3 Months! (13 weeks)

 3 Months!!

Cannon has been doing really well with the transition of using bottles while I'm at work. He so darling when he eats, dramatic even. He drapes his arm across his face and covers his eyes as if to say "oh what a rough day! I'm enjoying my dinner so nobody bother me." Even cuter still, he makes funny grunts and noises while eating.

On a sad note, Cannon's hair has continued lightening and is now falling out. :( There is still a large amount of hair down on his neckline and a long "island" on the top. We try to disguise that it's falling out by still putting a curl in that long patch.

C still loves his little puppy dog. When he's cranky or bored the puppy is always a lifesaver. He smiles so big when he sees it! He loves on it and snuggles it...but mostly he chews on it. Ha ha!
 


Anthony is continuing to encourage Cannon to "find his thumb." They are working on bending the other fingers so that he will stop poking himself in the eye when he finally gets his thumb in his mouth. He is constantly sucking his hands and slobbering. Still no teeth though. 

 This is our lil' man's way of telling us he wants to be picked up. He has quickly learned that this little pout is like kryptonite to Mommy and will get him pretty much anything he wants. How could anyone say no to this face? 

Cannon is now sleeping in his crib in his own room. It was a hard transition for me, but Anthony was more than happy to finally get back more than 6" of space on his side of the bed. Ha ha! Somehow this wiggly boy has figured out to finagle his way around and ended up turning sideways in his bed, with his feet in the slats of the crib and his blanket around his head. Kids..don't try this at home.

12 Weeks

 Week #12
 Cannon has been drooling quite a bit the last couple weeks. It looks like he might be getting a bottom tooth coming in soon. It still might have a ways to go though. He doesn't really like to chew a pacifier expect right before going to sleep. But he LOVES to chew on his hands and on some new teething toys he has. He is also beginning to learn how to hold his toys so he can chew on them all by himself. :)

On Monday the 2nd, my friend Macie started babysitting Cannon during the day while I'm at work and Anthony is at school and work. He also got to go to my friend Christina's house on Friday. Macie has a 17 month-old daughter and Christina has 4 kiddos. Cannon is enjoying his days with all the other playmates and entertainment. We are really blessed to have such good friends who can help us until Anthony is out of school in a couple more weeks.

Anthony is really looking forward to having a break from school for a while. He will be off for the campus 7-week break and then work part-time and take just a few online classes in the fall since that is his off-track. The plan right now is for him to be a stay-at-home Daddy until he start full-time school again in January. 


Here is our handsome boy in some of his new ties. We think he looks pretty dashing. :)

Doesn't like his monkey mirror
video- almost started laughing




This week Cannon also experienced his first 4th of July. He had quite the wardrobe to celebrate. We went to the Rexburg Parade with my cousin Emalee and her family (hooray for tradition). We then went to Idaho Falls to watch the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration Fireworks. In all the years Anthony and I have lived here we've never gone to Idaho Falls to see the fireworks. It was a fun night. Cannon loved looking at the fireworks but fell asleep during the finale.
