Mom’s getting a little hair do going for Master Arlin. Daddy calls it the baby hawk. I have fun doing it in the morning and it seems to stay for awhile. He really is starting to giggle when people interact with him. It’s a rare occasion that he won’t smile if you’re talking to him. I think he is getting use to the camera- ya think?! Ha.

AhoY MateY!!!
Arlin was having quite the conversation with his pirate! Should of had the video camera on and ready to capture this moment, but hey- can’t complain I got these pictures. This little pirate doll was handmade by our friend Jacquie, gonna have to send these pics. her way so she can see how much A.J. loves his bud.

This is “monkers”(his new nickname lately-don’t ask how) first bath in a sink. I got some shots he’ll probably kill me for when he is older, but Mommy had to do it! I simply couldn’t resist capturing these ever so “portly” shots! hahaha
.
This was little mans first nap on his tummy. He normally never rests his head when he’s on his belly, but his puppy wore him out! He has been mesmerized by this little white puppy from my Dad and Shelly. He pulls it down from his changing table ledge daily to give it slobbery kisses!

First shot is the view from our condo balcony- Avon at Vail.
I must say…I am one lucky Mom. Arlin was fantastic away from home. I was a little apprehensive about the trip, but he slept in his pack and play in the living room, took a bath in the bathroom sink and had fun with us frolicking in the snow at Beaver Creek! He sure did surprise me. Arlin’s Ugg snow suit was too cute! And he fit right in with the other babies looking like a pro.

Arlin loves his new rattle! Shake,shake,shake… until he taps himself in the face with it! Then it’s game over. I picked up the rattle when I went to return the “tummy time surfboard” to Rite Start that my mom got for Arlin at my request…over Christmas. Funny, the things you think babies will absolutely love, they end up liking it NOT so much!
This morning Arlin was an angel, he played quietly in his crib so I could catch up on my morning chores, as I had an early Chiropractic appointment, I threw out my back, took a spill in front of the gym the other day on the ice- major raspberry on me bum! Ouch! But the adjustment seemed to go well as I can get up and down easier.
.
What a big boy! Look at him sitting by himself! Geez…I have to remember he is just three months now, but he is getting so big so fast! I measured him and he is 25 inches long and he weighs in at 16 pounds! These pictures are especially for great grandma Betty. I had tears in my eyes when I put little man in this adorable cable knit jumper-( a present from grandma Betty) She would have loved and have squeezed Arlin so tight! We miss you grandma!
We look like Daddy today. Yesterday it was Mommy…it changes everyday.
I was looking through some of my baby pictures that my mom recently gave me- wow… the similarities are crazy, it’s like looking at pictures of Arlin in the 70′s. If I get time I’ll post a few. Arlin’s into grabbing things lately, he likes his rings. In his hand then in his mouth, he is quite the drool monster these days.
