Three Months

Age: 3 months

Height: 25 inches (unofficially)

Weight: 16 pounds (unofficially)

Babies are so little. It is crazy because they learn and grow so fast. Of course like any mom, I love to watch my baby learn new things. However, according to my husband, I am teaching my baby Isaac bad manners. Apparently teaching Isaac to stick his tongue out is considered rude. Oh well.

He is learning others things too though. When I walk into his room at 7:00 AM, I am usually saying something along the lines of good morning, and he turns his heard towards my voice. It makes me feel all tingly inside. He also loves to have conversations. The baby talk lasts forever now. It used to happen every now and then, but if he wants your attention he knows to start with the "a goos" and the "moos." The smiles come regularly now too.

He is an excellent sitter in your lap. He can sit on his own with some support and his newest endeavor is trying to pull himself up into sitting position. This is usually associated with a few toots.

The last biggest development is his control of those crazy spaztastic arms and hands. He has always loved to munch on his hands in attempt to find his thumb and now he can find it almost instantly. However, he prefers his binky. He can also bring his hands together, intertwine his fingers, and then tap his fingers against eachother. My brother referred to it as the evil mad scientist grip.

I am seriously blessed to have such an easy baby. He is now sleeping through the night, which means I am back to decent sleeping habits and that makes for a happy mommy. He is still barfing a bit after taking a bottle. Actually, I think we go through every burp rag and receiving blanket we have in two days. Lots of laundry.

With him getting so big I have been packing away all the newborn sizes and dressing him in three month clothes for a few weeks now. Did I mention I have a fantastic client from work named Heather? I do. She is amazing. She recently passed on to me ten boxes of baby boy clothes. Thanks Heather.

Anyways. We are looking forward to next month. Isaac will have his first plane ride, meet his cousins, and move on to baby food.
