3 Months

My baby boy is already 3 months old!  Each month just gets better and better.  Here are some things we noticed about him this month:

• He started to grab toys and rings and hold on to them more.
• He is grabbing stuff then putting it in his mouth (especially his taggy puppy).  He'll grab both sides of its head, open his mouth real big and pull it in.  I sat him up close to Aspen's face one night and he opened his mouth and leaned forward.  I guess he needs to realize there is a difference between his puppy and Aspen!
• Last month he started "talking" but this month he began making more/different sounds alot more frequently. We hear tons of "stories" every night after we get home from work, on our way to daycare and when we are changing him.  
• He started daycare and really seems to enjoy it.  Come to find out, he is the favorite baby in the room!  He is pretty hard to resist.  The girls told me that whenever other staff comes in the room to help out, they always ask to hold or watch him.  :)  Apparently it's his smile they all seem to love.
• He discovered the "magic box" (a.k.a. the t.v.).  Lately we have had the news, Seinfeld (of course) or football on in the background while we play with him.  He'll be playing with us and then his eye will catch the t.v. and be mesmerized.  When we pick him up to turn him around or leave the room, his head turns to the t.v. and he tries to stay focused on it as long as he can.  Now we either change his position or turn the t.v. off.
• He gives kisses or what we assume are kisses.  If you go in for a kiss, he opens his mouth big and wide.  They are wet kisses but we love them anyway!
• He is sleeping over 10 hours at night. This last week we started to feed him from a bottle before he goes to bed so we know he is getting a good 5-6 oz in him.  We put him to bed around 9pm and I have to usually go in at 6:45am and wake him up to feed him and go to daycare.  He falls asleep on his own when we put him in his crib, too.  Some nights he passes right out after we lie him down.   Others he lays there sucking/chewing on his hands and then falls asleep after about 5-10 minutes. 
• He is down to eating 6 times a day.
• He just moved into size 2 diapers.
• He is still wearing 3 month clothes but moving on to 6 month clothes any day now.  Shane and I had to go buy a few more 6 month outfits for him this past week since we noticed a few of his 3 month outfits look alittle snug.  :)

Shane and I are so in love with this little boy!  Here are some more pictures from this past weekend.

He has started to "hold" his bottle when we feed him.

Superman with daddy!

This is him staring at the "magic box"

Playing with his activity gym.  It lights up and plays music.

Just a typical Saturday at our house.

Reading his book during tummy time.

He can hold his head up so well now!

Laughing while we took pictures

Gotta love a naked baby!

I love those blue eyes!

I caught him sucking his thumb

Here is a short video of him "talking" while he was lying under his activity gym.  

As you can see, there is a new look to the blog!  I decided it was a new year so I might give the blog a new look.  If you are viewing this on an iPad or phone, it may not look too fancy though.  It only shows up on a computer screen.
