3 months ago…
7
Our little Britton was born! I can’t believe he’s already 3 months. It seems like it’s gone by so fast, but at the same time, it seems like forever ago.
I weighed him on the Wii this morning, and it says he weighs 13 pounds. Apparently his growth has slowed down, because he’s only gained a pound in the past 3 weeks. But, he seems to be getting bigger and chunkier to me. He is about 24 inches long. Brit is still sleeping well at night, only getting up once to eat (though, that time varies from 4-6 am) and then gets up around 8 or 8:30.
It’s really hot here, and he gets really hot when he sleeps, but I still have to swaddle him or he wakes himself up–seriously. Mark watched Brit Saturday morning and he got him to take a 2 hour nap. Brit probably would have kept sleeping if we hadn’t gone in to get him. I asked Mark his secret, since he only sleeps about 20-30 minutes at a time for me. He swaddled him. So, I’ve been trying it during the day too and it works better than just leaving him. But, I feel bad doing it.
Mark had his first Father’s Day on Sunday. He got breakfast, his favorite meat for dinner and a special request dessert (Triple Chocolate Chip Cheesecake) that actually turned out quite well–despite being something I’ve never made before and it required a lot of steps. He also got a couple of presents, but my favorite is the one from Brit.
He wanted to tell his dad something…
For his Blessing, Brit’s Grandpa Jim gave him a couple of toys that he loves to play with.
Brit is in love with his hands these days…they’re always going in his mough when he’s bored, tired, or hungry. I caught him falling asleep while trying to stuff both fists in.
And, he finally fits into his outfit that we bought for our baby before it even existed…I’m glad things worked out and it fits at the right time. It was so cute I just had to buy it. It fits him well too…whenever I see him I just want to Squeeze him.
I’ve noticed how big his eyes are in most of his pictures, and I have 2 theories:
1. His eyes really are huge and he can’t help it
2. He is very curious and when he sees the camera come out he has to look at it, making a wide-eyed expression.
Either way, I love it!

I’ve heard (not totally legit but whatever) that our eyes stay the same size throughout our lives, they never grow. That’s why babies eyes always look so big! On the other hand, I’ve heard that our ears never stop growing!

Cute! Wow, you are lucky he sleeps so well at night. I always swaddled Mateo for naps at that age and he would sleep 2 hours (in the swing). Don’t feel bad!

I think Dad’s are told about swaddling by the Nurses. Brad did the same thing and I was impressed.

Spencer gets all hot and sweaty when he sleeps at night so I keep him stripped down to his diaper with socks on and then swaddle his arms. I feel bad too, like he’s always in a straight Jacket! He has adorable doe eyes
Happy belated first Father’s Day to Mark. -

Kirsten! I saw your mom on Friday at Riley’s wedding and she told me about your website. Your little guy is adorable. I can’t wait to meet him. I was looking at your blog and noticed that you are friends with Angie. I work with her husband (and her, but she is at a different building). Such a small world. Our blog is http://thewhitesidesfamily.blogspot.com/ if you ever want to see what you are missing out in Cedar City.
Take care!
