DJ at 3 months






I can't believe its been three months since this wonderful child came into our lives. Everything has changed so much, but in a good way! Every day brings new joy to our lives through him. He is constantly laughing or "talking" I just enjoy every moment hugging and kissing him.
DJ has learned to "kiss" -- it's really him just opening his mouth and trying to lick me when I kiss him on the cheeks.
He also can roll over. When he gets to his stomach he is both surprised and not too happy, but when you roll him back, he just does it again. This means no more leaving him in one spot (although with all his moving, he has been scooting himself around for quite awhile now)
DJ's first few weeks at First Baptist WPB Child Development Center have been wonderful. While it was difficult the first few days (and it is never really easy to leave him), Miss Betty and Miss Lourdes are wonderful. They truly love their children. If he is sleeping in the morning when I drop him off, Miss Betty just cuddles with him while he sleeps. One of his class mates is Lucy. There is only one more baby in there until after the new year, so DJ gets lots of attention. Grandma has also been checking up on him on a regular basis.
They do crafts with them (using their hands and feet to make prints for trees and wreaths), they read to them, sing to them and by the time he is 1 year old he will know a few words of sign language. It really is the best place for him.
