Three, seriously, THREE, months!

Today is the three month anniversary of Jayden's birth.  Seriously amazing.  Every day I wonder if we're going to make it another day . . . and then we do. 
I tried to take a three month picture, but he was not having it.  So I got these two instead:

 Not terrible, but one day I'd love to get one of him smiling...


Carmen came home for about 42 hours - from late Saturday night until this afternoon.  We took advantage of all being together and went to get our Christmas tree!

A nice lady offered to take our picture for us!

I've put up our Christmas decorations and there's even one present under the tree - for Jayden of course.  :)  We'll wait until Carmen gets home (which will be Wednesday) to put the ornaments on the tree. 
Because of, well, everything (Carmen's travel schedule, having a 3 month old, etc.), Carmen and I may not get our gifts out on time.  We'll do our best, but we're just not making any promises.  However, Jayden's gifts will be in the mail later this week!

An update: we did finally pick a daycare.  It's a mixture of the ones we looked at; an in-home environment (run by a grandma - her grandson is one of the children she takes care of) with a structured preschool curriculum for when he is older.  It still wasn't an easy decision, but that has to do more with the decision of sending him somewhere at all, not with the decision of sending him to this particular place. 

We are having "winter" weather here in Southern California - rain all day.  Of course I found it to be beautiful and was telling Jayden how awesome rain is and how much he should enjoy it.  Somehow I think he's going to grow up a spoiled Southern California boy...
