Baby Dean 4 Months Old

Right around month 4 we had a roller!  Way to go Dean!

The little bit of calick he had in the beginning started to get much better as time went on and Dean was a happier little man.  Growing so fast!  

 He discovered his tongue this month and was always sticking it out goo-ing and gaa-ing.

 At his DR. appointment----

 Loving some downtime in his swing.  

 Dean loves the same little lovey that Mason used to love.  Mason still will try and grab it from him sometimes and say it is his!

**Catch Up**Baby Dean 3 Months Old

I can't believe that baby Dean is already a year old and here i am just posting the 3 month pics!  I'm gonna try and play catch up the next few weeks...and hopefully get back to blogging our days around here mainly for this momma so that I can look back on all these great memories with our fam.  So here we begin... 

Such a sweet little one at 3 months old smiling so big!  Who knew i had this little train sweat tucked away from baby 'uncle' Todd?  Sure looks cute on Dean!

Tummy time isn't quite as miserable now!

Right around month 3, Dean took his first plane trip with momma for a fun-filled girls weekend!  He got to meet my besties from Jacksonville Mary Lauren, Natalie, and Liz.  Such a special weekend in Austin, TX for the If-Gathering.  What a great traveler you were and such an angel going with the flow.  They all thought you were the best baby!  I do think you were on your best behavior that weekend. :)  Wake for feedings and go right back to sleep and even went to dinner with us every night and slept in his carseat.  I don't have a pic but Todd and Carrie even came over from Houston to meet you and spend the day with you!  I remember the plane ride home being quite the adventure with lots of delays!!  Eeek!!  I was glad to have you home in your crib that night!

 Fun Memories from this weekend!

 Dean's first Valentine's Day---he was a good little boy at the class parties with me!

Dean Two Months Old

What a doll you were at 2 months old!  In these pictures you are resembling a little more of your momma i think?  Loved to see your sweet little grin come out this month.

We spent lots of time in month two with baby Dean rocking, swinging, and doing our best to calm your sweet cries!  We could try to guess what it might have been...gas, colic, reflux, too little milk, too much milk...or just chalk it up to the fact that you are a baby trying to grow! :)  Langley was a good little helper bringing you your binkie and blankie while momma was trying to cook dinner!

You loved your swing...thank GOD for the swing!  

This is how we managed most days at 4 o'clock!  You know i am desperate when I break out the Moby.  Just putting the thing on makes my head spin.  He definitely liked it more than any of his carriers at this age.  Love his sweet little head sticking out.

 Mason adores baby dean so much.  He loves to serenade him at lunch time with "i love you Dean" songs.  And talks often to him about how he needs to be his "favorite".

 Since the baby we definitely aren't getting out of the house as much.  Mason is just as happy staying home and chilling while Langley is at school.  What a great big brother!  It may be awhile before we get back to the zoo or forest...

 Langley loves to hold him!   Greg is forever saying, "gentle" "don't touch his face" "careful" :)

 Our little snow baby is ready for the Nebraska wind...

did i catch a yawn?

 Brotherly love...a calm moment with mason!

 The weather warmed up so that we could go for his first stroll outside.

 tummy time is going...but most of it is spend flat on his face!  

 now this is all daddy though...

 And Langley did mommy's hair!  This is our crazy life! :)

We love you Dean and all the fun you bring to our fam!!!

Baby Dean Growing too fast!! 1---2---3---4--5 already!

I can't believe we are already into month FIVE with sweet baby Dean!  Time sure does fly when you have a busy house with a new baby.  Its all just a blurrr some days!!  The days are long, but the years are short...so I am embracing it for all that I can.  :)

At one month, Dean, you were a sleepy little fellow.  We think you resembled more your daddy when you were born.  He didn't have the dark brown hair that his bro/sis both had.  And boy were we glad to have Grandma's and Grandpa's with us because we couldn't always figure out what your cries were for and you just loved to be held and rocked.  You were spoiled!  You had your first Halloween.

You had your first bottle at about 2 weeks. You did great!  Mommy and Daddy had their first date night.  That might be our last date for awhile since G&G were leaving soon.

 Langley loves holding him.

 Mason reading books to his favorite new baby brother.

 We liked to say you resembled an old man when you were born.  :)

 Love these sweet--ums of mine...

Dean wearing the gown Mason wore home from the hospital. 

 Your first sponge bath...Dean did not like this so much.

 But were such a cutie afterward all bundled up in your towel so clean.

He has a long torso just like his daddy.

It was a sweet month of lots of delicious newborn-ness with our new little man.
