09.09.09 & Baxter at 3 months

Life is good and busy! Jasper is 2.5 years old today!! Baxter is doing great, now 3 months old and developing a fun little personality. He has been sleeping through the night for a few weeks now, sometimes going 11 or 12 hours which is amazing. Then sometimes he still wakes up a few times! Still not consistent but overall doing great.

Here are some photos from the last few weeks...
Touch-a-Truck event in Gainesville where Jasper got to sit on a tractor, school bus, big rig, etc.
Gigi & Baxter
Baxter bathtime - the amount of water displacement is pretty incredible.
Jasper's first day at mother's morning out.
He hated it and completely freaked out before we even left the house. He has never freaked out like that at the church nursery or MOPS, but Darrell talked to him about it for a long time and I think he got really scared about mommy leaving him and things did not go over so well....but long story short, we are on week 3 and I think he actually had fun today.

Below are pictures from Eli's first birthday celebration! Eli & Jasper are big buds!

In comparison, Jasper at 3 months:
Baxter does have a cute smile though I don't get many pics of it. He definitely is not as smiley as Jasper was. Below: here is Baxter at 3 months wearing this 6-9 month outfit that Jasper wore at his 6 month photos! (see pics below-and notice expression with mouth). There is a little collar on the outfit that you can't even see when Baxter wears it. It gets lost in all his chins. Along the same lines, I did see his neck the other day for the first time in a long time...Here are more pictures of Baxter at 3 months, enjoying the jumperoo and exersaucer, too. I haven't weighed him since he was 18 pounds at the beginning of August but I'm wondering if he is too big for this carseat. Weight limit is 22 pounds. I don't think he's there yet but I guess he could be?
Thanks Niki for this cute outfit. I love Mummy & Daddy! Ahhh, thanks Baxter, we love you, too.

What a sweet BIG boy! I can't believe it! Mary Anna is about 13.5 pounds at 5 1/2 months. :) Honestly, looking at Baxter in his carrier, all I could think about is your back...how is it doing?
So glad Jasper is adjusting to MMO, I did that with Caroline and it was such a sweet break for both of us!
Doster started 2 morning preschool yesterday and hugged my neck last night and said "Mommy, thank you so much for giving me preschool." Those little guys melt your heart, huh?

Great pictures; Baxter's face is more round that Jasper's and lighter hair, right? They are both adorable.

Carli is also doing 2 mornings of preschool and loves it. This morning was the 1st time she has cried for me; b/c she had a sub teacher.
