chaos & coffee: March 2016

NINE

Woah. This past month has been a big one for you baby! You have learned so much & you are all over the place now! You are pulling yourself up on anything & everything which has resulted in some bump and bruises but that hasn't slowed you down one bit! Your personality is so big & I love it! I am so over the moon in love with you. The older you get the more excited I am about all the new things you are learning to do. You are so absolutely curious about everything and it is so enjoyable hanging out with you and seeing the wonder in your eyes of this great big world. Baby boy you make life so much fun.

SO. MANY. CHANGES.

You are all over the place. Rolling. Crawling. Pulling up on things, you do not hold still for nothing and changing your diaper & taking photos has become quite the challenge
You have two cute little teeth now! The first tooth was a duzy with some rough nights but we survived.
You are so much more vocal! You love singing and mimicking the sounds that Daddy or I make and get so much joy out of it.
You clap & it's the cutest thing! Anytime we say "yay Abel" you will start clapping.
It's so cute how you find some things soooo funny. You just laugh & laugh & laugh. It's truly the best. ever.
You love love love your daddy. As soon as he gets home you are big smiles and instantly want to spend all the time with him. He's your BFF and it's the greatest.
We have a pretty set schedule and you have been napping really well lately (whoohoo)
We had to lower your crib because you are pulling yourself up ALL THE TIME now. It's your new favorite thing to do.
You love food! You would eat all day long if we let you. We stick to mainly the very appetizing looking baby food jar for you but we have been adding in more fun things like ice cream.. which you love! Definitely my child. :)
We are still nursing about 4-5 times a day. My supply has been all crazy since I started working out and we have been supplementing with formula but this is nothing new & you do pretty well with it.
We started attending a great Church nearby and they have a great kids program. We stuck you in the nursery the first day we attended since it's a larger church and their music is pretty loud. It was a rough start, you cried, I cried and then we both had a great time and survived. This is the first time you have been away from us for that long of a period and I think you are just so excited to be around kids your size! (I really do need to get you out more). Church service is right smack dab in the middle of nap time so sometimes you will stay in the Nursery the entire time and other Sunday's you come hang out with me in the lobby.
You have chunked up pretty well! You have the most adorable chunky thighs!
