THREE Months Old

David's Three Month Update

• Unsure of his exact height and weight as he did not have a pediatric appointment this month; however, seems as though he weighs around 13ish pounds.
• "Talks" to us often, loves to coo
• He also "nods" excitedly when spoken to
• He's a smiley little baby!
• Only really cries when he's startled or scared
• His "hunger cry" sounds as if he's coughing
• His cry for attention sounds like he's shouting "mem" or sometimes "mom" (obviously unintentionally)
• Stares into my eyes while he nurses
• Still holds his own hands a lot as he did in utero, also places them in his mouth all. the. time.
• Blows spit bubbles
• Most of the time his tongue is sticking out
• Discovered his hands
• Spitting up a lot more
• Caught his first cold :( No fever, just congestion which lasted a few days.  Nasal aspirators and saline sprays are a God-send.
• Enjoys being held (by anyone, frankly) but doesn't mind laying down in his stroller
• Eyes are darkening, although they are still blue.  Similarly, his hair seems to be deepening and often appears red in the sunlight--as mine did when I was his age, apparently
• His lean, long body loosely fits into 6-month sized sleepers but he can still wear 3-month sized bodysuits.  
• Bedtime is around 8:30pm and he will usually sleep until 5:30am.  After breakfast #1, he takes a morning nap for about 2 hours, give or take.  Around 9am he'll have breakfast #2 and we begin our day.  It's a constant cycle of sleeping, diaper changing, feeding, playing and then sleeping again.  Lather, rinse, repeat, hah.
• Since arriving back at home daddy does most all diaper changes which has spoiled me rotten.  
• Lingering cradle cap is an issue--however, I'm not surprised it's still there as I haven't been too aggressive in getting rid of it.  I ordered a bottle of an all-natural, cradle cap baby shampoo and likewise, an all-natural based ointment to try out.  Hopefully it'll be completely gone by next month.
• Hates tummy time but he's able to lift his head and chest and scoot himself forward.
• Can roll over from tummy to back.
• Pushes his legs out and "stands" when I burp him
• Reaches out and grabs rattles that are held in front of him

Kisses for cutie!
