Maverick is 3 months old!

I once saw the first three months of an infant's life referred to as "The 4th Trimester". The book went on to explain that if a woman's body could accomodate it, a baby would spend another 3 months in the womb. The immaturity of the infant during these months explain why it is often a very tough time for the parents!

Luckily, this has not been the case with Little Maverick! He has been such a joy these last 3 months! He is a happy boy, full of smiles :)

I decided at the monthly posts to go back through my pictures from the month and post any good ones that I hadn't already posted. I guess I took a few of Maverick this month!

Look how much he's starting to fill out the little chair :)

Feel free to compare to Mitchell's 3 month chair pic. What a chub!

This month started out kind of rough with our hospital stay for brochiolitis. But the little man recovered quickly and hasn't been sick since....knock on wood.

He LOVES his baths! It's one of my favorite times too because his little tub positions him to look right up and me and I get the best smiles from him :) I usually try to bathe him while Mitchell is napping so that Maverick and I can take our time!

Maverick had lots of Grandpa time this month. First with Grandpa Michel (my dad).


...and next with Grandpa Folks (Jacob's Dad) who came for a short visit from Maine! We'll see lots more of them this summer!

He spent lots of time lazily napping outside in his carseat while Mitchell tried out many of the local parks. He seems to like the fresh air!

His blue eyes continue to stay really dark blue...irresistible to photograph :)

Gotta love funny baby expressions!

He sure is a smiley man...but you can't see his dimple that I am obsessed with in his left cheek (just like my Dad!)

I LOVE gummy baby smiles!

Maverick is very entertained by his big brother. Often smiling at him, even if Mitchell doesn't always return the smile :)

Some of you might think this below picture is gross....but it captures our little spit-up man to the "t". He could compete with any tobacco chewing cowboy!

He has definitely found his hands this month. They spend LOTS of time in his mouth...and I think we discovered why yesterday when we noticed TWO TEETH on his bottom gums! Holy cow, we weren't expecting those yet!

We are having a ball watching him grow and change...and can't wait to see his little personality continue to emerge the next few months!
