Jace at 4 months

This little guy just turned 4 months, and jeez, what a lover. Pretty sure he knows what a kiss is because everything we come towards his face to smooch him he opens his mouth up really big for a kiss. That or he’s trying to suck on our faces, haha. He’s a big sucker! But he refuses to take his binkie. He’ll suck on anything he can get his hands on BUT that. He’s rolling over now, and starting to grasp things more. He’s really good at pulling on my hair and not letting go {ouch!}. Tummy time is still a little rough but he’s getting better at balancing in his bumbo and on our laps and while we holds his arms for him to stand. He’s drawn to all kinds of weird noises. I feel like we’re making crazy noises all day long, just to keep him entertained. Right now he likes monkey sounds, lips smacking like you’re eating with your mouth open and hearty laughter, which usually gets him giggling. Baths and swings in the carseat are his favorite. I must tell you, it’s hard not to shower him with kisses every time I’m around him. I basically make out with his face, ha. We are having the absolute best time with Jace right now. We’re so in love.

To breakfast in a hoodie

We love going out to breakfast on the weekends and adding a couple layers of clothing on so we can sit on the patio.  Jace is starting to fit into his little hoodies now, and I’m so excited. Hoodies in any shape or form on babies is the cutest. This is one thing I’ve been looking forward to since he was born. Hoodies! I hope we always live somewhere where Jace can wear hoodies all year long if he wants to. Oh, the little things, right?

The baby sleep swing

Lately little Jace has been fighting the mid-day nap. He likes to stay awake for as long as he can. When it gets to nap time, he usually starts smiling and talking {more like babbling}. He doesn’t like the swaddle in the middle of the day. He doesn’t like the rocking chair. So, we created a swing out of a cozy couch blanket and swung him until he got sleepy enough to cuddle. Once he gets comfy, he usually likes one of us to breathe on his face. Which I weirdly love to do, hahahaha. Oh, well. At least we’re weird together. And it worked, because he went down for a nap! Success!

{Perfect picture of our smiley, not wanting to nap baby boy}
{I love his little body form at the bottom, hahaha}
{Where’s Jace?!}
{OK, so maybe I wanted to take a nap, too ;)}

Father & son selfies

When my first day back to work came around, we had a two week window before Jace could start at his daycare, so Rob took two more weeks of paternity to stay home with the little guy. I was sad to leave them every day, but I felt better knowing they were having a blast together. Every day I would get a Rob & Jace selfie. Or, I would just get a Jace selfie. Every time my phone would light up at work my heart skipped a million beats to see what kind of picture was waiting for me. I get these kind of pictures now from my daycare lady, but these below will remain in my heart forever — Jace in his Nike onesies, sleep tents, big smiles, sleepy cheeks. I could just eat both of their faces.

Jace at 3 months

I’ve been waiting for this smile since he was born. Oh, how I live for his smiles. It’s all I can think about when I’m at work . . . coming home and saying hello to him and him smiling at me. It’s the best feeling in the world. And tonight I was kissing his armpits {I basically kiss every part of his body right now} and he started giggling! For reals! So far he is a super happy boy — as long as he’s eating on time and changing scenery. He started sleeping 8+ hrs a night this past week and is very active during the day. I’m going to give props to this book for that. I think we finally got a sleep schedule down. He loves his soft blankets, baths and outings with Mom & Dad. He’s mastered tummy time and is anxious to hold his own sitting up or in his bouncer. He loves all kinds of noises. I’ve never made so many weird noises in my life. Nor have I ever baby talked so much in my life, ha. Well, we love watching him develop new tricks and actions each day. Jace face, we love you more every day.
