3 months

3 months!

I am doing much better this month at getting this out relatively close to on time. Everett turned 3 months on the 28th.

At 3 months, Everett...

-Babbles much more frequently and gurgles some. He also has started going 'ayayayayay' when he is semi-crying which I think is so funny.

-Celebrated his first Christmas!

-Smiles big gummy smiles all the time. He's getting so close to giggling too. I. Love. This.

-Eats 5-6 ounces 5 times a day. Typically 6 ounces in the morning around 7, then 5 ounces at 11:00 or 11:30, 2:30, 5:30 and 8:30. Still a combo of breast milk and formula.

-Is such a great sleeper. He typically sleeps from after his 8:30 pm bottle to 7 am or so. He's in a really predictable routine right now. He takes a long nap in the morning but usually he wakes up, is awake for around an hour and a half, and then starts to get sleepy and naps for about an hour and a half.

-Still loves being held but tolerates more and more alone time. He will play alone for short periods of time during the first hour he's awake. The last half hour before nap time, not so much. He likes to play in his swing, laying under his mobile, and in his jumperoo even though he's way too small for it. Still no luck on getting him to transition from his little rocker bed to a crib.

-No idea about length and weight. I do know he has thunder thighs. :)

-Three months was not the magic ticket to no reflux for us but it's definitely much improved.

-Has mastered getting his thumb in his mouth and it definitely soothes him. The only problem now is that he sometimes gags himself with it.

-Tolerates a couple minutes of tummy time before crying ensues. He rolled over this week!!

-Still sticks his tongue out most of the day.

-His favorite activity is standing up in your lap and bouncing up and down. Preferably right on your bladder.

Enjoy some pics! We are absolutely loving this age!
