A Quarter of a Year

3 Months Old!
July 2, 2011




I just had to post this one because the bear looks so freaky. It's as if he's saying, "Luke, you're my friend," in a scary voice.

Milestones this month:
  • Belly laughs
  • Coos at us
  • Sucks on his fingers- usually the pointer and middle finger together
  • Sings a sleepy 'song' when he's tired
  • Loves to be rocked to sleep
  • Sleeps in his crib for all naps and at night!
  • Sleeping at night is still somewhat erratic- some nights he's up once sometime between 3 and 4:30, some nights he'll sleep until the morning
  • Naps are short right now. We're happy if he takes an hour long nap. His usual is 30 minutes.
  • Grabs at toys and put them in his mouth. Here's documentation:
  • Wears size one diapers
  • Wears 0-3 month clothes but we'll quickly need 3-6 month old pajamas
  • Either doesn't like his car seat or car rides very much. He usually cries at some point during a car ride.
  • Enjoys going for a ride in his stroller. He can now ride in the stroller without the car seat attachment. I put the head pad in for a little extra support because his head can still be a little wobbly, but we'll probably stop using that soon.
  • Does a bridge pose when he's on his back, especially during diaper changes.
  • Kicking and moving his arms around a lot! I've gotten a couple of hands to the eyes.
  • Can roll up onto his side but still doesn't go all the way over.
  • Is much better with tummy time but still doesn't tolerate it for long. This month's goal is to do more of it!
  • Loves to hang out on his playmat and look up at the toys above him.
  • Has a killer grip now- it's amazing how strong babies become so quickly!
  • He's still a good eater. He will go anywhere from 2-4 hours between feedings. He dives right in. So far, I haven't had to give him any formula.
  • He finally took a bottle from me! I was so proud :)
  • He's really good at holding his head up.
  • His eye sight his so much better! He can really see things around him now which makes him a bit distracted at times.
  • Overall, we're seeing more and more of his personality which makes being around him more and more fun! He's definitely laid back and very sweet with a good sense of humor, but he can also be a bit stubborn. We're excited to get to know him more and more as the days go by!
