3 months (yesterday) !

this small man is changing right before my eyes and its insane to watch. he's holding himself up, looking at me straight in the eyes, smiling, laughing, and farting much louder than you ever thought someone of his stature could. atta boy, p. like father, like son. everyday i am learning to love him more ... and different. what a wild ride.

today i spent some time trying to document some of his new facial expressions and favorite things. the more i have thought about this lately, documenting things like this really is one of my favorite things to do.

SO... if you read this blog (and you actually know me... i know about you blog stalkers out there reading the blog of a friend of a friend of a friend... only because i do it too) let me know if you want me to take some photos of you and yours. id like to start doing this more and what better place to start then with those i love. this would be free, of course.

here are some of my favorites from today, porter's three month shoot.







i think its possible he may already be starting to teethe... he LOVES chewing on my fingers, as well as his own, as well as literally anything he can find to smash into his tiny mouth.









loving and looking very intently upon the spinning toy that attaches to the tray on his bumbo seat... i had so much fun watching him figure this thing out. i held his hand a few times and helped him spin the toy and the very next day he did it himself. smartest kid ever? probably.









just when i thought all baby toys were totally lame and devoid of all aesthetic quality, i found this play mat. i am almost as mesmerized with these little dangling farm animals as he is.





another reason i think he is starting to teethe. the excessive, ever present DROOL.





i dont know why he still looks surprised that im taking pictures of him. it happens almost everyday. come on, p. get used to it. this is going to be happening for the next 18 years.



one final pic to show that i should be mother of the year for trying to make a 3 month old ride a rocking horse for the sake of a cute photo op.

oops.

so there it is, the 3 month post. the ryans are happy and growing...all of us. which is why z and i are about to get SERIOUS about some post pardum dietary changes. skinny jeans, here i come.

um...YES! You don't have to ask me twice about pictures! Yes please, thanks!

I LOVE the mat you have with those animals! I agree a lot of baby stuff can be lame. It sometimes seems like all the options for that kind of stuff is all the same and boring. The one you have is adorable!

Lil P is toooooo cute! And, ya, what's up with these babies lookin like their Daddy's! I played a HUGE role in the kid coming into this world, where's my mini-me?! hehe
