Today our little ray of sunshine is three months old! 
 We aren't sure of his weight currently, but on Saturday we measured him and he is 25 inches long- 6 more than when he was born! Maverick is still smiling and cooing, he loves to track his mom and dad with his eyes. This month he discovered that his fist is a great substitute whrn his binkie falls out. He is also very slobery, which I am praying does not mean early teeth. He has been a great sleeper, going beteern six and eight hours at night. He loves to sit up (holding onto your thumbs and you balance him). He thinks he is sooo big, the cute little stink. 
He isn't staring at me quite ad much, which was a little sad, but I sm pretty sure he still likes me ;) I love love love to see him smile. The newborn stage is so sweet, but there is nothing like knowing your baby is happy. I am constantly asking Scott if he thinks the baby likes me, and the smiles seem to be a yes. It is the same with his cooing, and I suspect it will be more of the same when he giggles, and reaches for me, or crawls to me. Selfishly, I hope his first word is "momma", because that would mean he knows who I am. We love our little boy so much, it always reminds me of country songs- like the "and I thought I loved you then" one, and the "you're gonna miss yhid" one. I am working on a playlist right now of songs from thid point in our life, and those are definitely the two theme songs. I love how every new stage he goes through is my new favorite. Do I sound like a glowing mother yet? 
Anyways, here are a ton of recent pictures, a small section of how many I have taken. 

New trick


I love that I caught his new expression of anger, the foot stamp and the foot kick

Working on my depth of field here

What a thoughtful baby

Our little BYU football

Popping my collar

I love this picture! 


I couldn't get enough of these ducky jammies on him! 


That smile- heartbreaker

Easter Sunday




I adooore this one. Couldn't you eat him with a spoon?


I thought I should post a few photos of where we live, since a few people have expressed interest/concern ;). We love our little 'flat', it is about 350 sq feet, but it lives very nicely. It is much more clean and updated then we had expected(/feared). We really like our landlady, but with all of the messy paperwork that is living in a foreign country, it took us longer than I would have liked to get in. We have been in for about 6 (?) weeks now, and it has felt like home ever since the first night we were here. Just having our own place has been amazing, because it has been one year this week, since we had an apartment of our own (so we went about 11 months bumming off family- thanks guys!).
When we first moved in Sunnee's domestic helper, Lea, and her sister Gurlee, offered to come and clean before we put our things in. They are great ladies, and it was a giant blessing. So we moved in to a sparkling apartment, with the help from Sunnee's whole family, and several of the men in our branch here. Initially we mostly had our suitcases full of clothes, a sofa bed, a crib, a clothes dryer, a table, and a glider chair. Although, as I said, it felt like home immediately, slowly filling our apartment with things that made it more convenient to live in has been SO exciting. It really makes you appreciate the little things. I can distinctly remember each of our purchases- a tv stand, a rug, shelves, a wardrobe, towel hooks, a trash can, a dish drying rack, curtains, a ridiculously expensive and hard to find step stool, and most recently- a BED (all of about two weeks now). We are still short a few items ( I look forward to the day I can SIT at our table, instead of looking at it as I sit on the couch and eat off of a tv dinner table). But we have made some major progress. 

Welcome to our home. 
The infamous bed- only took us a month to get one ;)


Our bathroom. Many of you will be surprised to know that the thing between the sink and the shower is our washing machine.


Our kitchen. It is much larger and has infinitely more storage than any other kitchen in our price range. You can even have two people stand semi comfortably in it at a time, therefore I call it a '2 person kitchen'. 

Rest of the kitchen. 



Thanks for dropping by!
And for any of you wanting to come by in real life, we do have a sofa bed that is pretty comfy. We know, we slept on it for a month.
