Easter Sunday marked 3 months since Ellis arrival!
Time is flying and he is changing by the day.
He is laughing and cooing and loves it when we talk to him.
He especially loves to watch Bennett and Tatum playing. He is a people watcher and is very content in a crowd of people where he can look around.
He is starting to notice when everyone is out of sight and he whines a little....like hey come back...I need somebody to talk to.
He is drooling like a champ....could teeth be on the way already...who knows!?
Spitting up is pretty common for him too but the reflux medicine keeps him happy so it does not seem to bother him.
His 3 months clothes are getting small on him. Time to get out the 3-6 month bin.
His legs now both seem to be kicking...whew...at the 2 month mark, one leg was hardly moving while the other was always moving. Glad all seems to be normalizing in that department.
He eats 5 ounces every 3 to 4 hours during the day.
And the 22nd of April marked his first full night sleeping through the night.
8:30 pm until 6 am...
and the 23rd of April he did it again.
I know there is always some ups and downs with sleep progression but lets hope this is here to stay!
Before that he was up once in the night so he was going about 5 to 6 hours in between night feedings. Still pretty good, but 9 hours is even better!
One exciting thing that happened this month was Ellis' first debut on stage. He was cast as Baby Jesus for the Living Stations at church and he did a marvelous job. He was content as could be on stage with his Stage Mom, Mary, and his stage dad, Joseph. And his precious little face and big eyes drew lots of ooohs and ahhhs from the crowd. I'll post more on this a little later, but he even got a little press in the Catholic Spirit Newspaper.

I started back at work this week, so Ellis started going to Grandma Rita's daycare. The first day he hardly napped at all. I think he was loving all the commotion. Wasn't about to miss any of the action with a nap. And day 2 he took a 3 hour nap...all tired out from his new friends at daycare.
It is so fun to see him at the end of a long day and his smiles just melt me when I pick him up. I swear he looked longer when I picked him up from daycare yesterday. In one day, I think he grew!
We had fun celebrating Easter as a family and the hope and joy that the Resurrection brings.
The arrival of Ellis this year brought a whole new reason to celebrate.
He wasn't able to enjoy any of the Easter candy but he got some new shoes and socks in his basket this year:)
Next year buddy...next year.
