We finally moved bathtime to the utility room. The sink is the perfect size for a Raleigh and the perfect height for a mama!

Wagon
Raleigh rode to school today in our brand new (to us) station wagon! For those who have lost count, this makes car number 5 1/2, but we plan to get rid of the two we don't technically own. That would leave us with a station wagon each, the very impractical Corvette, and the ridiculously impractical 1/2 of a race car. We joked about trading in the Corvette for a minivan, but we've already promised it to Raleigh! :)

Back to Work
Leanne just finished her first week back at work; she started last Thursday. We're figuring out the routine. Raleigh didn't sleep much at daycare the first day, or eat much the second, but now we think he's really enjoying it. Raleigh immediately won the hearts of his caregivers, and they love how much he smiles at them. They said he almost rolled over his first day. (Then Erik asked Raleigh to save his milestones for home to make Leanne's first days back at work easier). Raleigh likes to lay on his side and play, and sometimes he scoots in circles - maybe rolling over will come soon!
We especially enjoyed the weekend with Raleigh - he was extremely "talkative" Sunday. Today, he started making more "babbling"-like noises, instead of just the usual vowel, squeals, and the occasional "mama". :)

Three Months Old
Raleigh turned three months old today. We had a very busy day. Mom, dad and Raleigh visited the daycare Raleigh will attend and met his soon-to-be caregivers. There will be seven girls and one other little boy in the class. The other little boy managed to spit up on Leanne.
Since it's a Tuesday, Raleigh also had his last playdate with his second cousin. Leanne sure will miss passing time at Jen's house. Then, Raleigh went to his first baseball game - Astros vs. Nationals. Houston won 7-6, but it was 2-2 when we left.
Oh, and we almost forgot the most exciting event of the day --- Erik and Leanne got a new baby toter! Unfortunately, it's in Florida and we're, of course, in Houston. We'll figure out how we'll get it here tomorrow.
Raleigh continued to amaze us in his third month. He makes all kinds of sounds, but we love the squeals of delight the most. He is also figuring out how to use his hands - he can bat his toys and put his hands together, and he LOVES sucking on his hands (though it makes us a little nervous...) He can also hold his rattles in his hands ...but he often just hits himself in the head with them.
As far as routine, he had settled into going to bed around 9, waking after 5-6 hours, and then again at 6 or 7am. During the day, he had been eating every 3 hours after a 1 hour nap - it was almost like clockwork. We said "had been" because we think he went through his three month growth spurt recently, so the schedule was a little erratic the past few days - he slept 9 hours straight Sunday night, and then for a 4 1/2 hour stretch (interrupted by two feedings) Monday. Raleigh weighs 14 1/4 pounds.

Baptism
Our precious little angel was baptized two Saturdays ago. Raleigh hardly made a peep during the whole ceremony. In fact, there were about 10 babies being baptized and none of them cried!

Exciting!
Mommy had to beg to get them installed Thursday instead of Friday, so we could have the plumbing hooked up before the weekend... Just in time for company!
