My Sweet Baby Boy is 3 Months Old Already!

How did that happen already?! 

Matthew weighs about 13 pounds now.  He is starting to get a little chubby, which I think is precious!  He LOVES to smile!  And if I put him on my lap, he will just talk and talk and smile at me.  It's so cute!  He is such a happy baby all the time.  The only time he fusses is in the car.  He still is not a huge fan of riding in the car.

Mommy and Matthew

He has almost learned to turn himself over from back to front.  If he could just get his arm out from under himself.  I think it's so cute how he's pulling on the blanket with his other hand!

He loves his nap nanny.  As long as it's facing me, he's happy.  Or lately in the mornings, I've been turning on Mickey Mouse and he likes to face the TV and watch that for a few minutes.

He is wearing mostly 3-6 month clothes now.  He finally grew into his Trumpette socks I got him before he was born.  Adorable! 

He is even wearing some 6 month things now.  I'm about to start feeding him rice cereal and see how that goes.  He's sleeping much better at night now.  He usually will fall asleep in the living room with us around 11pm and then we take him to bed with us and he will usually stay asleep until around 4am, which has been great!  And then he will sometimes wake up around 6 or stay asleep until a little later.

He will bring his hands together and grasp them now, which looks so sweet.  He loves bath time too.  He is drinking the regular enfamil formula now and has been doing great on it.  He drinks almost 4 oz each time now.  He takes only a couple of naps during the day.  Usually one in the morning after he first gets up and eats.  Then, one in the afternoon around 1pm.  Sometimes he will take an evening one too around 7 or 8pm.  So, needless to say, most days I just rotate him between holding him, his nap nanny, and his toy mat.  He's pretty much outgrown his toy mat.  He gets his feet on it and pulls it down almost every time.  Ha!  He does great in his bouncy chair now, so that I can take a shower.  That's the only time I put him in it, that way he stays entertained and gives me a chance to get dressed for the day.

Just for fun, everyone is always asking who he looks like.  Here's Lily at 3 months old.  They really do look a lot alike, but you can definitely see her feminine features and that he definitely looks like a boy.  He is leaner and longer than the girls ever were too.  Look how chubby her little legs were!



I think it won't be long before he learns to sit up.  When I'm holding him, he can already pull himself up almost by doing a little baby crunch.  He's so strong!  He holds his head up great now when you're holding him.  I think I will get him a bumbo chair soon and see if he likes that. 

Happy 3 Months, Mr. Matthew!  We love you SO much!!!
