My little Kayson, you are just over 3 months old! You are growing up so fast I can hardly
believe it. You have been such a joy to
have in our family. This month I feel
like you have changed so much. You are
so big and strong. You love sitting up
in the bumbo chair and have even been able to sit up by yourself without the
chair for a few seconds. You want to be
standing up with help all the time, you are one strong little boy with strong
little legs! You love to play with your toys (especially the ones that make fun
noises and have lights). I read to you,
but you don’t have much of an attention span for that most of the time. You love sports! You’ve been to a few basketball games of
Dad’s and you watched the whole thing.
You also love watching football or basketball with Dad. You make so many
fun cooing noises and you are always telling us stories. You have a little laugh but it sounds like a
cough. You get so excited that you kick
your feet and close your eyes and laugh (cough), it’s so cute. You think it’s so funny when you poop or pee
on mom. You still love taking baths so
much! You’re so handsome. Daddy and I
think you are so cute. We still don’t
know for sure what color your eyes are going to be, but we’re thinking hazel.
You are now eating 6 oz. of formula sometimes every 2 hours
during the day. I stopped nursing you
just before I went back to work a couple of weeks ago. I miss nursing you so much sometimes. It was really hard because a lot of times you
were just not satisfied and then it would hurt so bad that I could only nurse
you once a day, usually. I was also so
stressed about pumping when I got back to work so I just decided to give you
formula all the time since you seemed to be doing so well with it. It has been a hard adjustment being back at
work. I cried the few days before I went
back because I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving you. I felt like such a bad mom to leave you with
babysitters. Luckily I have had your
Grandma Julie and Aunt Cozy watch you so I know that you are in good hands. You have loved being babysat! You have so
much fun at their houses. You get
spoiled rotten while you’re there.
You’re always glad to see me when I get home, though. Luckily I only have to leave you for 3 days a
week because I work such long days.
Your dad was able to bless your earlier this month. We didn’t end up doing it in our ward. We did it at the church on a Sunday night and
had our close family and friends come.
We had over 100 people there, all of those people came to show their
love and support for you! It was a
beautiful blessing. There was such a
strong spirit there. Afterword Dad and I
both got up to bare out testimony. Your
uncle BJ played a beautiful musical number on the piano (which you absolutely
loved, you started the piano the whole time). Grandpa Howard, Grandpa Bret,
Great-Grandpa Williams, Great-Grandpa Frampton, Uncle Corey, Uncle Kyler, Uncle
Quade, and Dad were all in the circle to bless you. You were an angle the entire night.
You had your first Christmas! Unfortunately I had to work
this Christmas Eve and Christmas day so we celebrated a couple of days
early. Dad & I gave you an
exersaucer that you sit up in. You loved
it (for a few minutes)! You also got one of the stand-up tables that has the
toys on it, a primary CD, toys, a bunch of books & clothes. You didn’t care
too much about the presents; all you wanted was a bottle. Haha.
You have been such a blessing to us and we are so grateful
to have you as our little boy. It’s been
so fun to watch you grow up (but I miss my little boy at the same time). Your daddy and I love you so much! Never
forget that.
Love,
Mom
