Last Tuesday we celebrated the little guy's three month birthday. Okay, really we did nothing and at the end of the day I panicked and took some pictures to mark the occasion.
Boy he is getting cuter and cuter as anyone who has seen him lately will attest to. :-) Not a ton of changes over the last month except that he is getting HUGE. He weighed in at 14 pounds which puts him at twice as big as he was when he was born.
He is also loving to explore his voice by screaming with delight over and over and over....all with a smile on his face. It is fun to watch. He is genuinely laughing when tickled and tracking his dads all over the room.
He has also started to hold himself up when we put him on his tummy. He can push himself quite high. According to "what to expect the first year" he should be up to a 90 degree angle by the end of this month and he seems to already be there. Pretty amazing. Here is the run down of the third month:
He still loves to spit up - volumes
He still loves to laugh, play, and be sung to.
He LOVES to sit in his bassinet and watch the ceiling fan go - he will squeal at it for enough time for Dad to hop in the shower. Yay!
He will roll over when we put on his tummy over to his back...a lot.
He has started to grab things with his hands and, of course, bring them directly towards his mouth. He started with his bib but has moved to other objects (when placed properly in front of him).
He still LOVES "Hooray for Diffendoofer Day" - which is unfortunate because I now hate it. I am actively looking for new books with bright pictures and rhymes. That is what he likes best. In fact, I just spent $100 on used books from half.com...they should be coming soon. This shows how desperate I am to find a replacement for Diffendoofer Day.
He is still sleeping long hours for the night which is SO awesome. We stopped the swinging action of the swing but he still sleeps in it. For some reason we don't dare put him in the bassinet at night because we are afraid we will not get our sleep. At 11:00 at night that conscience decision is very very hard.
Everyone says how smiley he is - and he is a smiler that is for sure. Although to be honest we only post his smiley pictures for all to see. My ears still ring to prove he can scream with the best of them.
He loves to be a part of the crowd and if adults are having a conversation around him he will lock eyes with you and then scream (usually a happy scream)...it is very funny.
He has started to really enjoy his baths - enough to laugh and smile during them.
His hair is getting so long and so curly!
He has really started to notice the dogs and will stare at them if they come close by.
If he gets a chance to look at the TV he will stare...bad news, huh? So I've been trying to cut down on my TV watching and have instead moved to radio. Kind of a nice change.
We went to California again, and hopefully for the last time unless it is on a vacation or to see friends/family. We set up shop in our apartment and readied it for our post-placement evaluation. We still have our Apartment there so if anyone needs a free place to stay in CA - by all means - USE IT!
Anyway onward to month 4. It is hard to be both anxious to get to know this little guy and be able to talk to him and at the same time wish he could stay this small for ever.
Those tree months have gone so fast and he is getting cuter every day.
