Small Dude at Three Months

Our Small Dude has already reached three months of age. Truly, the time is whizzing by so quickly, I'm afraid the years are going to pass before I've realized it. Since the beginning of 2013, this year has sure been...what? It's a new year?! Sheesh.

Small Dude still does plenty of sleeping, eating, and all the requisite things that go along with digestion, but he's also starting to really watch us, hold his head up, and generally insist on seeing what's going on. Here he is from a few months ago:

Because dreaming of a Packer win is always a good dream. Hey, it's a new year!

Now you can see how alert he's getting, despite our horrific cold stretch (you know when you can count on one hand in the last thirty the number of days that have gone above zero degrees Fahrenheit, it's been a long cold stretch, even for Minnesota), his perennial hat-wearing, and his imprisonment in various small-child seats. And what a little sweetheart he can be! Even when he insists on sleeping during daylight and cooing wide-awake at 3 a.m. 

Mesmerized by the mobile...

Okay, Ma, just pick me up already!

Unwrapping all those gifts really takes it out of ya.

Able to snag a smile, if a blurry one!

Ahh... sleeping.
