3 months!

Dear J,
You are 3 months old!! You are such a bright light to our family and we are so thankful for you!


You still make your own schedule every day. You will wake up between 6:30-7:30 in the morning and go to bed between 7-8 each night. You will get at least one nap in the morning, a long nap while E is sleeping, and then maybe a short nap before dinner but usually that one is hit or miss. I have figured out that you will take a good nap in the morning if you are worn in my wrap. I put you in it and within 5 minutes you are out! I love my snuggle time with you and I think you enjoy it too. =). You eat 2 1/2 -3 hours during the day and will wake up most of the time 2 times each night for feedings. At least 3-4 days a week, you think that after the 2nd feeding that its talk time and will start cooing and smiling at me. I try to tell you that its bedtime but you just smile back. It's a good thing you're cute. You'll eventually go back to sleep after about 30-45 minutes on those nights. Your reflux is still bad at night so we still hold you for the majority of the night.

You love to be outside and you love to be held. Although sometimes you will want to have some time by yourself and will get fussy when being held and if I put you down on the floor you will be content for a few a bit. That is completely different from the way your sister was. You LOVE your sister. You give her the biggest smiles and watch and follow her when she is in the room.

You give the cutest biggest smiles. You are quite the charmer. You almost lunge forward when I'm holding you, and you are smiling at someone (especially girls) you little flirt you. You do these really big open smiles that are almost a silent laugh and it is so cute. You "talk" all the time. You want your voice to be heard. You will coo and hum back and forth with your sister and it is so precious. You also have this high pitched scream that you do also with your talking. It is a happy scream and you do it a lot when you are playing on the floor. You always have your hands in your mouth and are starting to put large objects like blankets and stuffed animals in your mouth. You can grab the toys on your play gym really well by yourself. You are not a big fan of the car seat still and pretty much scream the whole time you are in it.

You weigh unofficially about 13 1/2 pounds per our scale. You wear size 1 diapers. You are still a little small for our cloth diapers because of your skinny legs but hoping we can start using them soon. You wear some 0-3 but mostly 3 month size clothes.

You are such a sweet happy boy my little one. We love you so much.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
