Our Bundle of Blessings: 3 months

Logan,

You are 3 months old! This has been a sad month for Mommy since she had to go back to work. It has been fun for you though because you have been able to hang out more with Daddy, Grandma, Papa, Gigi, Aunt MarMar and Uncle Mark while Mommy has been at work. I will be so glad when I get to have you all to myself again over spring break. It's just a couple days away!

What have you been up to this month? You just get cuter and sweeter by the day. It doesn't seem possible, but somehow you do it!

You are about 15 1/2 pounds (we weighed you on Grandma and Papa's scale, so it's not official from the doctor) and around 27 inches long (we measured you with Daddy's tape measure - ha!). You are getting bigger every day!

You still really love your baby gym. Your favorite is to kick the toucan, but you are getting pretty good at hitting the elephant too. You also really like to talk to the butterflies and the lights.

When we lay you on your back, you will kick with your feet and push yourself across the mat of your baby gym. You smile and think it is funny when we pull you back so you don't scoot off the mat.

We also thought you were going to roll over from your back to your tummy the other night. When you are excited when you play you sometimes roll back and forth, but you don't quite roll enough to make it over. You were very close the other night, but still need a little more practice.

You are sitting in your Bumbo seat now, and do really well. It is pretty boring though, so after a while you let us know that you've had enough.

You love to blow bubbles with your mouth, and are constantly drooling. Mommy has to keep you in bibs all the time now or at least keep a rag handy. It is probably the start of teething, but Mommy is hoping they don't come in for a long time.

When we went to your 2 month appointment, the doctor said that you would begin doing little "sit ups" this month, and she was right! It seemed like the next day you started doing them and any time we lay you in our lap you are doing your little sit ups. You don't like to lay flat very much anymore. You will hold our fingers and work hard to pull yourself up to a sitting position. You definitely prefer to be up where you can see everything that is going on.

You do really well when it's tummy time. You hold your head way up and if you're in a good mood you'll play on your tummy for a pretty good while before getting upset.

You have REALLY found your voice this month. You have realized you can scream and like to do it now just to hear yourself. You aren't upset, but like to talk to your toys, or anyone who will listen, as loudly as you can. It cracks me up once I realize that you're just talking and not upset! Ha! I don't have a video of your shrieking/screaming, but I do have one of you talking (but I can't upload it - sorry!). You are too cute!

You have started waking up in a very good mood! This is after your 1st feeding of the morning though. When you wake up in the 6-7am range you are more concerned about breakfast, and then usually go back to sleep. After you wake up the next time you are usually talking and smiling in your crib. I love going to get you and seeing you flash your sweet smile at me. It makes mornings so much easier! However, I miss this during the week now that I am working.

You are very aware of, and LOVE your hands. You are constantly doing something with them and they spend a LOT of time in your mouth. You will grab things with them (like Mommy's hair!) and hold on tight. Mommy is trying to teach you to hold toys so you can put those in your mouth instead. If Mommy puts them in your hand you do a pretty good job of holding on to them and moving them around or putting them in your mouth.

You are also becoming more aware of your feet. Mommy is teaching you to hold them. You don't grab them yourself, but if someone puts them in your hands you hold on. Just yesterday it looked like you were trying to grab one of the toys from your gym with your feet. It won't be long before those are in your mouth too. Ha!
