Happy 3 Months

My goodness where did those legs come from?
You hold up your head now but every once in a while it gets a little heavy for you.


It doesn't seem like it has been a month since I wrote your 2 month update and just in 4 short weeks you have accomplished so much more!
Let's see...
You have found your hands and you pretty much try to keep them stuffed in your mouth as much as possible. It started out with just a finger or two but now you have moved on to trying to get both hands in there at the same time. You love to suck on them (as loud as you can to).
You have started to drool...you pretty much soak your shirts now and you would think I would learn to put a bib on you but we just haven't gotten there yet.
You tried your hardest to roll over a few weeks ago...you still aren't there yet either but it's probably because you aren't ever on the floor much to practice. Maybe now that we brought out your pack and play today and surrounded you with all your toys you will get the rolling over thing down.
You have now realized you have a mouth and you like to try to put stuff in there...especially your blankets. Every time we cover you up your hands go right to it and you take the blanket to your mouth!
Now that we know you like checking yourself out in the mirror we put you in front of it when you are crying and this always makes you stop and brings a smile to your face. We wonder what you are thinking when you see yourself.
It's funny how you immediately stop crying when you check yourself out.
You talk all the time now but you are still so quite with it...sometimes I wonder if you are going to be shy...surely not!
You still love to be held but that's okay because me and your daddy still love holding you! We both know that it won't be too much longer before you don't want to be held anymore so we are enjoying it for now!
We think you have finally noticed Buster and Boone...you will kind of look at them and you have of course heard their barks. It used to never wake you up when they barked but you aren't such a deep sleeper anymore!
You play with your toys now...okay play might be a stretch but we can stick rattles in your hand and you do move them around. Sometimes we can really over stimulate you by shaking all your rattles and then you are over it!
I'm waiting for you to drop your night time feedings but that hasn't happened yet...you are a hungry boy every night at 3:30 on the dot!
You are so easy to get to smile now and your smile is nothing but pure sweetness! Your face (and ours) lights up when you smile.
I have saved the best for last...you said your first word today. Ha! We always practice your oh's and ah's with you and sometimes throw in an ooh and you repeat them back to us every time. Well today I decided to say uh oh to you and you said it right back to me...as clear as possible. You just kept saying uh oh over and over and over. I even called your daddy and he heard you too! Technically I know this isn't your first word but in my book it counts!

We love you big guy and are so glad God chose us to be your parents!
