode some place where I can't keep him contained! I guess I've just got to wrap him in a grocery bag when we leave the house, haha. Other than this, though, things are going well. He's really starting to grab things and with that, stick them in his mouth. And let the drool begin!

Peter and His New Presents

Peter likes hanging out on the couch -
kicking, babbling, smiling, and drooling :)
He likes this enormous green frog which we got at the
Eleveld Christmas party. He gets excited when I put it beside him
and he tries to cuddle up with itIn his new Bumbo chair - his head is getting pretty strong
but we want to wait a bit before letting him sit in it on his own Kitty got jealous of all Peter's new toys
so she thought she'd try it out for herselfNow he gets to sit in his new high chair and watch his Mom cook supperI think he likes it!He's not too into smiling for the camera though

Kazillion Pictures

Alright... I just loaded up a kazillion pictures for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately, they are not in any logical order, and it would take me WAY too long to arrange them so you'll have to just enjoy them as they are! It flips back and forth between 2 months, Peter's baptism, and Christmas time.
