Our baby boy is around 13 pounds. He wasn't cooperating for us during his photo shoot. We couldn't get a good picture of him stretched out. He is bigger, the proof is in his clothes. I packed away all the 3 month stuff. Braylen is currently wearing 3-6 month and 6 month clothes.
We all know Braylen will be bigger than his sister. When will it happen? My guess is 10 months. I mean, look at them together... Braylen is gaining on his 21 pound sister... fast.

| I am so bad at the "he/she looks like" game. I guess they look like siblings? Weigh in! |
I was very impressed with Kinder Mender. Clean, friendly staff, SHORT wait (like 1 minute), and very kid friendly. No fever, ears clean, but the NP was concerned about his cough. She tested him for RSV. Negative. So we left with the same instructions we already knew- humidifier and saline.
In Braylen's short life he has already had 2 colds- one when he was first born and this one. His worst enemy is his mother!
I will fully admit that I do not give Braylen enough tummy time. If he has a flat spot or doesn't roll until 6 months, it is totally my fault. However, I'll make it look like I do everything those darn parenting books tell you to do-

| Tummy time AND books. Wow, sign me up for Mom of the Year |

| Who knows the book? The bright colors kept his interest just long enough for me to get some pictures of him. |
What else? Oh! Braylen is taking bottles again!!! We stopped completely for a few weeks and started up again on Sunday with a fast flow, brown Playtex nipple with the drop-in liners. I think these are a huge waste of money, however, both of my children seem to love them. Braylen has been taking a bottle no problem since the change. Go figure. The air is much thinner in the Hollencamp house these days.
Sleep? Please!!! Braylen, you are 3 months old now. It is time to start sleeping better at night. Your mama cannot function too much longer on 4-5 hours of sleep a night and getting up 2-4 times a night with you. Decide if you want your arms in or out and sleep 4+ hours already!
I am gaining more confidence in my abilities to take both kiddos out. For Braylen's 2 month birthday, I went to Target and Safeway for the first time with both kids. Today, I went to the mall for the story time. I swear, every time I take him out it is windy. When did Maryland become such a windy state? I hope to become more adventurous now that he is more comfortable in the Ergo and I have pulled out my big girl panties.

Good seeing you today. He is a cutie! And Goodnight Gorilla is one of our favorites!
Braylen is looking great and his BIG sister looks like she is in contol. Children are such a blessing.
Love you all Pops and Paula.
B is DEFINITELY getting bigger! Ella still outweighs Kate by one pound, and she's held on to that slim lead for over a year now. But it's only a matter of time before our younger children pass the elders! :)
