Happy 3 months little Jack!
You are growing more and more into a little person everyday. I have to say I'm excited to see you grow. I have learned that the little baby stage is not my favorite. There are things I love about infancy...how much you sleep and that you will sleep so easily in my arms. Now you are developing this thing...an opinion...and you were already pretty opinionated. You still love to be held...in fact you hate not being held. It could be worse really...there will come a time when you no longer want to be held...tear...so for now our house is a disaster and you are happy and held most of the time. You hate tummy time...when ever I put you on your tummy your throw your arms out to the side and refuse to lift your head...and you scream like I'm trying to kill you. I'm not trying to kill you, I promise, just trying to help your neck muscles develop. You do love to be held upright, on someones shoulder in classic burp position or have me hold you sitting on my knees facing me...you love that. You also tolerate your infant seat so I can get ready in the morning...when we don't stay in pajamas all day. I'm really making myself sound like a slacker...my house is a disaster and pi's all day...but I have two loved and cared for boys!!
Anyway...look how much you've grown!!
You are now smiling all the time...you have the sweetest smile!! You also love to coo and ohh and ooo and goo. You are quite the little talker.
I'm guessing you weigh close to 20 lbs. we visit the Dr. next month to know for sure.
You are in 9 month clothes because you are so long!
You love to kick your little legs...getting ready for all that running you will do with your brother.
You have started to reach for toys and bat at them.
You sit in a highchair at dinner so you can be with the rest of us...that will make the tradition to solids pretty easy. Which we will slowly start you on next month...you are currently breastfed...you refuse to take a bottle. You eat about every two hours and go from 9 to 4:30am at night so a nice long stretch. I'm hoping we can drop that with the addition of some solids next month. You are much less gassy than you were but you still spit up so much...like all the time. But obviously you are gaining weight. I have gotten used to being slightly soaked all day. I try to let you lay down after you have eaten so things can settle and I have stopped burping you...if you burp almost your whole meal comes back up...gross...but no matter what I do you barf all day long all over everyone...hopefully solids and learning to sit will help.
You are a very social little guy...you are almost always happy...as long as you are part of the action!
We sing together every night before bed. I sing you a song and you just coo right along...it's one the the high lights of my day.
You have stained our couch with spit up and poop...at least Ikea sells extra covers!
There are times when I'm overwhelmed but then I look at you, happy and kicking, and I know everything is ok. This time in life means I get less done around the house but it is so short, soon you will be running around and doing school that I will long for these days of sitting on the couch holding you.
You have to bluest eyes and the cutest rolls...
See you cry sometimes...you were upset because Jake kicked your head...tis the life of the youngest! When you cry you get this big pouty lip and you have tears...you've had tears since birth...most babies don't get tears til later.
I love when you grab my finger. You have started figuring out how your hands work and you love to suck on your fingers.
Jackson Ray, you are a delight to have in our family. I am loving watching you grow and discover the world around you. You seem to be quite the clever little guy and there is a little twinkle in your eye that could be mischief!! I am excited to continue to get to know you and see who you develop into.
Oh, one more recent development...you have started crying when Jake cries...it upsets you so much! Which makes for an exciting time in our house when both boys are screaming...this to shall pass...right???
Love,
Mommy/ absolutely adore you!
