Three Months Old!

Happy three months, little guy!

Things Lyndon has learned in the last 3 months:

• how to breathe
• how to eat
• how to smile
• how to hold his head up
• who his mommy and daddy are
• how to charm his grandparents into doing anything for him

Things I have learned in the last 3 months:

• how to change a diaper
• how to change a diaper without getting peed on every time
• that what I thought of as sleep training had very little to do with it
• how to go from sound asleep to wide awake at the slightest noise
• exactly how little sleep I need to function
• how to ask doctors dumb questions
• that I am not always right, nor do I know everything
• how to spend every waking moment of an entire day thinking about serving someone else

I'm not sure who's learned more, me or the little guy.

Tummy Time

Our little guy is officially three months old tomorrow, although he was 12 weeks old last Saturday. It's been a big week for him. His Grammy got him a mirror designed for tummy time, and suddenly, what used to be a chore is now playtime.

  Add in a Boppy, and we're finally enjoying this tummy time thing!

It's paying off, too. His head is already looking less flat, and yesterday, our little guy rolled over! He didn't seem to know how he did it, so I'm not expecting it to be a common occurrence just yet, but the point is, he can do it!

What kid gets to say that he knew his great-great-grandmother? That's right. Our kid. :-)

And, just for fun, here's the more laid back version.

(What can I say? Our little guy smiles with his whole body.)

I'm so glad to have so much family. I haven't had much extended family since I was little, but I married into the jackpot!

technology troubles solved!

This post brought to you by my brand new Dell netbook... which was brought to me by the generous check the post office sent us. :[) Despite all their incompetence, they do keep their word.

*aside* As I typed the previous paragraph, Lyndon grabbed one of his toys-- the first time he's done it on purpose! He's blowing raspberries too, also a new skill.

I won't even try to update you on all we've been doing in the last two months . . . but this about sums it up:

Why I Haven't Been Posting

Hello there. Remember me? I have been on a (inflicted, not chosen) leave of absence from the blogging world for several weeks now, and I finally got some time on hubby's computer to tell you why. After only a few weeks of basking in the glory of my netbook, it broke. Some of the keys stopped working. Not a big deal, we thought. It's still under warranty. We'll just send it back to Acer, and they will fix it. We failed to take into account the incompetence of USPS. My laptop came back, damaged, and Acer refused to accept it. Good thing I insured it. (Also good thing the guy stamped "Fragile" all over the packaging, but I digress.)

To make a long story short, USPS is processing our claim, and we should receive either a check or my poor, broken netbook in a few weeks. So, until then, this is Meredith, signing off . . .

Breakin' the Rules

Just because Lyndon has his own crib doesn't mean we can't do this on occasion . . .

Pure Bliss

After only a few days, our little guy LOVES his crib.

This is the face of contentment, no?

(Note the bad case of bed-head. And the Tigger outfit? That's a 3 month sleeper. :-) )
