G man is 3 months!

Garrett is making progress!
We didn't have a dr's appointment this month, so I don't have stats but he's growing!
•We have a happier baby! He laughs and coos. He is a real talker and makes 'talking' sounds all of the time. He always wants people to talk to him, and he'll get upset if you don't!
•He can pretty much hold his head up! It's not perfect yet, but it's much better. He likes to sit up and tries to sit on his own all of the time. I think he'll sit up by 5 months. He would love to now if he could!
•While he's happier and I've been able to take him places without a complete meltdown, he's still not a great sleeper. He has to be rocked to sleep and he likes 'shhhhh' in his ear. When not being held, he'll only last about 30-45 mins for a nap. At night we can get him to sleep in the rocker around 7, but if you put him in his bed before 8, he wakes up. It's so odd. He has a weird 6th sense. His night sleep is totally disorganized. Sometimes he sleeps until 2, or 1, or maybe midnight. It's always a surprise. I'm ready for that to sort itself out, but I've been told that it will take a serious cry it out session to make it happen, so I pray for a patience while we wait until 6 months to do that.
•He decided he liked to be worn again! Ye! I now do that when I go out with both most of the time. So much easier!
•He loves to be sung to, especially itsy bitsy spider and patty cake.
•this kid has a smile that lights up a room!! He is so excited to see you- even at 2 am, so it kind of makes it better :)
•He's wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers.
•He still loves to be rocked and we nap together in the rocking chair alot!
• G gets to sit in the bimbo now which is awesome! He loves to sit and look around. I think this had helped with his happy factor.
•His congestion is gone! Right about 3 months, it just disappeared. Lovely!
•Luke loves, loves him! He's always kissing and hugging him. I hope they grow to be best buds :)
