You are three months old! This month more than ever, time moved very quickly... maybe because it was filled with many exciting things and adventures. Your little personality is shining through everyday and we melt every time you share your precious smile! And I have to say... when you smile, you smile with your entire face... and it is just perfect! You have also started sharing lots of belly laughs and those little giggles are our most favorite sound in the world!
A little about you:
We don't know your exact stats, but we did weigh you the other day and you were 15 pounds! Look forward to your 4 month check up to get all the other stats... but we do know you are growing so much these days! You are now in 3-6 months clothes and in size 2 diapers! Momma is loving your new clothes and loves to put you in new outfits everyday!
As for your health, you are growing big and strong! You still have a stuffy noes that comes and goes, but you did awesome on your first flight and vacation and didn't get sick! Momma was worried about that, but you are one healthy boy and we are so thankful and blessed for that. You still only cry when you are either hungry (and momma doesn't have your bottle ready yet) or when you are tired. But we have learned your tired cues and try to put you down for a nap before you get over tired... and it is working out much better.
When it comes to sleep... you are still a great little sleeper. You are still doing really well at night and we are still giving you a "dream feed", (we did try not giving it to you while we were on vacation, but you didn't want to have anything to do with that... and so we listened... and brought it back into your schedule and you are much happier!) And since being back from our trip you have been going to be a little later than normal, 9:30ish, but you are sleeping in to 8ish... and have been fussing once or twice in the middle of the night so we will give you a pat on the tummy and give you your pacifier and you will drift right back to sleep. When it comes to nap time you are still taking two longer naps and two shorter naps and are doing well. This last week when momma when back to work you had a little harder time sleeping longer than an hour, but we know it is a big adjustment and hope you find your new grove and get back to taking better naps during the day.
As for play time you are still super alert and take everything in! It is so fun to watch you see things for the first time! We believe your eyes really came into focus this last month and you love to watch us walk across the room and you love to look out the window in the car! You have discovered your fingers (and love to suck on them) and even found your thumb a few times. You also found your feet and love to curl them up and grab your toes! You are still a super happy morning baby and are very cuddly when you wake up from your naps. You have also discovered you can make a few new sounds and love to talk and coo all the time! Lastly, you started belly laughing this month! The first time I happened to be videoing and caught it on camera! It is the sweetest sound to our ears!
You are still doing really well with tummy time and hold your head up and push your arms up like a mini push-up. You rolled over from your back to tummy the night before momma went back to work and we celebrated like it was 1999, because we believe you knew what you were doing and did it purposefully! Now time to roll over from back to tummy!
As for the many firsts during your 3rd month... first plane ride, first vacation, first time to the beach, first time to meet your great mom-mom and great pop-pop Baker, first time to meet extended family at your first family reunion at the Jones Family Farm, first time to give big belly laughs to momma and daddy, first baby shower to celebrate baby Ellie, first night with nana & poppy, found your thumb, first time to sleep 12 hours, and you also found your feet!!! So many sweet moments filled your 3rd month and we loved every single second!
Benjamin, you have definitely have come into your own this last month and your little personality is shining though everyday! It is such a blessing to watch you learn, grow and take in new sights and sounds. You are one special little boy and we are extremely blessed to be your momma and daddy!
Happy Three Months Benjamin! Love Momma and Daddy!
