Steve Shultz here. I am a YourHub.com staff journalist based in Douglas County. I used to write a lot of news stories for the weekly print editions for Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and Parker, but now I'm mainly focused on the layout and design of said newspapers. In between putting your great stories, blogs, photos and events into the print editions, I will blog about some of the stand-out submissions I see on the Douglas County Web sites –- Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Roxborough and Franktown –- and any other topic that piques my interest. If you’re new to YourHub.com, I encourage you to sign up and start your own blog. If you have any story ideas in your community you’d like to share, send me an e-mail. And drop me a comment in the comment box –- bloggers feed off feedback.

3 months/My first Father's Day


I can't believe my son is 3 months old already.

He is growing so fast. I'm not sure of his exact weight since we don't take him in for a checkup again until next month, but he certainly is chubbing up.

I believe he has accomplished a lot during this last month: he has rolled over several more times; he rolled over from his back to his stomach for the first time; he can hold things now; he transferred a toy from one hand to the other; he puts things in his mouth; and he is becoming more and more vocal every day.

He sucks his thumb like crazy. He does this adorable thing where he sucks his left thumb and holds his right ear with his right hand when he's on the verge of sleep.

He still is sleeping soundly through the night. In fact, last night (June 20) he went to sleep at about 6 p.m. and slept straight through the early morning. I guess all the growth spurts are making him extra sleepy.

It was fun celebrating my first Father's Day. We spent the afternoon at my parents' house, and my grandpa, sister, brother-in-law and niece all were there. My dad (and mom, too) had a wonderful time holding and playing with Prahlad and Gianna.

Melinda and I bought this handprint kit for my dad. Melinda smoothed out the clay and we pressed Prahlad's little hands in there and wrote his name in it. The other half of the frame holds a picture. My dad loved it. And he got a great gift from Carrie and Tom, too: a custom mouse pad of photos of Gianna.

Warm and caring and open. Very nice!

Just darling! My son loves his left thumb too.

Yeah, the "solid food" photos should be great.

Definitely fewer "angry" photos than from your "First Time for Everything" entry. I love "fell asleep in the high chair" shots. I still get "fell asleep in a hotel restaurant" shots while on vacation. Also, when Prahlad starts solid food, I expect a "spaghetti face" photo.

I'm not sure why I always forget to rate it until after??? Oh well, I loved it!

Thank you so much for sharing this experience with all of us!

Steve! These are such great photos! You and Melinda gave your father a wonderful gift, too, by the sound of it.

Look at those baby blue eyes! Happy Father's Day, Steve! Just think, by next father's day he'll be walking!

Those thumb-sucking photos are precious.

He's too young to be surly!
