Newly Newlin: March

So it seems I am a monthly blogger. Oh well. March was a great month! We celebrated with wedding showers, baby showers, milestones, vacations and some fun days at home.?

I got together with some sweet college friends to host a shower for our dear friend, Courtney in Birmingham. She got married this past weekend, so I'll have to blog on it soon. I loved being able to see these precious friends and celebrate one of my closest friends!

The following day, some of my best friends hosting a sip n see for Clarke. It was so thoughtful of them to do this for me because I couldn't have a shower before he was born due to bed rest. A few friends brought their babies and I loved every second of the afternoon! A big thank you ?to all of my precious friends who planned and came to the shower!

A few posed 12 week pictures :)

We made a trip to Aliceville and spent some quality time with Sugar and my parents.

I spent my first night away from Clarke to celebrate Courtney at her bachelorette weekend. Chris kept Clarke at home and they did great. I had a fun time with my girlfriends and Chris sent me lots of pictures like the one below so I would know what was going on at the home-front!

Chris's work held a conference in Destin in the middle of March, so we decided it would be a fun little family vacation. Chris had to work a lot so I asked my mom to go with us. We had a fun time although we didn't even make it out onto the beach with Clarke. This was the extent of his sun exposure :)?

My mom babysat one night and we enjoyed a delicious dinner out at Baytowne! Thank you Nina for going with us and for babysitting!

When we got back, Clarke experienced his first sickness with an eye infection and an awfully snotty nose, but sweet thing accomplished a big milestone. He rolled from back to belly and I caught it on camera! (I did move him away from the bumper after he completed his roll...) A baby being sick is the worst thing, so I am so thankful he is feeling much better now!!

He's absolutely loving his little play toy seen below and is smiling now all the time. He really likes to hold stuff in his hands or either has his hands in his mouth. We've found a paci he likes and he usually falls asleep with it. Clarke is big enough now to be in his swing without his elephant head pillow. He eats 5x a day (nurses when I'm with him) and eats about 5-5 1/2 ounces when he takes a bottle. He is a growing boy and fits into his 3 month clothes well.

We got to see Momo and Popo (Chris's parents) during Easter weekend which was so nice! They kept him one day while I was at work. It was fun to get Clarke an Easter basket although he of course didn't know what it was and went to Aliceville to see my family on Easter Sunday.

I am so thankful for a Risen Savior! I've been singing the hymn "Because He Lives" to Clarke a lot lately and he seems to like it :)?
