Three Months Old

I don't know where the time has gone!  All of a sudden, this big boy is three months old.  He is sweet and snuggly and loves to be held.  He now weighs 15 pounds and measures 26 inches long.  He is so handsome.    

He's not only big, but strong too.  Look at this head control!  When he's on his play mat he tries so hard to roll from back to front.  He has long since mastered rolling from front to back. 

Such a happy little face!  I love our nighttime routine of taking a bath, putting on jammies, reading stories in my bed and then snuggling together.

The last part of our routine is tucking in Tessa.  We all go to her bedroom, I lay Jackson in her arms and we say our nighttime prayers together.  This is usually my favorite part of the day.  Seeing my two children cuddled together and listening to Tessa pray to God brings tears to my eyes.  Although sometimes we are late getting to Tessa to bed and Jackson is doing his loudest hungry cry.  Then I don't hear much of her prayers.  But most nights, it's a sweet time I treasure.       

We then all take turns kissing Tessa good night.  There is an order to this process, Brother, Momma, Anabelle and then Daddy is last.  We have pared down the nighttime routine because it was getting a little out of hand.  It used to include kissing stuffed animals, applying Band-aids, checking under the bed, closing doors, taking fake medicine called "water medicine" and so on.  Tessa is not actually sleeping in this picture but since I was taking photos this night, she pretended she was sleeping.  In reality, she sleeps with the covers all the way over her head and every stuffed animal she owns, plus a few books, stuffed under the blankets with her.
