Three Months

Happy THREE Months Little Man!

-We don't have a 3-month checkup, so I don't have "official" doctor's office measurements, but Daddy got on the scale and then back on while holding you. By our scale you weigh 11.4 lbs.

- You have found your fists! You love to lick them and suck on them. I hope that doesn’t mean you are going to be a thumb sucker!

-You love to smile! You also “talk” to us. It is the sweetest sound Mommy and Daddy have ever heard!

-You love it when we un-swaddle you, you do the cutest little stretch and smile so big.

-You wear size 1 diapers.

-You still wear some newborn clothes but they are getting too short for you. Soon it will be all 0-3 month clothes.

-You love bright lights. You love to look at the spot lights on the ceiling at church! You have been to church with Mommy and Daddy, but haven’t stayed in the nursery yet.

-Along with the bright lights you love to look at the tv, computer screen, or anything that lights up!

-You love your changing table. We could lay you on your changing table for hours and you would just smile, kick, and play.

-Every day I feel like you learn something new!

-You are still sleeping in your cradle in mommy and daddy's room at night. You are taking your naps during the day in your crib. Mommy isn’t ready for you to sleep in your room at night yet. Maybe soon?

-Mommy loves it that you wake up every morning when Daddy leaves. You snuggle with Mommy in her bed for a little while.

-You are sleeping 7-8 hours a night waking up just once to eat, usually around 3. Mommy loves this time with you when everything is quiet and dark. We get some great cuddle time in!

-Mommy finally found a bottle that you can take. You are doing so great with it! Mommy is going to continue to pump bottles for you during the day, and nurse you at night. You haven't had any formula yet!

-Mommy has to go back to work in a couple of weeks and is dreading it so much!

**We love you so much Collin Blake! I can't believe how fast these first three months have gone. You are the light of our lives and can't imagine anything without you. You are the cutest baby ever!!
