3 months old.

already?!?!?  yikes!!!

i really like the way people keep up with what their kiddos are doing at certain milestones so even though it is really boring for most to read, i’m going to do it as well (if for no other reason than at least i have it “written” here once i get evan’s baby book together :) )

at 3 months, evan is:

• exceptionally happy in the mornings.  brian and i love going in to get him because you will always get a huge smile!
• cooing like crazy!  they say you should try to talk to your baby but ours talks so much in the mornings, we can hardly get a word in edge-wise.  usually in the afternoon, you can have a “conversation” with him where you will say something and he will make noises back to you.
• grabbing at things and actually gripping them.
• holding his head up amazingly well- especially considering how big his head is:)  we can do the superman game with him and he keeps his head and legs straight out-impressive!!
• sitting up with just a little bit of help.  then he gets tired and flops over but it is pretty impressive.  he loves the view sitting up too.
• standing and playing in his exersaucer.  he loves playing in it and looking at all of the fun toys.
• sleeping pretty well.  usually he will only wake up once which gives me a good stretch of continuous sleep.  one night, he slept from 930 until 720 and wasn’t fussing when i went in to get him.  last week, he started waking up 3ish times a night but i think that was a growth spurt.  we seem to have gotten over it (knock on wood:))
• eating ALOT!!  i shouldn’t be surprised but this kid can put away some milk!  he eats about every 3 hours during the day.
• wearing anywhere from 6 months(a little snug) to a 12-18 month onesie (which fits!).  we’ll see what happens with all of the cute adidas track suits i bought him for the “winter.”
• sleeping in his room.  we started this about a week and a half ago and he took to it fairly quickly!  i think i’m having the biggest problem with it.  i have to check every night that the monitor is working but i think i’m getting used to it slowly but surely!
• loving his rainforest activity mat and sort of liking his swing.  at least it gives his mummy some time to get a few things done here and there.  he also likes to stare at himself in the mirror of the activity mat.
• chewing on his fist like crazy!  along with that comes drooling like crazy! 
• squirming around like a little worm.  i will put him on his activity mat and turn around to find him facing the opposite direction or scooted almost entirely off the mat.  busy body!!
• wearing a size 3 diaper (i think he’s under the impression the size correlates with how old he is in months :))
• hating his infant seat with a passion!!  we are about to get him the convertible car seat because he screams bloody murder every time we put him in it.  maybe he’s a little squished?!?! i dunno.  i just know it kills me every time i have to put him in it so we’re going to try something different!
• loves to watch football & soccer on tv (i’m sure it’s only those two things :))
• our world!  we can’t believe he is so perfect and we love him sooooo very much!!!

ps…thanks england family for his chelsea uni – i think he looks good in it!! :)
