three months

wow. i'm shocked it's already (past) time to write all about you. where does the time go?  you are getting SO big and SO independent.  it's amazing to see how much you change daily.

you are wearing size 2 diapers these days. i swear they are getting snug though. how is that possible?

you still wear six months clothes pretty comfortably- although we are having to buy new, cooler clothes now that it's already 90 degrees outside some days!

you are just getting over your first little cold. it sure was a yucky couple of weeks at our house.  i think daddy and i may have a little of what you just got over. that's no fun. :(

you have started grabbing for things. you LOVE to play on your play mat and grab for the toys that hang down.  you are also reallllly into your new teething toy bumblebee.  i think your favorite is still to grab my hair or shirt. when you are super sleepy, your grab becomes a bit of a violent one. i have to watch out for that!

you are FINALLY on a decent schedule.  you are eating about every three hours but, when we are lucky, you sleep a full six at night. hallelujah!  your bottles are usually about five ounces- still half and half. you sure do love your bottles!  when you are ready for one, as soon as you hear me shaking it you calm right down. genius.

you are also kind of taking a "passy".  i'll tell you- i'm not really a fan of those things.  they are just SO ugly and form bad habits so quickly. BUT the doctor says it will help you learn to "self soothe" and help your teeth feel better so i suppose we will let you have one.  it sure does make you smile.  i have a feeling i'll cave for anything that makes you smile.  that's dangerous.

you are FULL of smiles lately and, in fact, love to give us a little giggle sometimes.  i've only heard you do it a few times.  they are like little gifts just for me. you are learning to really use your voice these days.  you talk, coo and ah-goo all the time.  it is perfectly precious.  i think your favorite person ever is your daddy. he had to go out of town for a few days and we really missed him.  when he got back you seemed SO much happier.  seeing the two of you makes me melt. 

tonight's goal: three month pictures of you, sweet boy.

love you more each day
