3 Months Old

Brendan has made it to 3 months old and his colic seems to get better every week. Instead of being fussy all day, it seems to be concentrated between 6pm and 10pm every night. We'll take it! And the rest of the time he is such a different baby! He smiles, laughs, and makes those adorable baby noises that you just can't get enough of. We had people over last weekend for a Welcome Home Party for him. He was very happy to meet many of his friends and family for the first time. Although he slept a lot, the attention didn't make him too crabby which made for a wonderful day. Thank you to everyone who was able to make it. And to anyone who couldn't, give us a call. We love to show him off--we're pretty proud of the little guy if you couldn't tell. He was able to meet his great-Granny that weekend and also his Great Grandpa Pelhank for the first time. All in all, it was a memory-filled, and exhausting weekend for all of us.

We are also very happy to welcome to the world our first nephew (and Brendan's first cousin) Jaxon Jonathan. He was born on September 4 and weighed in at 7 lbs. 10 oz. We are so excited for Johnny and J'me. We also can't wait to see Jaxon and Brendan grow up together and be huntin' and fishin' buddies with their dads and Grandpa. What a great time they're going to have! Can't wait to get them together. Hopefully we'll have pictures of the little guy on our next post. Until then, enjoy the pictures of Brendan's Welcome Home Party.
