3 Months Old!

Where have the last three months gone??? In just the last month I've seen my sweet little infant gradually turn into a full fledged BABY! It's so bittersweet to watch them grow because I know I'll never have this time back again, but my desire is to see them grow strong and independent.

He's certainly growing, isn't he?! Alright, baby boy, here's what you're up to this month!

- We've moved you out of the newborn cloth diapers and into just the smalls. Since we've been traveling, I threw in some of the one size diapers your sister used and they fit you pretty well, too. (I admit it, I had your dad mail us your cloth diapers because we were having way, way too many issues with disposables...and I was tired of spending money on them.)

- You're in 3-6 month clothes as of about a week ago.

- You're nursing about every 3-3 1/2 hours during the day. Most nights you eat around 7:00, go to bed, eat again at 10ish and then sleep until 7 the next morning (unless you're going through a growth spurt--like right now). Such a huge blessing!

- You are on a great daily schedule. You nap every morning for an hour and a half, usually take a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon with Logan and a quick evening nap around 5 before going to bed at 7.

- You have great head control and are able to look from thing to thing now without bobbing your head too much.

- You can almost roll from your back to your stomach. You're a little more than halfway there. Though, you seem to have no desire to go the other way. You've started enjoying tummy time a little too much this month!

- You are the BIGGEST snuggler! After your sister, I thought surely the rest of my kids wouldn't want to snuggle since she's been so snuggly, but you rival her. It's great that you have your sister because I frequently catch the two of you just snuggled up together while she watches TV or right before you guys go down for naps. It's very sweet--I'm sure you won't always get along this well!

- You do break your schedule some nights and wake about an hour after you go to bed. I call this your "mommy time." It's like you know you don't get my full attention during the day so you've created a time when you get it. It's sweet, and I love one on one time with you. I know you won't always be this little so I'm treasuring it.

- You are extremely laid back and easy. You cry when you need something, or when you're stuck in the car seat, but otherwise you just hang out and observe life. Last night we went to a party and I was worried because I knew you'd be passed around a bit, but you were a great sport and just contentedly charmed everyone who held you.

- You weigh 15lbs even. I'm not sure how long you are but you seem very tall to most people who meet you. Your weight is definitely offset by your height so you don't look chubby, just like you'll be a tall little man.

You have been such a wonderful addition to our family. We are overjoyed that God chose us to have you and can't wait to see you grow more and more.

Here are your last three months:
