3 Months

Hello All,


Another month has flown by and our little guy is three months old already!  He is showing his beautiful toothless grin more and more everyday as well as reaching for things close to his face.  His grasp is strong and he will hang on tight...hopefully not with a hand full of hair :)

Per the bathroom scale he is up to 11.2 lbs.  We will see how accurate that is at his next check-up at 4 months old.  He is enjoying our walks around the neighborhood in his stroller and no longer sleeps the whole time.  In fact he usually stays awake for nearly the entire walk which at times can be about 2 hrs long on nice days.

Since he doesn't sleep very much during the day anymore, he has continued to sleep through the night from about 10:30pm until 7am.  There has been a few occasions when he will make sure he isn't the only one awake at 4am but thank goodness that doesn't happen often.

Coming up we are looking forward to my Uncle Jim and Aunt Laurie Hughes and family from Iowa and Aunt Helen Nodland from Chicago who will all be arriving this Saturday.  Walter will have lots of attention!! Then in April we will take him on his first plane ride to Florida to meet Great Grandma Alta Nodland, and Uncle Joe Schrader for the first time and see Gma Julie and Gpa David again.  We will play in the sand and feel the warm Gulf water on our toes...probably a little early to get him in beyond his feet :)

Thanks for reading and more to come next month!  Enjoy the pictures :)
