3 Months

Chase,

Today you are three months old. You are growing so quickly and time is going by way too fast. I am excited about you growing and learning but I have to admit I'd love to keep you this size forever. I love holding you in my arms and cuddling you and I know before long you will be wiggling free to run off and play with your brother. I am trying to slow down a little bit and enjoy every second of every day. You and your brother are teaching me how to do that. Chances are, you'll be the littlest brother in the family and there won't be anymore babies in the house so I want to enjoy every second of cuddle time we can get. The cleaning can wait!

Here are a few things you've been up to.

You are in 3 month clothes but almost ready to move to 3 to 6.

You wear a size two diapers.

When you drink a bottle you drink just over 4 oz.

Sometimes to spit up a lot after a feed sometimes you don't spit up at all. When you have a bad spit up day we don't even bother with burp clothes we pull out towels.

You are "talking" up a storm.

You have very distinctive cries. You have cries for when you want to be fed , when you're hurt, and when you're mad.

Sometimes you scream and cry so loud that all I can think is "Take a breath!!!"

When you start to get sad your bottom lip goes out and quivers.

You blow bubbles.

You are still so loud. You grunt and stretch and make all kinds of noises. Specially through out the night.

You tummy gurgles so loud.

You love your bouncy seat, to kick and play on the floor, and to watch your mobile in the swing or the dancing star on the play mat.

You are eating every three hours.

You are sleeping through the night, most nights. There have been a couple nights you've gotten up for one feed around 3 or 4 am.

You sleep from about 10pm to 7am or 8am.

You wake up extremely happy. You smile laugh and talk to me and brother. You very rarely cry in the morning.

Speaking of brother, you love your brother. You follow him and laugh at him everyday.
You are happy, laid back and oh so cuddly. You only cry when you need something and it's not very often.

You like to be held but you like to sit up and face the action.

When you're held tight to your tummy or when your being nursed you grab hold of Mommy's necklace or shirt. I think that's so sweet.

You sick out your tongue and it makes everyone laugh.

We are working sleeping on your back. You move around so much you tend to wake yourself up. You don't mind laying on your back but you just don't like to sleep on it.

Mommy is really really bad about putting you on your tummy.

You're head is still very misshapen because you always roll your head to the right. It's getting better, slowly.

You are still sleeping in your swing at night,

You follow people with your eyes. Specially mommy, daddy, and Colt.

You have found your hands and you suck on your fist all the time trying to get to your thumb.

We all love you so very much. You are so very special.
Love, Mommy, Daddy and Colton
