Three Months

Toby is now three months old. He didn't have a doctor appointment this month but we know that he is at least 15 lbs. He is rolling over and will occasionally reach for things. He loves to be sitting up or standing up instead of lying down. Craziest of all is that he is already teething. Last week I looked in Toby's mouth and saw something white sticking out of his top gum. I am pretty sure it was a corner of a tooth. Then he started to act fussy and continued all week long. His tooth has not come in yet and you actually can't see the corner of it anymore, but from what I've heard the tooth can try to come down, go back up, and then try again later. Hopefully it comes in soon because I am sick of having a fussy and unpleasant baby around. Because Toby is three months we also took him to get pictures at Target. He did so well and was smiling for almost all of the pictures. They turned out great.

Everybody Has A Laughing Place

A Day at the Zoo

Last Friday we went to the Zoo with Carolyn's family. It was so much fun. I can't believe how much the zoo has changed since I was there last. The animals actually have habitats not cement cages. There were so many cute baby animals - elephants, giraffes, tigers, snow leopards, Siamese crocodiles- it was awesome. Toby didn't get much out of the trip, but he was very well behaved. Zach had a ton of fun taking more than 250 pictures.

Roll Over Beethoven



I can't believe that my little boy can roll over. He first started doing this about a week ago. At first I thought it was a total fluke because it looks like his arm just collapses and he has to fall over. But he has done it multiple times since then. I think that it is funny that his cousin Keyan only rolls from his back to his stomach, while Toby does the opposite. So long tummy time.

Relaxing


Cherry Hill

Last Saturday we went to Cherry Hill with Zach's family to celebrate Karma's birthday. Karma watched Toby for quite a bit of the day so that Zach and I could go down the water slides. There were hardly any people there because most people thought that the place was closed for the season, however this was the last weekend. Because it was the last day open the snack shack was giving way free ice cream, soda, pretzels, and churros. It was an awesome day spent with our family. We took a ton of pictures, but I will only put up my favorites.

Toby's Baby Blessing

On Sunday, Toby had his baby blessing. Most of our friends and family drove to our ward for the occasion. It was a lot of fun to see everybody. During Sacrament meeting Toby was behaving very well. He was sitting with Karma and Emily. However it was getting close to nap time and he was starting to doze off. When the bishop went to announce the blessings (first another baby in the ward and then Toby), Karma handed me Toby. As soon as Toby was moved he started screaming. I tried to calm him down and stood up, then realized that I couldn't take him out because he was going to be blessed in a few minutes. I sat back down and Toby screamed through the blessing of the other baby in our ward. I still feel bad about it. Toby screamed as Zach took him up to the front of the church, but managed to quiet down for the blessing. The blessing was very sweet. When Zach brought Toby back to our bench I took him and he was asleep within thirty seconds. After church was over everyone went over to James and Jackie's house for lunch. We had a great time eating and visiting with everyone.
