Happiest of three month birthdays, Bear Bear! You continue to be a giant. We've moved into 3-6 month clothes exclusively. Some are even snug. You were a size 2 diaper during the day and a size 3 at night that you pee out of probably every other day. You have great rolls. Your arms are developing rolls in places that I've never seen kids have rolls. Diaper changes always make me laugh when you poop, because there are legitimately 10+ different rolls to clean out.
You continue to be one of the happiest babies on the planet. You make Daddy and I so happy! You smile all.the.time. You love to talk. Most nights we have long conversations before you go to bed. You wait your turn and coo and coo. Then we talk back, and you respond. You have mastered the excited coo, the concerned coo, the tired coo, and the conversational coo. You have so much to say! We are hearing more and more constant sounds within your coos. I swear that when you get really mad to try to say "mama". You are very agreeable, and happily go along with whatever we are doing as a family (the one exception was the strawberry patch).
Speaking of getting mad, during these pictures I bopped you with my foot in the side of your head. I was stepping over you to set up your month blanket, and the top of my foot bopped the side of your head. I've never heard you sound so mad. You cried and I felt so, so bad. You recovered quickly, and haven't held it against me. Thank God, because I felt guilty all day.
You are a great sleeper! Most nights you sleep for 4-6 hours straight--but you've also done 7 hours a few times. That's part of the problem with the night time diapers--that's a long time to sleep. You also LOVE to sleep on your stomach which makes the problem of pee even worse because it all runs out the front while the back of the diaper stays dry. For the first half of the night, you sleep swaddled in the Dock-a-tot. If you're NOT swaddled, then you don't sleep long before waking up. You still have a pretty good startle reflex. You never cry when you wake up in the middle of the night--you just grunt until I pick you up. After nursing in the middle of the night, you try to throw yourself to your stomach. You haven't rolled over yet, and don't seem to want to practice during day light hours. Only in the middle of the night. I help you over so that you don't try to wake up for the day. You still wear the Owlet on your foot, which gives me a great deal of peace of mind as you sleep on your tummy.
You love your sisters. Juliet was one of the first to make you laugh out loud. You always love when Leah drags her hair across your face. Leah and Juliet have become more and more interested in you. Sometimes they beg me to let them help change your diaper. I've just started letting them walk with you under close supervision. To make sure they don't drop you, you grab their hair for added support. You are stingy about your laughs. When you are in the mood, you have a great belly laugh. Sometimes, you are super ticklish. Sometimes you look at me like I am insane when I try to tickle you.
You continue to love to be outside. You take great naps on walks. You love to look around. You love people and do well when out and about.
Like Juliet, when you are tired, you drool. We've started putting bibs on you occasionally. You are also pretty interested in your left hand. You haven't purposely sucked any fingers yet, but you like to try to jam the entire thing. We are hoping you don't start sucking your fingers. You absolutely refuse a Nuk.
We love you so much! I am so, so glad we got you!
