Sleep, Carrots and Football




3 Months ago I really thought I would never sleep another full 8 hrs. in my life. Everyone kept telling me that I would eventually sleep again. They were right, Mack is now sleeping about 11 hrs. a night. It is amazing!



Yum Carrots!! We finally found something our big boy will eat, after he rejected the rice cereal and the green beans. He is still a little unsure what the spoon is all about but we are working on it.

Mack is ready for football season! He will be cheering on the Clemson Tigers and the Ole Miss Rebels this Fall. Lots of infant-fan team wear coming soon!

Spoon Fed

Mack had his first cereal from a spoon last night, he was not a fan. I don't think he swallowed any of it. He has been taking cereal in his bottle for a while now, but the spoon was just not working for him. We are going to give some veggies a try next time.

Here are a few pics from the event...

Fripp Island


We just got back from a week at Fripp Island with The Gilreath clan. It was so fun and relaxing. Mack had lots of fun playing with cousin Charlotte, Papa Trip, Bebe and Aunt Elizabeth.





Here are some pics...


The deer would come right up to the house each day and even eat out of your hand!

3 Month Stats

Mack is a little over 3 months old and we had our doctor's visit today for more shots and a check up. Everything was fine and healthy. The doctor said Mack is the size of an average 7 month old! He is outgrowing all his clothes so fast.

Here are his stats:

weight: 17lbs. (97th percentile)
height: 26 inches (90th percentile)
head: 17 inches (75th percentile)

Right now Mack loves:
-Grabbing on to anything and everything, his clothes, my clothes, my hair, stuffed animals, etc.

-He loves to lay on his play gym and laugh and talk to the animals

-He is starting to watch a little tv and Sponge Bob seems to be his favorite show, taking after his big cousin, Charlotte.

-He loves to laugh at his daddy. Jim can get him smiling and laughing like no other.

He is almost holding his head up and we can start trying some stage 1 foods, which I am sure he will love.

Where has the time gone? Here are some pics of our handsome little man:
