You are now 3 months old! Where does the time go? It seems like you were born only yesterday. You are such a growing boy and are getting more and more of a personality every day.
You are in size 2 diapers now. You have stomach issues and I have cut out all dairy, caffeine, spicy foods, garlic, tomato sauce, and greasy foods. If I eat any one of these things, even by accident, your stomach is messed up all day. You have a ton of poopy diapers still, we have to burp you for a good 30 minutes to an hour, and you get gas trapped in your little tummy. I know that as you get older your tummy issues will improve, but for right now we are being patient with you little one because we know it isn't your fault.
Your favorite new thing this month is your bouncer. You have some hanging animals on it and you LOVE to talk to the raccoon. You will have a conversation with him for a long time. You also love to talk to the baby in the mirror. You have learned to roll to your side, but haven't gone all the way over yet. I know that will come very soon though because you strain your neck like you are wanting to roll over. If you are on your tummy, you will kick your legs like you are trying to get somewhere, will lift your head and look around, and will push on your daddy or my hands. When we are holding you, you will push straight up and try to walk up us, will hold your head up and look around, and drool all over us. You are quite a drooler and you love to blow bubbles too!
Since you are the second, and you have a crazy two year old brother, you have learned to take at least one nap a day in your car seat. You have been to the library, the park, birthday parties, playdates, etc. all while napping in your car seat. You have adjusted pretty well my dear. You also do not get as much time focused on getting you on a routine as Owen did. I don't have as much time to devote to that, and I'm sure you will understand one day. :-). But, you are pretty consistently taking 3-3 1/2 naps a day and are sleeping anywhere from 8-9 hours a time at night, which mommy is greatly appreciating. You are wanting to go to sleep now anywhere from 7:30-8:30pm. We are so glad you are not wanting to stay up until 10ish anymore. Since you have had tummy problems, it has been harder letting you figure out how to fall asleep on your own, but I know you'll get it.
We haven't weighed or measured you this month, but you are definitely growing. You still have the chubbiest cheeks and thighs and are so long. You have outgrown some of your onesies because you are so long. You are starting to get pretty heavy too but are still so much fun to cuddle and hold becasue we know you will only be little for so long.
You are down to 5-6 feedings a day and sometimes still want a feeding in the middle of the night. You are eating about 20-25 minutes at a time.
You love to coo, giggle, and smile and you have the biggest blue eyes that get so huge when the lights change from on to off. You are such a happy baby and will only fuss if you are really tired, hungry, or when your tummy hurts. You will follow us with your eyes or turn when you hear our voices. Owen loves to show you his toys and tries to feed you his snacks sometimes. The other day he tried to feed you a plastic bag. Don't worry...mommy took it out of your mouth and explained to brother that you don't eat bags.
We love you so much "bugs".
