3 MONTHS OLD!!!

I can't believe my baby boy is 3 months old already!! It still seems like just yesterday that he was just a dream of ours! Oh how God has blessed us! He hasn't been to the Dr. since his 2 month appointment, but he's definitely getting bigger. Just today (Sunday) he was able to wear a pair of his 0-3 month jeans to church without them falling off when he's picked up! :) With the exception of today, he's been a pretty happy baby, crying only when he's hungry and tired. He's sleeping completely through the night (has been since 7 weeks old). Goes to bed about 8:30-9:00 and sleeps till 7 usually! It's WONDERFUL!! Especially since I'm starting back to work this week ( still on nights for now until I transfer to NICU ) so when I'm working day shift and have to get up at 5:00 I won't have been up with him 2 times during the night. Such a good boy :) When he's fussy he likes to be held upright over my shoulder and we have to be standing or walking around. He does NOT like being held like a baby or me sitting down! But he goes down for naps with no crying or just a minute of it. He's been trying to figure out what his hands can do. Looking at them and putting anything in his mouth (ex. fingers, bibs, shirts, etc). He likes to hold his bottle too. Now that he knows his hands are attached, he's working on noticing his feet. Learning something new everyday. Eating good too - between 6 and 7 ounces every 4 hours till bed. I think that's about it as far as updates. Daddy took Luke with him tonight and tomorrow down to the camp where they hunt....which will be kinda nice cause I can make sure and get plenty of sleep for my back to work alnighter tomorrow night! I'm really gonnna miss the little guy though :( Oh yeah, I now have a MySpace page as well (since you have to become a member to view others' pages). It is myspace.com/angelaestes621. I don't know how well I'll keep updated with it, especially going back to work, but it's at least started if you want to check it out.I don't think daddy's keeping a very good eye on me....
As mentioned above....trying to suck on my shirt

Is that a mischevous face or what??


Having a DEEP conversation...don't interrupt!

Quite amused by his mobile. Talking with the fishies.


"Abigail, get off of my seat!"


Maybe I'll play basketball like daddy did?!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Happy Happy Easter to everyone!! What an important day! :) The first couple of pictures are just a few random ones from the last week or so. This weekend though was quite busy for us and Luke. Saturday afternoon was a baby shower for one of my childhood friends Amy. She is going to be having a little girl in June. After the shower Luke napped at Grandma and Grandpa Kandels and we went back over at 5:30 for a belated birthday celebration for mommy. We had delicious steaks, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, salad, and rolls...and for dessert, mandarin orange cake (which by the way, although it contains some mandarin oranges, it does not taste like mandarin oranges) Everything was quite yummy! We visited, opened presents, and played Apples to Apples. Luke went to bed there but we had to wake him up at 11:30 to go home :( Sunday we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Estes and spent the day relaxing and watching golf/CAVS game. Luke took a nice long nap there too in the afternoon. My sissy Julie was home for the weekend which was very nice...but we missed aunt Heather!

Luke looks slighty surprised....which he shouldn't since there is a camera in his face ALL the time!


Daddy left me here all by myself! Help mommy!

Loves and kisses from daddy! Mr. Prickly face.
